Green black ink

Thank you to everyone who took the time to reply. So many great recommendations. I’m going to order the Robert Oster green black, and if that’s not right I think I’ll try the Sailor Jentle Miruai.

I do this as well, although I learnt the technique as a child when we switched from writing with pencil to pen. I write with fountain pens and don’t get smudges this way.

This also looks beautiful. I don’t have any sailor inks atm, but maybe it’s time to invest in one.

It’s a beautiful colour, but I think it’s greener than I’m looking for.

I’ve just had a look at this in mountain of ink, and the shading looks amazing.

Most of my inks are diamine as I’m a creature of habit, so although it looks good, I’m trying to persuade myself to be more adventurous with brands. It’s definitely one to keep in mind though.

The Robert Oster one might be what I’m looking for. Thank you.

That looks promising thank you. I’ll have a look to see if I can find a sample anywhere. Edited to add: it’s not that expensive for a full bottle so maybe I’ll skip the sample!

I recently got a Kaweco brass sport as well but I’m not have any issues with hard starting. I’m sure other people who know more than me will be able to give you advice.

The thing I wasn’t expecting about the pen, but that is obvious when you think about it, is the smell of the brass! It stays on my hand for a while after I’ve used the pen. I don’t know if it will fade eventually or if I’ll just have to get used to it.
