This is Noodler's Red, a very "red" red that dries darker than it goes on and looks gorgeous (though not on copy paper).

Definitely an ink to have in your stable.

You're right, it IS a very red red. A very thorough review, also. Very informative. I can see I need to start paying more attention to good paper. Now, if only I could get my Ahab to do what yer flex does.

What a fantastic red! If only there was a bulletproof version of this. Very nice review. Thanks!

Wow, I would love to see this next to Diamine's Red Dragon. Thank you for another fabulous review of a truly stunning red! :thumbup:

Very nice review of a very nice looking ink. I am now thinking about getting some. The Noodler's inks with boring names seem to be fairly underappreciated on the whole.

 

And many thanks for adding commentary about hairlines. It may not always be 100% applicable to everyone, but for those of us who use very fine nibs, it is nice to know if an ink will cooperate and produce nice results.

Robert.

Thanks for a great review! I have also been experimenting with Noodler's "Standard" inks and the plainly-named inks (one in the same?) and find them very interesting. Great job!

Fox Red has great water resistance! Nice color too. My first bottle was super feathery until heavily diluted, about to try a sample of that ink from another vendor today. Fox Red is not entirely Eternal: there appears to be noticeable fading when exposed to light: the writing taped to a wall at the end of February is now more orange and slightly lighter than the control sample writing in a closed notebook.

I recently compared Diamine Red Dragon to Sheaffer Skrip Red and my preference would be the latter.

I recently made the same comparison and my preference was Red Dragon.

Oh well, am pleased we live in a constitutional republic which allows for subjectivity.

I was not pleased at Fox Red being about six times the price of a Diamine ink, but then again Diamine must do twenty red inks that run at the sight of water, and Red Fox is the reddest permanent ink I've seen. I'm impressed enough to consider trying Hunter Green in case it's an improvement over the watery Green Marine.

I haven't tried Fox Red, but you might want to have a look at Noodler's Park Red -- it's a titch pink to be what I call a "true" red (like Diamine Classic Red) but it's pretty waterproof in my experience.  Skrip Red is too blood-red a red for me; I don't like the brownish undertone.

      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
