Forgive my reviewing an ink that has been reviewed thoroughly before. This is my first review and I wanted to start with an ink that I have a lot of experience with.

 

The written review was done in the Rhodia dotpad. The Titmouse sketch was done with J. Herbin's Terre de Feu and Cacao du Bresil in a Stillman & Birn Gamma Series sketchbook.

 

Edited to add color wash detail, which I previously forgot to upload. Reasonable care was taken to ensure color accuracy.

Beautiful artwork! Well, I not dislike this ink, although I still need to give it some trials. The Parker Urban fine nib was to fine for it, I find this ink a bit dry.

Beautiful sketch!

Thank you both. I find the ink to be of medium wetness in my pens.

 

I've added a detail of the color wash, which I had forgotten to upload.

Your artwork really makes these reviews.

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

Beautiful, beautiful bird. I want to try this ink some time. It's my brother's favorite.

I'm happy this was recently revived so that I stumbled across your review and sketch! Both are very well done, and the sketch complements the review (which complements the sketch). JHerbin should consider hiring you.

The sketch is marvelous!

On my screen Terre de feu swatch looks a dead ringer for Waterman Absolute Brown.

On the other hand I am surprised Alt-Bordeaux looks so dark and brown - I'd always thought of it as faded pinkish purple...

Jason, a sketch like that could help J Herbin sell a lot of ink. They should commission you to do demos. Charming titmouse, and I love the bokeh effect of the background.

      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
