J. Herbin 30 Ml Massdrop


HollyGolightly

Recommended Posts

Just wanted to let everyone know there's a massdrop going on for 5 bottles of J. Herbin Ink for those who might be interested! Direct link is here. I think I'll probably participate once I figure out 5 colors I'd like.

 

Note: On the site they mention a handful of colors not available for the drop. This might be a dealbreaker for some.

Thanks for the heads-up, Holly!

 

Yeah, they've already sold out of a lot of the colours I was interested in.

Same, I'm trying to think of alternatives. I was really wanting to try out Lie de Thé as a match for a pen I have coming my way soon. C'est la vie.

I'd loooove a sample of it! We can swap too, actually if there's any of my 5 you'd like to try. So far I have these picked out:

 

Color Choice - Bottle #1: Bleu Nuit

Color Choice - Bottle #2: Bouquet d'Antan

Color Choice - Bottle #3: Larmes de Cassis

Color Choice - Bottle #4: Cafe Des Iles

Color Choice - Bottle #5: Vert Reseda

 

Full disclosure though, I may change #3 or 4 sometime between now and when the drop ends. I keep wavering.

Sounds good. I have Lie De Thè, Gris Nuage, and a bunch of sample vials sitting at home. Drop me a PM and I'll get it in the mail sometime this week.

 

Cafe Des Iles could be shiny, if you keep that 'un I'd like a sample. ^_^

Just my luck - the one day I don't check Massdrop (latest obsession) and I missed the all colors I wanted! Ended up with Bleu Myosotis, Rouge Caroubier, Vert Olive, Vert Reseda and Violette Pensee. Regretting some of those choices at the moment as I placed the order well after midnight last night without checking the reviews first, but overall enjoying J Herbin's less saturated inks in large, wet stubs on tomoe paper lately so hopefully this will work out ok.

Which inks did you originally have your sights on?

That's the combo I'm hoping for :)

"I have nixed all Noodler's inks in large part because of their feel, but also their behavior, etc. When I put Iroshizuku or Sailor ink into my pens, it's like the ink, pen, and paper are having a 3-some with smooth 'n sultry 70's jazz playing in the background." ~ Betweenthelines

Guess mine are on the container coming over from France since I haven't received a shipping notice yet. I'll hang on, I think, rather than request a refund. I can be patient.

Mine turned up this week. Not sure if it has to do with when I signed up or not but I'm sure yours are on the way soon!

It would be interesting to know who was responsible for the long delay. At least we got a partial refund, making it an even better deal.

      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
