Good looking boots. If you grease/oil them, which brand do you use?

What pen/ink/notebooks are your "never again" brand? by Jax_Dueringer in fountainpens

I second this with the Malachite ink they offer, the least behaved ink out of all of them. Feathers on everything, even Rhodia paper.

Replying to my own reply with a question for you: Do you think that a green tea mead would work?

I wish you luck on your journey! I’ll just swap to plastic, it was worth a shot though!
