It's May! Pick an ink that has the letter M in the name!

 

As usual, don't forget to share with us your choice of ink, your writing, drawing, doodling or anything with the ink in this thread. You can take a photo, make a scan, or even better, write letters and CRV reviews (what is a CRV?) and mail them to the many ink pals here. You are welcome to check back on this thread even when we've gone past this week.

Click here to read more about this community project. Links to the two previous links can be found there too.

Next week: Last But Not Least

All my inks, with ink splash and links to my reviews

I may have found just the right match to the Rhodia Orange:

I love that colour, but I can't see I'd ever use it in actuality!

I know what you mean. it's in that range of color that looks great as an accent or complementary color for emphasis, but not as much for extended text:

Hahaha! Thanks HalloweenHJB. I was just messing about really, but I agree, It is a beautiful blue.

I do. :lol:

I think the reason I love Med blue so much, is that it genuinely reminds me of holidays in Corfu when I was considerably younger, so nostalgia probably plays its' part.

The water around Corfu is indeed THAT colour, and it is the most beautiful place I have ever seen.

Ahhhhhh! The memories.........well those that I CAN remember. :lticaptd:

Ahhh! The old Budgie Smugglers eh!

 

I find that now that I have reached a certain age the Mankini provides a bit more support, and the open backed nature of said budgie smugglers leaves ones' blue derriere susceptible to somewhat uncomfortable sunburn. ;)

I'm not a fan of this color, but the fast dry time is remarkable. It's not a fan of water though... no surprise there!

OK, I made my mind up, after much meditation and mulling. Robert Oster Spearmint was the 'winner'.

      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

      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
