Thanks for the good review. How would you compare it with Azure #5? I find #5 darker but dont' have #2 right alongside it (with same pen on same paper and all that...)

Thanks! I'd like to say -- and therefore will say -- that you are right on. My #5 is darker and greener than your #2 and resembles that which you labeled #4 above. Is that #4 above actually a #5?

No (at least, not according to the sample vials!). Here, #5 is on the lower left and #4 is on the lower right. The photo makes them look closer than they appear to the naked eye. In any event both are far greener than either #2 or #3. :)

Thanks again. I couldn't see "#5" anywhere at the bottom left but the swabbing -- that's just like the #5 I have. Good comparison of all four!

The #2 is very pretty, but I still favor the #3. My bottle (of #3) is from the first batch that Konrad produced, and it ghosts (shows through on the other side of the page). He reformulated it, but I haven't bought a bottle yet. I had planned to at Pen Show Poland 2015, but I ended up buying two bottles of iron-gall ink instead (turquoise and blue). (Laughing face.)

 

Thanks for the review! (The #4 is very pretty, too.)

Hi Lisa :) As far as I remember your #3 is the Blue #3, from the water resistant series, which is something different from Azure #3 from the standard series ;)

Ah... I thought the Azures were the reformulated Blues. Your blues and azures are so beautiful!

 

BTW, belated congratulations to you and Mr. KWZI! You were missed at Katowice, but everyone was happy for the reason. :-)

Thank you! :))

 

Btw, the names of blue shaded inks are confusing for many users, so the reformulated water resistant Blues will be reintroduced in the future with the new names I guess ;) Now we still test them and they are not offered. Let's hope we'll finish until the next Pen Show in Katowice ;)

      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
