Lovely review and a great hand! I've been thinking about this ink for a while, and I think you've inspired me to take the plunge.

Flow good, ooze bad!

Great review and great-looking ink! I've got a sample on the way from Pear Tree Pens, and I look forward to finding out if the difference in nib width and color is as astonishing as your scan shows -- those lines look worlds apart!

 

Thanks for the review and scan, and let me echo Prof Mike in saying that your hand looks terrific, too.

Thaks for the great review. I really like this ink. It has been the only ink in my Yellow Toledo since I got it in January.

Great flow, color and shading.

 

Regards, greg

Don't feel bad. I'm old; I'm meh about most things.

Thanks for a great review - but then I am already a fan of this ink!! It is in my Nakaya 'Shu' large cigar shape pen with a music nib that puts this lovely ink right through all its paces!!!

Each day is the start of the rest of your life!

Make it count!!!

And yet another fan here. That italic nib certainly shows of SRB's best qualities. Nice job!

Thanks for the kind words folks. Another round of pro bono ink reviews are slated for my broad nib examination. :)

Thanks very much for this review - I have this ink, and hadn't been that impressed, but now I see I need to put it in a pen with a broader nib!

I chose my user name years ago - I have no links to BBS pens (other than owning one!)

Great review, and I love seeing your penmanship with a broad nib - at first blush I was expecting an italic. I don't know why, but I'd always been locked into italic nibs when trying old english-style lettering, you certainly opened new possibilities for me!

 

Thanks!

The Vogon stared down at him as sluggish thoughts moiled around in the murky depths.

"Yeah," he said, "but now you come to mention it, most of the actual minutes are pretty lousy."

      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

      @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
