I purchased the Original Crown Mill Laid Paper after I'd done the review, so it wasn't taken into account, but there was some feathering on it.

Great review, thanks. Nice-looking colour. A bit too light with the fine nib, but really nice with the M. Looks like an ink that prefers the broader nibs.

Wonderful review. Thank you!

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

Oh, pretty! I didn't want a green ink, but reviews like this makes me re-think that decision X;D

It looks a lot like Caran d'Ache Delicate Green, but at half the price. :)

 

I almost put that in the review. They are very similar. Delicate Green is a bit lighter and little more yellow & I don't think it shades as well. I almost ordered a bottle of it before finding Green-Lime, but I'm glad I didn't.

I've been interested in maybe getting a bright, yellow-y green; this one looks good. I'll add it to my hmmm list.

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

Yes, I kinda like Delicate Green (and its shading), so you may save me that price too - thank you! (Though I kinda like the Caran d'Ache bottle, so I may have to buy some anyway (perhaps a different color).) :)

Your handwriting is lovely, looks so neat. :) Thank you for the review! I've learnt to appreciate such hues. I have Robert Oster's Jade and it is lovely even in my F/M nib.

      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
