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.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
