Wow You're on a roll here :D Love your reviews and the sheening inks back to back :D I will admit this was my first sheening ink I ever bought and It holds a very special place in my ink collection. It's one of the few inks that I actually like the sparkle in.

You have been very busy. Thank you for sharing.

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

Thank you for your expressive review! I love Émeraude de Chivor! However, I would have wished that they would not have added the glimmer-stuff! I is so beautiful without it!

You have this beautiful ink in an M1000. Would all the shimmering additions create a problem in vintage pens? I would love to use it in my 1930s, 40s, and 50s Pelikans. The only J. Herbin ink I have ever used is the original Hematite Rouge. My pen still shows evidence of that.

You can leave out the shimmer by not shaking the bottle and just drawing the ink from the top :-)

 

I use this ink also in my vintage pens, without any problems.

 

What evidence did the in leave?

I would never use shimmer and glimmer inks in a vintage pen or in a high end fountain pen. Even not in a better standard pen. I use glimmer and shimmer inks in my Noodler's Ahab which is extremely easy to clean and in my Kaweco Sports which are also not complicated but after some time the glimmer stays in the feed! Of course the effect can be nice...

My Waterman Expert has deep etching in its nib, and deep recesses in its feed. All of these places are still red. I have not used it in the years since I soaked several days after having it filled with Hematite Rouge for several months. Loved the ink. It was stunning. But, it will take an ultrasonic cleaning to remove the red highlights.

Jup! Rouge hématite is the worst amongst all - and in my opinion a wonderful red, too - the 1670's inks.

Deleted because I found a better thread for my query. Sorry for not looking better before posting.

      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
