Thanks for the review.

Still trying to make up my mind about whether or not I like this yellow a green....

working my way through a sample now

 

awesome ink, well behaved, works even in my dry stubbed Baoer 388 (the green lizard one, of course)

 

thanks for the thorough review

I use it in whimsical cards and in regular rotation for my journal writing--it breaks up any dull expanse of prose

Great review of an ink that has been one of my favourites for several years. It has a lovely vintage (perhaps antique?) look on the page and, for me, works best from a pen with a generous Medium or Broad nib. I think that this can be seen from your lovely writing sample. The one thing that I would disagree with is that the colour is drab, the gold element is too bright for that - to my eyes at least.

 

Thanks again for an excellent review.

Yeah, the gold in this does for the green what the gold in Noodler's Golden Brown (which I also love) does for the brown.

Thanks for the great review!

 

I absolutely love Alt-Goldgrun. It's one of those inks that is very unique and catches the eye of even non-FP people.

So many inks, so little time...

      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..

      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
