Iroshizuku - Fuyu-Syogun (Old Man Winter) - CRV - Group Review - 2015-02

The Iroshizuku Group Review color for February 2015 is Fuyu-Syogun ”Old Man Winter”. It is a cool grey, reminding me of the endless grey skies of the Seattle winters I grew up with.

Please post your reviews and scans of the ink in this thread.
If you want to a partner for a Co-Razy View (CRV) of this ink, please write it up and mail it to Lou Erickson. (PM for the address.) If you want to do a Co-Razy View on your own, please do! Other reviews are welcome, too.
NOTE: I have a new address as of January! If you have sent me things in the past, please PM for the new address - the old one will stop forwarding eventually.
You can look at the full description of the Iroshizuku Group Review to see how this should work and what we’re doing.

Thanks to Rachel Goulet, who gave permission to me to use their beautiful product photo and swab.
More thanks to Amberlea who gives so much of her time to herding these inky kittens.
Please PM me with any questions. I'll admit this month's ink does little for me, yet I know there are people who adore it. Show me what I'm missing! :)

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

Didn't I send this letter to you for a CRV?

There's a good chance, and a good chance that letter, along with the rest of the contents of my desk, are in a box. Somewhere in my house. And as soon as it surfaces, I'll reply.

 

I'm embarrassed that I've gotten things like this put off from the move, but I'm more wondering what I did with my W-2... :)

 

I put this ink in a narrower, wetter nib and it comes up darker, which I liked. Pelikan 140 for the win.

This looks like a nice bluish grey. Does anyone know if the colour is similar to MB Midnight Blue?

Would that be Midnight? If so, the MB is much darker and more intense.

I got a CRV from Stonezebra, and contrasted it with two other grays:

My Stormy Gray really blobbed gold. Maybe something went a little wrong with the cheap, no-name pen.

I remember Fuyu-Syogun's easy use and blue undertone. Mayyybe another sample, or a bottle....

 

At any rate thanks to Stonezebra for the CRV and Lou for setting this up!

Go for the bottle! Glad you enjoyed it. Nice contrast between the 2 colors, the PIFS really shows off its blue tendencies next to a true grey.

      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
    • adamselene
      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
