3 Oysters Mustard Ink

[Charles Skinner]

I have a bottle of 3 Oysters Mustard Ink and find it very unusual and interesting. I wonder it the other 3 Oyster inks are also "different" from one might expect. I know this likely will be a hard question to answer. I just thought there might be somebody who has tried the other colors on this site.

Haven't tried any of the 3 Oysters inks. So -- what makes Mustard "unusual and interesting"? Is it the color, the flow or other behavior, or something else?

Also, a scan or photo might be nice (even a full-blown review).

Charles, I may know what you’re talking about, like there’s a somber niche that 3 Oysters occupies. Giwa, for example, shows a bronze-patina-green tinge that I haven’t seen elsewhere. See link.

I find the inks pleasing and not too dry. The mustard is a bit light for me, but would be nice for penning a note to someone.

If you have 3 Oysters Mustard you know what I mean by the color being unusual. The company has a few other inks, and my question, ---- ask before ----- is are the other the other inks "unusual?" If you know, please let me know. I would hate to spend the money to buy "just another blue ink!"

Charles -- to reiterate what Ruth said above -- what do you mean by "unusual"? What is for you "usual". C'mon, tell us what makes an ink unusual for you. Maybe it isn't "unusual" at all for me! (No harm meant).

I wish I could tell you what I mean by "unusual," Just can not put it into words. All I can say is that it is unusual and not like any color I have ever seen. The best I can come up with is --- "Goldish Brown," -- or "Brownish Gold." Hope this helps. C. S.

I've tried samples of Black Moss and Purple Gray, and liked them both. The Black Moss had good flow and behaved well on inexpensive notebook paper, and was very dark, nearly black in medium and broad nibs. The Purple Gray was much like Robert Oster's Purple Rock in color, but less dry/more lubricated , and was also well behaved for me.
