3 Oysters

[LizEF]

Does anyone know anything about this company and its inks? On the Goulet Pens website, they've moved from "Coming in August" to "Coming in September" to "Coming in October". I'm beginning to wonder if they're for real or if they're just wishful thinking.

 

Vanness also have these inks listed, but all their site says is "out of stock".

 

(I've been holding off on a TWSBI Go, and maybe a titanium nib for another pen, pending arrival of the inks because the shipping costs for ink alone just don't seem worth it to me, so if I get the pen now, I'll never get the inks.)

 

Anyone got any facts? Should I give up now, or keep waiting?

They do exist and you can buy them here:

Thanks. That site was how I knew I was interested in the inks (their swabs).

 

But I was wondering if they were ever really going to make it to the US. If I can't buy from a US retailer with whom I already do business, I'll pass - just a personal preference - I keep the number of stores with whom I do business down to what some people would consider a ridiculously low number.

Full bottles seem to be in stock and available right now at Vanness.

 

No samples that I can see.

It could be that -- as being so new to Vanness -- they don't have samples made up yet.

The other possibility, though, is that you have to click on the link for size (and that creates a drop down with both bottled and sample quantities). Although I just checked and it's probably the former... (I compared the links for one of the Oyster inks with something they've had for a while).

Sweet! This surely means it won't be long before samples are available (likely at both Vanness and Goulet). Which means it won't be long before I can also order my TWSBI Go, titanium nib, and maybe the Pineider Pen Filler thingy (if it's designed to work for any pen with the right size grip - hard to tell, there aren't any details yet).

 

...Erm, and maybe a sample of De Atramentis Document Grey. And maybe Colorverse KSLV-II & 75t Rocket Engine...

The Black Moss and Delicious Mustard inks look intriguing, provided they aren't too close to Sailor Miruai or Colorverse String respectively. I'll have to wait for a couple reviews to come out for them.

I'm interested in Hwangto and Hangangmul.

Hwangto looks good too! I can never have too many oranges!

They have some gorgeous colours . Does anyone know if the ph is neutral

or anything else about them ?

I'll purchase the sample from goulets in the future. Currently, I'm interested in:
- Delicious Purple Gray

- Hun Min Jeong Eum Cobalt

- I.COLOR.U Namsan

- I.COLOR.U Hangangmul

Hope they're better than COLORVERSE. Purchased a COLORVERSE set of Qasar, swapped the small 15ml bottle with a fellow buyer from the group for Casanova. While the colors look good, I just hate the characteristic of the ink. Very slow to dry and even after days of being written of paper, still smear easily even when my hand is not sweat yet. The fluid is quite sticky, fell kinda like caramel stick to the nib, might be very hard to clean if left in the pen for ... let say over 2 months. I had DIAMINE eyedropped in some PREPPY for over a year and no sweat at all trying to clean them. Most even wrote normally before I cleaned them.

I just received 5 bottles from Gouletpens. I’m going to try Seal Brown tomorrow.
