Haha we are really inky twins! My New Year resolution is also 2 Sailor inks per month and I've already spent the quota for June! I'm waiting for an Onago-iro Honey (which I hope can make a nice substitute for Apricot which I've always wanted to own but never had the chance!) Apart from that I think I'm on hiatus for the moment. I've looked at some Kobe samples but they haven't made great impressions on me yet. What other Kobe inks do you own? Maybe I'll like them as well :D

Also I don't think you'll be disappointed with Entoloma virescens. It's quite a nice colour!

Haha I love that we have the same ink addiction pattern! :) The Onago Iro Honey looked amazing in Saskia's writing samples. I don't have too many Kobes yet; I have #7, #13, #14, and #37. The #7 is one of my favorite Sailors; it's got a generous flow, feels smooth, has loads of sheen but no nib dry out and has been really easy to clean. I def need to post a review of it when my class schedule quiets down. #14 I love when used in a wet pen where it becomes one of my all-time favorite blues. #13 I like a lot and has great shading but is a color I don't use too often . And #37 I don't like so much... :P I'm happy to hear you like Entoloma Virescens; I'm even more excited to try it now!

I'm considering this limited purple. The box is very attractive.

Huh? ... Yama-Guri is brown... :huh:

 

 

 

 

Edit: Ooops... just realized you meant Cigar and not Sailor Monet above.

This is one that I don't think I will be getting, so I would love to see a review if you get one!

I'm still saying I may have been really partially responsible for this "mess" :3

If you are responsible for us discovering these great inks then I THANK YOU!

 

First I received four of the Bung Box inks, then Cigar & just HAD to order two more Bung Boxes when I saw Dandyism & Ink of the Witch were available at Vanness.

 

So thank you for your part to make us aware of these inks!

Finally, a bottle is on the way to me so I can now ditch all my attempts at mixing this remarkably complex ink.

Sadly it was the last bottle and my source swore me to secrecy.

Sorry.

 

(Happy to send you a sample when it arrives. PM me details)

Saves me the trouble of asking for your source. :P

 

Genuinely sorry.

 

I asked

 

"Thanks so much. You are a star.

Would you like me to publicise this to friends on FPN? I know a few are in love with this ink"

But was asked not to.

You asked, on our behalf, if you could note the source ( you were certainly not obligated to ask)--for that, I'm grateful. :notworthy1:

Enjoy the bottle and love it a little extra (if possible) for those of us still left pining still.

Is it possible that your source might be the same as my source? Patiently waiting. B)

No. You're source is a different source, but I've a feeling they might be getting it from my source. :unsure:

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
