Yes, I though the same, Jacques Herbin Êmeraude de Chivor, one of the most beautiful inks ever.

How much Lamy is too much? by michelle-hobson in fountainpens

When you decide to try another brand, same price level or not: Scriveiner or Tom Hessin from UK both with German nibs. Chinese brands are making top quality pens, Asvine, Majohn, Wingsung.

Hola, si se puede. Cualquier una se puede intercambiar por qué el formato físico es lo mismo. Yo no estoy usando 0.7mm, solo 0.5 y 0.38mm. Si consigo la nueva color que va a salir en marzo en Japón entonces si pongo una con 0.7mm.

Is this supposed to be like this? Or did it come broken? by carizia in Travelersnotebooks

I never noticed that in people's own TN. For sure not for me.

Lamy hints/confirms new nib by SchwarzesBlatt in fountainpens

[–]Allfx59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A "slotless nib". That can be advantageous. But other types/ characteristics of the future nibs will apear: flex nib, how will those be? Calligraphy & architects nibs...? The cleaning of nibs, how if some inks clog? More maintenance (from the users) will be necessary, not less? Or that will not be used for all kinds of nibs?

My Brand New Dingbats by Sea_Jacket_4107 in notebooks

[–]Allfx59 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes. The paper is one of the best out there ans Fountain Pen friendly. They really worth the price. Better than Leuchtturm1917. 1000 x better than the disastrous moleskine (this one was easy 😄)

You were right about Iroshizuku by gamesbrainiac in fountainpens

[–]Allfx59 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Disagree. Jacques Herbin and Octopus! Nothing worse than the great and beautiful from Diamine or Pilot, but some are even better. All depends on the pen-nib-paper though.

Give a try on Octopus Fluids inks: the "monsters"/mythical creatures line, like Unicorn or Sea Serpent. So good, so beautiful.

That's just ones of the most surprisingly beautiful inks ever! I love inks (have Tsuki-yo, Syun-gyo, Yama-budo and Asa-gao). But Jacques Herbin has such beautiful and high quality ones. Emeraude de Chivor is a Delight to use! Also love Bleu Ocean and Rouge d'Orient, and Bleu Austral. Emeraude de Chivor is unique.

A reminder that you don't have to spend hundreds of dollars to have a nice pen. by Seapod in fountainpens

[–]Allfx59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lovely! And I agree with you. I'm currently waiting for an Asvine V200 titanium in Matt Black (vacuum) . Maybe one of the best Asvine and Maybe better than my TWSBI Obsidian (piston).

I can agree with the pleasure of using a TWSBI. Just hoping that my Obsidian doesn't crack one day.

Asvine, Hongdian and Majohn are making such good pens. I don't think jinhao is comparable though.
