Kiwa_Guro Or Nurebairo?


Karmachanic

Recommended Posts

Lots of talk recently about Kiwa_Guro. Is Nurebairo feeling lonely? Wondering, for those who have both, which they prefer and why. Apart from waterproof, what characteristics do you enjoy?

 

It's getting close to the time to purchase a, one, singular black ink and would appreciate your input.

 

Thank you!

Add lightness and simplicate.

Well I enjoy Kiwa-Guro because it is one of my waterproof inks that I can use for postcards and anything else I don't want water damaged. As far as I can tell from reviews Nurebairo has no such properties. It dose however have a massive amount of sheen.

Please allow me (remind me though, brain like a sieve nowadays) to send you a sample of Nurebairo.

I don't think the two compare in any way.

Whilst I don't have much experience of Kiwa-Guro I am a big fan of Nurebairo and know enough about it to say it's not a Kiwa_Guro substitute.

Kiwa_Guro is black. That's it. Black. No other stealth colours (apart form its sheen) to speak of. It's silky smooth to use and has a distinctive feel to it. I felt quite special using it as if I were stepping back in time somehow. I think we should all own a bottle.

Nurebairo however is like a super saturated blue black. The written line is visually amongst the blackest I've seen and oh my does the ink come alive when washed over.

I'm exaggerating a little, only a little though, when I say that to me the ink is worth the price for just the label :wub:

I'll make a note and get some to you. Playing with it first hand will make all the difference.

      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
