It has been many years since I posted any reviews. It is about to change. This community has given me so much that I find it only fair to post some reviews and it will give me an excuse to play with my pens too! :)

 

I bought this bottle from La Couronne du Comte. Very fast shipping via DHL and bam, i get charged duties. In any case, one of my favorite ink is ST Dupont Violet which has good flow, lubrication and water resistance. I thought this ink would be all that! NOPE!!

 

The packaging is this cheap black cardstock. The only good thing about this purchase is the inkwell which is very nice. Not very convenient for refilling pens because it is so shallow but it does have a good presence and quite nice to look at!!!

 

I don't recommend buying this ink unless you use it in a broad nib with a generous inkflow.

Thank you or the review. That's a nice looking inkwell and ink. It reminds me of Noodler's Polar Green, though it doesn't shade.

Hooray!  And thank you! :)

 

More nice shading, and you're right - cool bottle.  But the color is too ordinary a green for my tastes.  Still, enjoyed your review and looking forward to more. :D

Ordinary? Not murky enough? :D

The packaging made me expect a Kelly Green and it seems to be more of an Emerald. I wonder who makes if for them?

It looks a bit on the minty side to me, for some reason.

Exactly.  It reminds me of the "Green" Crayon.  The color a kid would choose for grass.  Waterman Harmonious Green.  That sort of color.  Ever since I tripped and fell into the murk, such colors have no appeal to  me...  :blush:

      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
