This one is stunning with your penmanship. Though, you make every ink look pretty.

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

Normally this is not a color I like. But this one looks pretty. Thanks for the review. And not....

Thanks for the great review, and nice penmanship!

 

 

I wonder how it compares to Diamine Oxblood or Red Dragon...

I was looking for a comparison with KWZ Maroon #1. It looks darker than Maroon #2 on the colour chart. Has anyone compared both side by side please?

 

I'm sorry that I don't have either, or I would have been able to compare them next to Mb Shakespeare.

That is a gorgeous red. Reminds me of... what is that Diamine red...? Monarch something.... Once up on a time, I very much enjoyed using that ink. And Maroon #2 reminds me of it. Very nice.

Monaco Red? If my memory serves me correctly that one looks more "brick".

I really enjoy this very dark red. I like KWZI Maroon (#1?) also-both are rich, saturated dark reds that seem well behaved-almost a toss-up for me to choose between them. For me, Maroon 2 has the slightest edge on lubrication, and Maroon (#1) seems a hair darker to me. Both are lovely and I’m glad to have samples of both.

This is quite a blast from the past. I bought this ink after reading this review back when it was written.

      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
