Nib: Nakaya soft flex fine

Paper: Clairefontaine Triomphe

 

When I bought this ink, I thought I was getting something lighter, like what I saw on the other reviews of this ink.

 

Edit: The scan looks quite a bit lighter than how it looks in real life--IRL, it looks like the dark, flexed parts.

 

This, ladies and gentlemen, is very much a mysterious, dusty, "moon" color. Take a look for yourselves:

The Legend

Keep writing.

Keep doing it and doing it.

Even in the moments when it's so hurtful to think about writing.

Thanks! Great color, and I always enjoy your writing samples.

 

I've never tried this ink, but it looks similar to my "Umbergine" mix (see thread in Inky Thoughts forum). I'll have to compare them sometime.

 

Don

These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value.--Thomas Paine, "The American Crisis", 1776

Thanks for the scan. It's a great colour, and your handwriting, as always, is a joy to look at.

Hana, you handwriting never ceases to amaze! :)

 

It's a very nice color. One for the "to buy"-list...

"There is hardly anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper and the people who consider price only are this man's lawful prey."

Thanks for the great compliments; thank you, thank you!

 

I just got this precious ink all over my fingers during class, because I failed to wipe the excess ink off completely after filling it up this morning. :doh:

 

What a fashion statement!

It's always nice to see a good review of an ink color, Thanks for the great review, Hana. I like J Herbin inks and this is a pleasing color. Your handwriting is beautiful! Off topic just a bit, I've enjoyed your samples of the ink label for the FPN ink. I've been folllowing that thread also. Keep up the good work, you have a wonderful talent.

 

And, Charlotte Bronte.... Jane Eyre is my all time favorite book! :)9

I haven't read Villette, so now you've peaked my interest!

Oh, my goodness! Jane Eyre is my all time favorite, too! I'd always wondered why all my classmates were so impatient with the rich, deep narrative.. Good to know you have such excellent taste, Rosey! Charlotte Bronte's writing makes me feel. Ooh, I could rant on and on, but I don't want to spoil the books for anyone~

Fans of Jane Eyre might really like The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde. You have to be willing to suspend your disbelief about 200' in the air, but it's well worth it.

Ooh, sounds very interesting! Sounds like a much better way to Eyre than to watch the movie versions. Thanks so much for the tip! :D

It was your review that swayed me into purchasing this ink and I am so grateful for that! At some point I would like to try a brown ink but I am so enamoured with this one that that will have to wait!

All the best.

      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
