Hi,

 

This is my first post, I know ESSRI has already been covered to death but I'm really enjoying the ink and figured I'd at least give something back to the community.

Great review and I disagree - not done to death at all as I reckon there are still a lot of people out there who haven't tried it, being scared of iron-gall! I've just started using it again as I stumbled upon the best pen/ESSRI combination I have; quite by chance. Basically, it's really 'shining' in a Sailor Sapporo with a B nib. I can see this partnership going far.

This is great, thanks! I'm still hoping to buy this ink soon.

 

I'm pretty sure the review index only has Sandy1's review of ESSRI, so it's great to have other perspectives. I'm sure she'll concur. Most of the comments on her excellent review didn't include writing samples, so yours is particularly valuable.

 

I'd say welcome to FPN, but if you own ESSRI, I'm pretty sure you've been lurking here for awhile. :)

Hi,

 

:W2FPN:

 

And congratulations on your first Ink Review! :thumbup:

 

Believe me, more ideas and more samples from different pens & papers are always most welcome!

 

The comparo with tsuki-yo is interesting. Too bad you're getting the longish dry time that I also experience.

 

I look forward to more of your Ink Reviews.

 

Bye,

Thank you for a great review. I have only this week managed to ink up and try the ESSRI from a sample and I was very pleased with the 'magical' properties of sky blue to almost blue-black. Mine seems to oxidise at a slower rate than yours as my written samples darkened overnight! This is my first ever iron-gall ink - I have generally avoided them after concerns over their impact on filing systems.

      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
