Graf Von Faber Castell Hazelnut Brown


Montblanc owner and lover

Recommended Posts

Here is (if my picture show...) a little review (my first one) of the new Graf von Faber Castell ink: Hazelnut brown,selled in 75ml inkpot for 30€ so in a range of price comparable to the iroshizuku (less expensive tough).

Oh euuh sorry for my awful handwriting,i wrote this at 2 AM in my bed and i'm a lefty so....If needed ask me and i'll type the text.

Nice review! :-) That brown is exactly what I would expect from something called hazelnut. It would be interesting to see how it does in a flex pen, since I think that really tends to bring out the shading in any ink.

I like that shade! The only brown I have right now is some Private Reserve Sepia.

Ditto on the expected color of an ink named Hazelnut. Great first review! Thank you.

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

Crass, looks almost like a historical manuscript number. E.g. like Noodler's Galileo Manuscript Brown (an FPN exclusive to be sure but I don't know if it's still available).

Hello. Just the colour I was trying to describe. I tried mixing my M Blanc Toffee w/ a bit of distilled H2O, but just could not pin it down. Thank you so much, LeRoy

Thanks for the review, and a great first one at that. Been debating between getting a bottle of this or Montblanc Toffee Brown - might go with the MB first, but will definitely get a sample of Hazelnut.

      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
