Thank you!

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.

I have never heard of MB Jungle - does this ink have another name?

MB Writer's Edition Rudyard Kipling - from 2019 but still available.

 

(edited, sorry - didn't spot the answer on next page!)

Hehehehe...and therein lies the rub!!
That's the same reason I'm still using "Vert Atlantide" and just skimming off the top without shimmer!!
A bottle of the MB ink is almost half my monthly allowance of "Fun Money"!!!

Save even more money and just buy a big bottle of Diamine Green Umber - very close in colour and a lovely ink to use, as well as being cheap as chips :)

Ooooh...Good suggestion, adding that one to the ink-list for August!
Thank you!

But does Diamine Green Umber have the same impressive level of water resistance as Vert Atlantide? I'm truly impressed by the latter, even though of course it isn't waterproof, and the green colour as well as the shimmer particles will come off with soaking, leaving very distinct and legible grey marks on the page. I think this ink was designed for writing in books to last long after sinking to the depths of the ocean.

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

Hmmm...I'll be watching this with interest.
Most Diamine inks wash right off...

A couple of drops of a Noodler's Polar Green will fix that. I recently filled a pen which had beheld your favourite Polar Green (if I recall well :D). Despite all the cleaning a reside was left. The hot Pink turned into a lovely purple, which was waterproof....

Not operationally, no.

No, Green Umber doesn't. But there are a couple of better value inks in a very similar colour area that do - both from De Atramentis: for a proper waterproof ink, their Document Grey Green is just lovely, and for a regular ink with very good water-resistance, Jane Austen is just a hint darker, but very beautiful.

Saw your review earlier this year and finally got a sample from a kind individual. My writing and ink don't seem as pretty as yours (I wish the shimmer were more visible!), but the colour is very calming. Thank you for the review!

Samples aren't great for inks with shimmer.  It's always a bit of a lottery as to whether you'll get much shimmer as it's hard to be sure to get enough of the particles into a vial.

      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
