Thanks for this review. This is one about which I was curious, but after my experience with Bad Green Gator, I've been hesitant to buy. The brown seems a little better behaved, but I do see that it, like the Gator, gets much lighter in a thinner nib.

I came here for the pictures and stayed for the conversation.

I wonder if a little dilution would help the feathering problem?

 

Excellent review and superb penmanship!!

Nice review, thanks.

And how can this be, because he is the Kwisatz Haderach.

Thanks for the review, I've been thinking about getting a Noodlers brown thats bullet proof.

The difference between the almost right word & the right word is really a large matter--it's the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning.

Signum, excellent review.

 

I'm still trying to figure out why my review of this same ink, that I posted here got moved up into the scans section, and is not listed on the ink review index as yours now is. I would prefer that it be in this section where I think it gets more play. Again, thanks for your review too!.

With the new FPN rules, now I REALLY don't know what to put in my signature.

I am on my second or third refill of my L2K and so far I have found it to be a commendable ink.

 

No problems. (Which is probably the highest compliment in this day of most paper being fountain pen unfriendly.)

 

A funny: First filling, I slopped some ink over the side and the label wipped off with it. :-)

YMMV

For starters, you can go to youtube.com to look for free calligraphy lessons.

 

However, if you have a bit of money to invest in a lifelong skill (a personalize handwriting), then here's what I recommend.

 

1) DVD by Caliken

 

2) Italic Letters: Calligraphy and Handwriting by Getty and Dubay

 

The DVD by Caliken has six scripts to learn. In my opinion, there are three impressive scripts to learn from that DVD: Copperplate, half-uncial, and Blackletter. Copperplate requires more effort in learning because you need to keep in mind when to add pressure or release pressure as you form the letters.

 

Practice often and you can develop an impressive handwriting that makes memorable birthday cards and Christmas cards for your friends and family members. :)

Thanks for these two suggestions. Ordered book from Amazon, checking on DVD shipping to USA.

Error corrected...You can now find SamCapote's review of Noodler's #41 moved to this section and in the review index.

Wow really appreciate updates. I really have not seen this from other posters, not that it's a value judgement to others. And it's always nice to see lovely handwriting with an ink review. It really does add to the enjoyment.

      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
