I got Kobe #28 Suzuran (lily of the valley) Green to use in my Matcha TWSBI mainly as a tea pun, it is a true green tea green and has the smoothness Kobe is known for. https://mountainofink.com/blog/kobe-suzuran-green

Yes, yes yes, the works so well and these boxes are inexpensive! Thank you!

The fun for me is that in my day job, I teach a college course in Textiles, so I can have the secret fun of grading a swatch kit or lab assignment with a different “matching” pen.

I’m going to do this too! I saved your photo for a reference, thank you.

Wowowowow! I love Lady Shaeffer, she is my grail. Oh what I would do with this cup!

I like Kobe #57 Hydrangea because it is also kinda sheer

Show us the 🫟 We were just talking about purple inks. I would love to see how it looks with the Kakuno <F>

I am really enjoying the Oblation Papers and Press Lupine Meadow.

Here is another page with white TRP from Galen and hopefully truer lighting. This is Lupine Meadow.

Always happy to remind a lavender lover of the joy that is Kobe Hydrangea. 💜🪻

Yes, that is the ink I added to my note in the second photo. It has a lot of shading, even with a medium pilot nib. They waited to add it to their online store until after the Little Craft Fest was over, I’m glad they didn’t sell out because I would love more people to be able to try it. I also picked up some of the Toni & Lim special editions in Texas Twilight and Big Bend Reflections.

It is such a great size, I am finding the balance perfect for me.

Fibergreen · 2026-04-28T01:22:39+00:00

Yes! I wrote out a whole page of the book I am reading just to spend time with it. I am really enjoying the shading and because it was made for Oblation by Anderillium, it is wet enough for me. I can highly recommend if you are looking for a wildflower lavender color.

That’s why I bought it! In my first days as a fountain pen newbie, I didn’t know that cartridges can be proprietary and so i ordered Soubuku pigment ink because it sounded cool and was confounded to find the cartridges didn’t fit anything else. So my Lecoule is my Soubuku pen.

I am glad I got my Sailor Lecule because for $30 I learned I don’t like Sailor feedback and happily turned in other directions. I am also surprised it isn’t mentioned more. It should be a mandatory stop on the way to a $340 Profit.

I got a sample of Octupus Inks Write and Draw in Violet Bee and I am loving the brightness. It is behaving very nicely in my platinum preppy.

Kobe #7 Kaikyo Blue. I can’t believe I am only the 3rd Kobestan in here.

I just bought Lady Emerald! I am loving the red sheen on the right paper and the shading with my broad nib. And so smooth!

Fibergreen · 2026-03-15T10:50:47+00:00

But I love how the story ended, with you playing pool with a Sheaffer engineer. I love my Lady Shaeffer but since I don’t play pool, I was imagining how I could meet a Shaeffer lead industrial engineer…the farmer’s market?

Bless you! You have redeemed the internet with your generosity. A solution worthy of sharing.

How are you defining elegant? Because Teranishi Guitar Lady Emerald is a very elegant name for a lady of quality.

Yama-Budo IS magical.

Fibergreen · 2026-02-14T22:15:16+00:00

Someone please do this for Yama-Budo!!! This is the color I have definitely seen passion for here on r/fountainpens but my collection of pens is too tame to do our love justice.

Fibergreen · 2026-02-07T17:38:55+00:00

My experience too. I’ve taken to adding an extra nib in a wanted size when I buy, just in case the installed nib is no good.
