At work: Pelikan 4001 Royal Blue again, Pelikan M600 F.

At home: Parker Quink Black, Eversharp Skyline M semi-flex. Surprising amount on feathering even on "nice" paper.

Messing about with inks...

What's really interesting is the difference in shade of the Noodlers Brexit. I think the middle example is from an unshaken/not shaken enough bottle, while the top and bottom examples are from a well shaken bottle. Also, the last time I used the Kung Te-cheng the shade was much lighter. I suspect I hadn't shaken the bottle enough that time too.

Thank you for this comparison! I really love the Kyo-iro ink and keep asking myself what I would purchase as a replacement if Soft Snows ceased to be manufactured, and I've wondered about these, which I now see side by side. So far the leading contender is Robert Oster Barossa Grape.

 

Funnily, I like the middle instance of Brexit best of three you show. I'm not sure my screen is calibrated well, but the other instances of Brexit remind me of J Herbin Bleu Myosotis.

I haven't tried the Robert Oster inks, or the Bleu Myosotis...far too many inks (and pens)...not enough cash . :(

I also don't have a large budget for inks, but fortunately I have opportunities to try unfamiliar ones. This past weekend at the San Francisco pen show, there were more than 600 inks available to try, including about 20 Oster inks.

Thank you! I think everyone had fun. I spent most of my time working at the registration desk, but I did have a couple of hours to play among the murky purples (as is my wont).

      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
