My ink bottle has arrived and what better use but to contribute to this thread?

 

On the other hand I have been learning copperplate script for the past couple of months ( and struggling with it as you can see ) but practice makes perfect.

 

The ink is just gorgeous and even my wife likes it.

 

From a poem by Luis de Camoes, a famous Portuguese poet.

 

Kind regards,

 

Rui

I love my letter carrier!

 

"I know I think

The love I have for you
Will never end (well maybe)
And so my love, I offer you
A love that is strong

A prune that is true."

My ink has shipped. I'm guessing it'll be here in about 5 to 10 days.

Tes rires retroussés comme à son bord la rose,


Effacent mon dépit de ta métamorphose;


Tu t'éveilles, alors le rêve est oublié.

My ink has shipped. I'm guessing it'll be here in about . . . halfway to FOREVER! I guess that is the price I pay for the price I paid. I went with the $23 no shipping fee option. Mt status is "Shipped" with the following message:

 

DELIVERY ESTIMATE: WEDNESDAY, JULY 31, 2013 - WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 21, 2013 BY 8:00PM

 

In the meantime I have a sample I received from Liamtyr to get me through. I shall start a romantic letter soon. :)

My ink shipped and it will be just a couple of days shipping as I ordered from the evil empire themselves as opposed to some out-of-country side store. First thing I'm going to do it bathe in YB.

Please take a photo of the grape-y aftermath and show it to us here. Don't forget to wash your hair with it as well.

At the very worst I'll become Giuseppe with an offer of freshly made whine.

Beautiful. You've captured the true essence of the YB Club.

 

Thanks. My wife liked it, too.

Baby's bathtime fun. Notice how the YB took over the prime shampoo spot from the much revered Yarok.

Guess who E.B.B. is!

 

I believe the ink is Shah's Rose.

A lovely letter that would have been a sure prize winner had it mentioned blood.

 

Bloody hell! :P

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
