After I review "R&K - Sepia" I'll know whether I get a bottle of that...or a bottle of this.

Thank you! I love these reviews.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Thanks for the review, @Detman101!  Glad you've found an ink that performs perfectly for you and fits in one of your color niches. :D  Always nice to find one of those.  I'll have to add this to my list of inks to try.

Nice colour and excellent review :thumbup:

Love your writing sample and looking forward to your R&K sepia review :)

Hey hey!! Good to hear from ya! :)  
I'm looking forward to the R&K Sepia review as well. I've got to work through this 2ml fill of GOGUNG first hehe...Enjoying every minute of it so far.

Thank you! This is soooo much nicer than "Cacao Du Bresil". I have been using a sample of "Sumiyoshi Brown" in lieu of the ink-mix that I'd been making myself to get that Grey-Brown, but this "Gogung" is sooo much better lubricated than Sumiyoshi brown in my dry pen...and much more grey.

Thanks for showing us this one. I can't get enough of taupe/grey-brown inks and I like this one because it leans so far towards grey. 

 

(The Meat Puppets album this song is from - Meat Puppets II - is one of my most-played in the 1980s, along with early albums from the Replacements, the Minutemen, Husker Du, Soul Asylum, Squirrel Bait, and REM. In fact, I will now certainly listen to it today!)

WOOHOO!! Awesome!
I've been listening to the Nirvana version of "Lake of Fire" for like...the past week, for some reason. I'll check out the Meat Puppets version today as well!
Glad you like the ink, I am so very focused on finding the perfect "Taupe" ink right now.

This "Gogung" actually looks a lot like a mix that I used earlier this week.
It was a 1:1 mix of "Penbbs - Guilin" and "Herbin - Cacao du Bresil" (CDB)
The only downside to that ink mix was that it didn't really MIX...there was a distinct separation between the two inks in the pen when left to settle.
Guilin floating on the top...a mix of the two in the middle layer...and CDB on the bottom.  Having to shake up the pen every time before writing was not kewl.

So there was my discovery/lesson on ink density and why finding an ink that is formulated properly is the easier way to go...lol.

From my point of view, there is no perfect Taupe ink. Best to have a variety so there will be at least one that fits your current mood/inclination/gut instinct/whatever. If that means having to have multiple pens inked with various taupes, then so be it - just get a few more pens. :thumbup:

That's a very good point.
I'd like to have a range of greys...
Brown-Grey in warmer and cooler tones

Green-Grey in warmer and cooler tones

Blue-Grey in warmer and cooler tones

 

That's at least 6 different inks right there...

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
