I remember from one of his videos he explained the origin of each of the names that comprise his name; instead of searching for it I looked for his "Curriculum Vitae" & found Dr. (SBRE) Brown is: "Stephen Brendan Ronald Erik Brown."

Well, thank you very much for that kind advice. No, I didn't know (otherwise I'd not have asked) and I've not even tried to find out what SBRE means. I don't have the ink and wasn't interested in getting it. Akkerman is a completely different story and one that's (at least for me) more interesting. I don't think that anybody -- even one of us moderators -- knows who manufactures Akkerman inks (to nail down Post #14).

So glad you have been able to confirm that this is made by Diamine.

I did make certain of the facts before I wrote the review, but it turned out to not be necessary as Stephen confirms it himself. -_-

Recently got one of the larger bottles of this. Your review is spot on and an enjoyable read. Really like this ink.

I like this ink, but the ink in the bottle I bought can not be considered to be "brown!" the ink in the bottle I bought looks somewhat red. Have any of you had that experience?

Please ---- somebody tell me what is wrong with the bottle of ink from Akkerman called SBRE BROWN. Two reviews here call it a brown or yellow brown ink. The ink in my bottle is NOT brown. Looking at the bottle, it does look brown. I have used it in two different pens and it IS NOT a brown ink, in my opinion. Something wrong with my eyes? The paper I am using is changing the color?

 

I like the ink and use it often. It is a nice color. It is just not "brown." This is the last time I will trouble you with my eyesight. Sorry if I have "run this into the ground."

What color are you seeing? This ink is on the orange-red side of brown.

Are people calling this a "brown ink" because of the "creator's" last name? The ink that came in MY bottle of this ink seems to be a reddish brown. Certainly not a "brown" ink! ------ I like it, however. --- Has anyone else had this reaction? ---- C. S.

What us going on here???? At first the ink everybody was calling "brown" was a shade of "red" from my bottle. NOW. TODAY the same ink looks light brown! Go figure. Was the ink in my bottle just not mixed up as it should have been? The strangest ink mystery I have ever experienced! C. S.

Have you shaken the bottle a bit (after the first couple of drawing from it if it doesn't have much space under the cap when new)?

      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
