Waterman Bleu Sérénité / Waterman Serenity Blue



Dear FPN friends,



The lovely J Herbin blue ink I received with my excellent Pelikan M800 Fountain Pen.



There is a nice little story to that, which I mentioned before in a topic by Migo984. It's a nice story about excellent service :).


Last year's february I bought an very nice Parker Premier fountain pen at the Fountain Pen store in Breda (Netherlands).



www.tschrijfgereitje.nl


The shopkeeper then offered me a free bottle of Parker quink Blue Ink. Nice or not??? :D



Unfortunately the Nib got bended, making the writing terribly scratchy... The shopkeeper warned me (when I bought the FP, to keep the bill for guarantee purposes... What did I do... I lost the bill :huh:.


Three months later I was back in Breda and visited 't schrijfgereitje..


Fortunately the shopkeeper of t'Schrijfgereitje (the Little Writing Tool... Nice name!!!) is not only friendly but also very good with fountain pens... Just come back tomorrow! I will see what I ca do for you... The next day the Nib was repaired and the Fountain Pen fully serviced... and most important... It writes like a dream now :D



Well I thought: At this shop I will buy another Fountain Pen, when my eye fell on the splendid Pelikan M800 green biased Fountain Pen (Stresemann stripes)....


Well you guessed it I bought it there ( my advice do not often buy such nice but expensive pens in one year... your budget gets more ruined than the economy of North Korea, in the shortest possible time :D)



and again the shop keepr offered me a bottle of ink of my choice.... FREE OF CHARGE!!!



Super service wouldn't you agree ;) ... I will contact the shop to ask wether this is the same when you order a Fountain Pen from his webshop.... I will soon let you know




On topic now...



The ink, though a bit dry according to some reviews I have read, is very smooth. The blue is a very rich dark blue with a noble look to it... I think it's very chique with a touch of oyal richness to it :lol:

Tricked throughout the centuries...

For centuries people had been tricked by kings & "religion-alism"

Today people get tricked by (neo)capitalism :)

Again, such a nice review. It is not only informative -- of course -- but I also find it so kind and warm with your mentioning of a story connected with the whole thing. And that you do underline very much that which you consider to be an excellent service, anywhere. Hurrah! I also like the marking system (5 = great, 1 = less so). How indicative! I'm too afraid to utilize that objective approach myself.

 

Warm regards (as our one and only Wim would say)

Hello Mike thanks for the compliment...

 

Since you are from Berlin...

 

1 bis 5/ 5 bis 1... Bin Holländer in Österreich... aber das Schulnoten-System sollte Ihnen doch auch bekannt sein... Bitte verwenden Sie dieses System... Viel Spaß :-)

 

Sorry folks I was just explaining my grading system (Austrian/German school grade system)...

 

Well...

Lapis your ink reviews aren't that bad either..... I love the Brits for their understatements :-) :-)...

 

Your review on the Pelikan Edelstein was: "hammermäßig großartig" (German for very goooood!!!)

 

Hope to see more of you ! :-)

 

Auf ein baldiges Wiedersehen (See you soon)

It's always nice to hear about wonderful purchasing experiences. Thank you for sharing the story. Also, I would think the pen and ink combo looks stunning. That blue 1670 is certainly pretty.

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

Is this the same as the 1670 Bleu Ocean? Because I found that ink to be disappointing. I had wanted a blue version of Rouge Hematite, and didn't get it, especially after all the hype of "a new 1670 ink". It was a nice enough color but didn't have the "pop" I was expecting.

I have this in my wetter pens. It seems to calm them down.

 

It's quite a nice blue, very pleasing to the eye.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
