This seems to be a rather popular thread in the writing instruments forum, so why not in the inky thoughts forum?!

 

So what are you waiting for?

 

I have 3 bottles of Diamine on the way: Steel Blue, Jet Black, and Poppy Red. Diamine said they were including a special gift with my order. I understand this means an assortment of ink cartridges. :)

If you bought from the Diamine UK site; it's probably a nice box of assorted cartridges which I also snagged with a 4 bottle of ink special. I have the Poppy also and found it to be a bit dull in shade and richness; I am not the best evaluator perhaps and I am going to check it out in some other pens as it's a New Century color vs. the regular line. Let me know how you like it or perhaps others reading this could weigh in here.

You must've gotten one of the last bottles of El Lawrence as they were out when I looked and placed an order today. Oh well, They had gotten Kung Te-Cheng back in stock, so I will be enjoying that in a few days.

Yeah, I think there were only 2 or three bottles of El' Lawrence left when I ordered them late last week. I had actually been waiting for them to get Ottoman Rose back in stock which I think was the same time they got Kung Te-Cheng back in stock too. That's another interesting ink I'd like to try at some point. It's an endless cycle for me :rolleyes: .

Would we have it any other way? :thumbup:

North African Violet!

 

Actually, I needed a Pilot/Nakimi converter, so I ordered two from Swisher...and then there was that lovely new Safari color (pink!)...

 

So, I decided to get some ink too, just to finish off my bank account.

Ostensibly, it's for the wife's birthday... but funny how much I'm looking forward to this package too:

 

Pilot Iroshizuku (to go with the pre-birthday gift of Kon-Peki)

* Tsutsuji

* Tsuki-yo

* Momiji (I'm really looking forward to this vermillion!)

* Asa-gao

 

As a writer, she tends to prefer different inks for different stories or edits... so I'll just call her an enabler and be happy with it :-P

Plug for FPN Tulipe Noir. Can't say enough good things about this color. It's my only Noodler's-made ink, but it's one of my favorites!

I have 12 ink samples coming from Pear Tree - in addition to the four I just got - so I can keep looking for my favorites! So far I love J Herbin's Cafe des Iles, Noodlers Antietam and La Coleur Royale, Herbin's Eclat de Saphir, Sailor's Red Brown, and I bought two pens on eBay for my sample of BSB that's coming in these new samples.

      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

      @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
