As much as I hate to say it, I'm on a massive RO River of Fire kick. Sure, my letters may smudge and the ocean may make my pages bleed (I'm hoping I find a chest somewhere I can store my pages to keep dry), but it reminds me of the East River in the late 80s. Aah, home.

this made me laugh when the Friday eve laugh-o-meter was -0

 

I was thinking De ARRRtramentis Or Noodler's glow in the dark to signal the FPN rescuers.

 

Yes, me too!

Any ink that can also be used for tattooing?

Not tried that - looks gorgeous. Do you remember those t-shirts that changed colour with body temperature?

One of us better take a good water proof ink so we will be sure that our story gets told if we don't survive. Monsoon season may destroy all the other writings, so I'm bringing the Platinum Carbon Black.

 

(Please, somebody make sure to grab some RUM! What's a desert island without a little Capt. Morgan!

Then I would pick GvFC Moss green. And unopened bottle of Bacardi oakheart to go with my hot coco.

You do not have a right to post. You do not have a right to a lawyer. Do you understands these rights you do not have?

 

Kaweco Supra (titanium B), Al-Sport (steel BB).

Parker: Sonnet (dimonite); Frontier GT; 51 (gray); Vacumatic (amber).

Pelikan: m600 (BB); Rotring ArtPen (1,9mm); Rotring Rive; Cult Pens Mini (the original silver version), Waterman Carene (ultramarine F)

It's a dark and stormy night.

 

The captain has given the order to abandon ship, likely because the ship is sinking.

 

I would grab whatever ink I first set my eyes on, along with my pens and abandon ship!

 

At this particularly moment, the ink bottle closest to me is DeAtramentis Steel Blue only because I just inked a pen with it.

I would probably drown from indecision. I have several pens that could make me happy for a year, but deciding on a single ink would be really hard. I'd have to debate between picking one that I love and risking not liking it after we were rescued, or one that I'm not so fond of to start with that wouldn't matter if I hated it for ever after. Or maybe something nice and serviceable that I like but doesn't illicit any strong feelings. See, I even have trouble deciding which method to use to decide! And don't get me started on how important to consider waterfastness.

Yet another Sarah.

An ink bottle is heavy, so may threaten my survival. I grab a floaty carpenter's pencil, increasing my chances by approximately 0.02% +/- n. This was calculated using a pen filled with Montblanc Shakespeare Velvet Red.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
