This review along with all my others can be found at The Dizzy Pen.

 

For some reason my original post was moved to the comparisons section even though it is more a review, so I'm splitting the two up so that the reviews will be indexed in the review section.

 

Here is the review card for Noodler's Saguaro Wine (Click to enlarge the photo)

I think Noodler's Saguaro Wine is a nice alternative to Iroshizuku Yama Budo if you can't afford or don't want to pay the $35 MSRP ($28 at JetPens). If you'd like to view the comparison post please click here: Iroshizuku Yama Budo vs. Noodler's Saguaro Wine

I'm going to get some of this ink eventually! Love the color! Could you please post a picture of your TWSBI with this ink in it! I'll bet they look GOOD together cloud9.gif

Need a pen repaired or a nib re-ground? I'd love to help you out.

Today I got a bottle of Noodler's Cactus Fruit, which is one of the "American Eel" lubricated inks. I think it's very close to Saguaro Wine, and what a fabulous color it is! I loved it immediately.

I found PR Plum to be a pretty close match as well.

*sigh* Don't you just hate it when people don't read before they post?

 

Let me just quote the disclaimer here:

 

disclaimer: The goal of these reviews is to find inks that are similar in color and behavior to the Iroshizuku line but at a lower price point. This should not be construed as an attempt to find exact replicas. That is not possible. The Iroshizuku inks succeed at being unique. The only way you can get an exact match is to save up for the Iroshizuku. Whether or not these suggestions work for you is entirely up to you.

That's exactly what I called it: an alternative.

Oh sorry, it seems my tone in that post doesn't seem so friendly. I was just attempting to paraphrase your disclaimer into a single sentence. I had a thought about two days ago after looking at this review; I was thinking about how whenever people ask for look-alikes of iroshi's, people usually say the same sort of thing as in your disclaimer, and then I thought up a simple paraphrase for what most people disclaim, the similar inks are `alternatives, not substitutes`. Then yesterday I thought I'd post it. Ah, the random things that pop into one's head when it's late at night and past my bedtime ... maybe that's why some of us here have pen dreams and ink dreams.

      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
