Pensei Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I thought you might be amused that after all this time, I finally succumbed to these reviews and got this mysterious ink. All the raves are well-earned. Link to post Share on other sites

amberleadavis Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 You have fallen deep into the inky well. Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

bluebellrose Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) sigh, Sailor's naming scheme doesn't really make sense. Or it could be a double pun. because it's a dark brown. At first glance I get the meaning earth use from the seperate meanings in Chinese. Edited April 12, 2019 by bluebellrose Link to post Share on other sites
A Smug Dill Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I'm afraid Sailor doyou capability as a 'cleaning ink' is a bit overstated. I tried to remove a spot of blue stain (from Montblanc Homer Greek Blue, I think) from an expensive demonstrator by leaving that spot 'soaked' in doyou — and also writing with the ink in that pen — for 48 hours and it didn't seem to have done anything to remove or lighten that blue stain. I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct for valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here. Link to post Share on other sites
Intensity Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) That's good to know, I was curious about the cleaning. Anecdotal evidence, and difficult to get ink anyway, but Lamy Petrol really cleaned out the ink window in a vintage Montblanc 252. Petrol Sat in that pen for a couple of weeks with occasional writing. There were dried in lines and dots that I couldn't remove with anything. Maybe you can try keeping Doyu in your pen for a longer period of time. I also like soaking in J Herbin cleaning solution (buying from European vendors, it's quite reasonably priced).

twigletzone Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Does anyone know if the Shikiori Doyou is the same formula as the Jentle one? I'm curious about the ink both because the colour klooks gorgeous and for the cleaning properties, but the Jentle version doesn't seem to be around any more, I can only see Shikiori.

I think it’s the same ink, just different packaging. All my inks, with ink splash and links to my reviews Link to post Share on other sites
GreenMountain Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 One of my favorites. Thanks for bringing it up. To me it looks grey-brown in my fine pens, which I like a lot as dark brown on its own is nasty! Athena Sepia comes to mind, although that writes as smoothly as Doyou.
