Thanks for posting this. Oxblood and Noodler's 'Antietam' are my favorite reds, deep enough to take the edge off. So slow to dry, though.

 

PS - "The quick brown fox" is for TYPEWRITERS!

One of the best inks.

 

Thanks for this review!!

I bought a pen from Goulet recently and just on a whim I clicked a bottle of Oxblood into the order and am ever glad I did.

I really love this ink.

A perfect marriage of red and brown.

I think it will be a mainstay for me.

Thanks for the review.

The texture (for lack of a better word maybe) of the ink is outstanding for me.

Good to be reminded of this awesome red. It has got to be one the the best named inks I've ever encountered....

 

.....and I put it too good use last year: venting when my CC # was stolen (yes I actually used the card in question to work out my aggression)

Good one. I tend to use "Foxy diva Jennifer Lopez wasn't baking my quiche" - but for testing typewriters. I feel confident that if a pen can form one letter, it can form the others.

It is a fun ink. Used it for a piece of calligraphy. It is the old medical education motto of 'see one, do one, teach one' in Latin.

Wonderful! That was our motto all through med school and residency.

See one, do one, teach one...and how very true that is!

Thanks, glad you liked it. I was trying to make a point with the blood drops that the motto focuses on the learner, but not so much on the means of learning (ie. on people, spilled blood, etc.).

I love Diamine Oxblood. As someone else said, a perfect brown red. It's one of the few inks that are really 'bloody'. It doesn't shade but it's really rich and gives my notes a dangerous edge!

I love the shade of Diamine's inks!!!
