Graf Von Faber Castell Hazelnut Brown


Montblanc owner and lover

Recommended Posts

Here is (if my picture show...) a little review (my first one) of the new Graf von Faber Castell ink: Hazelnut brown,selled in 75ml inkpot for 30€ so in a range of price comparable to the iroshizuku (less expensive tough).

Oh euuh sorry for my awful handwriting,i wrote this at 2 AM in my bed and i'm a lefty so....If needed ask me and i'll type the text.

Nice review! :-) That brown is exactly what I would expect from something called hazelnut. It would be interesting to see how it does in a flex pen, since I think that really tends to bring out the shading in any ink.

I like that shade! The only brown I have right now is some Private Reserve Sepia.

Ditto on the expected color of an ink named Hazelnut. Great first review! Thank you.

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

Crass, looks almost like a historical manuscript number. E.g. like Noodler's Galileo Manuscript Brown (an FPN exclusive to be sure but I don't know if it's still available).

Hello. Just the colour I was trying to describe. I tried mixing my M Blanc Toffee w/ a bit of distilled H2O, but just could not pin it down. Thank you so much, LeRoy

Thanks for the review, and a great first one at that. Been debating between getting a bottle of this or Montblanc Toffee Brown - might go with the MB first, but will definitely get a sample of Hazelnut.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
