This one is not for me (especially after the comparison with Diamine Kelly Green, one of the first greens I ever tried).  Just too eye searing for me, I suspect. 

It's OK, Ruth, we'll use up your share. ;)

Yowza!  That is SOME green.  It really does look lime-esque, too.  But I have soooo many inks.  It makes me wish I had gone the samples route exclusively, but noooo, I hadda have bottles.

 

Thanks for the review!  👍🏻

My latest ebook.   And not just for Halloween!
 

My other pen is a Montblanc.

:)  Maybe a Bob Ross -sized paintbrush is in order?

I didn't really think buying her 50 or so pens implies a guarantee of lifetime after-gift service for everything.

More excuses to fuss about with pens is a win in my book.

 

My wife has finally found a pen and ink of mine that she likes. Lamy Al Star with Pousierre de Lune.

 

I write very little, and always have 4-6 pens on the go.

 

She apparently writes a lot; I'm having to refill her pen every 2-3 days.

I used the somewhat similar MV Key Lime last night for the first time, then dumped the remainder back in the bottle when I got home from work.. Nice color, very 'cheerful', just not something I would use with any regularity. But I knew that going in and, like you, I have soooo many inks.

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

Here's the line width measurement. The line is one of those used for dry time.  Magnification is 100x.  The grid is 100x100µm.  The scale is 330µm, with eleven divisions of 30µm each.  The line width for this ink is roughly 300µm.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
