Bunch Of Crvs

[lgsoltek]

Thank you for reminding me that I need bottle of Yama-Dori... I think that this year I am collecting and next year I will have to review an ink per day.

 

Do you know any brick-and-mortar store in Paris that sells various brands of inks? I haven't found any, so most of my purchases were done online from the Netherlands.

The best are Mora and Palais du Stylo. The rest are usually more of the same... and there is no Diamine, R&K, De Atramentis, etc. to be seen anywhere, much less Robert Oster, Kwz, or other smaller brands. Most sell J. Herbin because it is in the same group than Clairefontaine who is an institution here.

 

Here is my list of what I found in Paris:

 

Mora

http://morastylos.com/accessoires/encres-speciales/aurora.html

* Aurora

* Caran D'Ache

* Graf von Faber-Castel

* Montblanc

* Pelikan

* Pilot Iroshizuku

* Platinum (only cartridges)

* Sailor

* Sheaffer

I was surprised not to see Waterman on the list since he gives cartridges of it away when you buy pens from Mr. Mora or perhaps it is just because I specifically purchased a Waterman Lady Agatha from him.

The family is an institution in town. He sells the pens that the family has been making for decades under the brand Oldwind, as well as Japanese and European brands. His collection of Vintage pens for sale is really interesting and a friend recently told me that he often has parts for sale if you ask (I'm considering nibs). Really worth going!

 

L'Ecritoire : they have their own exclusive inks. I recently purchased two that I need to review. They are a tad watery like J Herbin's classic inks but the shading on one called "Sucre Roux" (brown sugar) is superb and I really like the color of "Laurier" (laurel).

 

 

## Palais du stylo:

* Cross (only cartridges)

* Dupont (only cartridges)

* Faber Castell (only cartridges)

* Lamy

* Montblanc

* Montegrappa (only cartridges)

* Omas (only cartridges)

* Parker

* Pelikan

* Pilot / Namiki

* Porsche (only cartridges)

* Sailor (only cartridges and Jentle Blue, Black and Blue-Black /12... which is descent)

* Sheaffer

* Waterman

 

 

Skripta

Caran d'Ache

Graf von Faber-Castell

J. Herbin

Kaweco

Lamy

Pilot Iroshizuku

 

Other shops are:

 

Plume et Bille: Only has Caran D'Arche, Graf vin Faber-Castell and Pilot Iroshizuku

 

Grim'art only has J. Herbin and maybe Lamy (though they used to carry Sailor until a few months back)

 

Stylo city (boulevard St Michel) : but I don't know what's there today... just remember seeing Pelikan ink bottles in the shop window

 

Gilbert Joseph or Gilbert Jeune have ink. I used to buy mine there as a student but it's essentially cartridges (aka every French student's best friend).

OH MY, you two have been busy!

 

I have some CRVs sent to you two weeks ago but the letter was returned to me yesterday without reason... I think they mistook my address for yours and sent it back to me...

[amberleadavis]

Those bums!

 

I am still posting on the 366 ink thread with new stuff that has been sent to me.
