Robert Oster Summer Storm

Summer Storm doesn't get a lot of love, but if you're looking for a blue-grey (with a slight emphasis on the blue), you might consider it. Personally, I really enjoy it, but I like blue-greys, so I am biased in that. It behaves well, although it is on the dry side. It's dark enough to read without turning into black (a pet peeve). This isn't the perfect grey, but it's a nice color.

LOL.. This is my daughter's favourite ink.... She is 17 and enjoys sketching with it like you have no idea... :D

 

I personally think you need a broad wet nib to make it shine as a writing ink... But what do I know... I started using reading glasses a few months ago... :bawl: :bawl:

 

 

This is a gorgeous ink and a FANTASTIC ink if you are artistically inclined... :wub: :wub:

That does look interesting. Of course, it also looks a bit like Noodler's Blue Upon the Plains of Abraham on my screen (which may be *why* it's attracting me...).

Thanks of rhe review. I have a sample of this which I haven't tried yet, so if looks as if I might have to think about sooner rather than later.

Normally I agree with another member that describes the color rather than some fanciful name that tells me nothing but this time I digress. Summer Storm does recall memories of an impending summer storm and all that it portends and the color of the ink conveys those feelings by replicating the color of the sky.

Thank you for a nice review. Summer Storm on my short list

I love grey violets, and this is one of my favorites. I do consider it violet though, more so than my beloved 'violet pencil' Kyo No Oto Keshimurasaki, and also more saturated! Can appear grey for regular handwriting, but with ink and wash sketching all sorts of violets, blues and pink are released - yum!

I also love Scabiosa, Vivaldi and Kobe #10 Mikage Grey, but all of those have much more pink.

      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
