That certainly is impressive! Have to give this one a try. My only iron gall experience is with MB Midnight Blue, and this is much bluer: I like it.

 

Excellent review as always!

Thanks! Tis one of my favorites. Get some indeed. Get some of Pharmacists ink too. Oh, and Ackermans iron gall ( what a bottle). Scabiossa too of course.

A great review of an outstanding ink! I use this in one of my Onotos - and nothing else. Because it stays bluer, for relatively longer, it's of more interest to me. Having said that, I only have ESSRI, Lamy Blue-Black and Scabiosa so I suppose compared to them, the Salix would be bluer!!!!

Fabulous ink and I would recommend that everybody should try it out at least once.

This is an ink that is worth getting a sample of, if you are looking for the color and basic behavior. I started to fall in love with Scabiosa, until I saw how it faded with UV exposure. Salix and Pharmacist's Turkish Night both have this issue as well. I even noticed some fading from ESSRI. I may still continue to use Scabiosa anyway because I love the color and shading, but Salix just isn't that awesome from fine nibs and the durability isn't convincing. Very cool effects from your flex nibs though.

Love this ink and it's the permanent load for my TWSBI 540 B.

Of course I don't store my papers in bright sunlight.

I just picked up a bottle of Salix at the last Dallas Pen Show, and it is a fabulous ink in a pen with a flexible nib. I've been writing with this ink for a week now and I've not even gotten a chance to try out the latest Ink Drop yet, so enamored I am with Salix.

Regards,

I've been using this ink for a little while now, and I like more and more every time I use it. Thanks for posting the review.

All I want is 1 more pen, and 1 more bottle of ink, and maybe 1 more pad of paper. Well, at least until tomorrow. Oh yeah, and throw in that bottle of single malt. Is that asking for too much?

 

thanks Chris.

      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
