You always do the best reviews and your Japanese kana make me (Omas) green with envy O.o

I'm sorry, that was awful.

Shalom!

Thank you for your kind words, Caffeinated42! People like you make me want to keep doing more ink reviews! ^^

 

I can't blame you for that pun; that's a solid one. :)

Nice review. One of my favourite greens. But mine is less blue.

Thank you! I like your spotches - my desk looks like that sometimes (often).

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Very nice review and beautiful ink!! Will certainly need to try. Thanks for sharing.

 

Thanks, gentlyom! It's definitely worth getting a sample. I'll also be reviewing Lamy Green and Sheaffer Green soon, which should be pretty similar. :)

I only had disappointments with this ink , I had to mix with MB Emerald in order to get a proper lubrication and inkflow.

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

      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

      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
