I feel like now's a good time to mention that there will be a disruption in my ink review schedule. I have used up my reserve of reviews and the family health issues I think I hinted at a couple weeks ago are only worse. It could be a month or more before I put out another review. Sorry about that. :(

 

I'll miss the reviews (and the story!), but mostly I'm sorry about the family health issues.  Will be praying they are all resolved in good ways, and for you as you help care for your loved ones.

Sorry to hear about the family issues, but thank you for the review.

It's very odd -- the close up images looked more cerulean blue, but the full written images when enlarged) made the ink look a bit more green leaning a turquoise than described (at least to my eye).  And this was for both the scan and the photo image.

ETA: In Misfit's photo, the color -- as least on my screen -- looks very similar to Edelstein Topaz (which I have in the M205 Blue Marbled, M nib at the moment).

Hope all goes well for you and your family.  You will be in my prayers.

Thank you, Ruth!  (Sorry, missed your reply earlier.)  You're very welcome.  As to the color of the ink - yeah, the differences from picture to picture are very annoying.  I would describe this as a blue-leaning turquoise.  The green is not evident except in comparison to other inks - FWIW.

      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
