The Nooder's bottles are awesome but do not have the same panache.

 

Of course not! But they have this heavy-duty-appeal.

 

With Chanel as well as Noodler's bottles in the house, you have the best of both worlds, I'd say.

 

Now I have to go, I have to put on some perfume.

My avatar is a painting by Ilya Mashkov (1881-1944): Self-Portrait; 1911, which I photographed in the New Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow.

Just completed a one (1) year test on Noodler's Blue Ghost ink. I wrote on a sheet of parchment and left it on a window sill for the last year. Today I looked at it under a black light and it was still very visible, no signs of fading. I really expected that the sun would have destroyed the "glow in the dark" property of the ink, but it did not. Granted the window sill in question is on the north side of my house, it is MY office, but it is still exposed to sunlight.

 

I wrote the test page using an XF nib, Lamy Safari, which is a very dry and scratchy nib. So the amount of ink in the sample is minimal.

What a bizarre test! Take something that is invisible and put it in the sun (still invisible) and check back a year later to see if the sun has made it more invisible! :lticaptd:

 

Yep I understand what your doing. Just trying to describe it to someone not into FP's it sounded silly.

Yeah, it may be silly, but I did it too. I mean what if my secret notes could never be read??? Or what if the GB markings I made on my original bank loans faded when the bank xeroxed copies? I'm glad my GB doesn't fade (and I love that it is invisible).

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Oh, no, I wanted to know if it would still be visible with UV light. What if it had faded and could no longer be used to pass along secret messages?

      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
