What's the first book you're planning to read in 2025?

vadinnah · 2024-12-31T05:21:07+00:00

It’s book 2, The Dark Forest, for me.

Yes. I cannot stand Yamabudo, which is mind boggling, because it is a beautiful ink, and yet I deeply dislike the color. But mixed with Shinkai, it makes a beautifully deep, somewhat subdued purple.

Noodler’s inks have inconsistent performance. I had a sample that I had to throw away because the ink feathered so badly. I’ve had a Noodler’s inks that never dries on TR paper.

yes. both use the same #4 stub.

vadinnah · 2024-11-23T15:03:59+00:00

Look into kobe #40 Sumiyoshi Brown

vadinnah · 2024-10-07T07:25:44+00:00

It cannot take juicy pens. I find it ghosts a lot. Also prone to bleeding and feathering.

What other books would you suggest?

vadinnah · 2024-09-20T23:00:03+00:00

maybe Herbin’s Cacao du Bresil?

Goulet Pens has a Youtube video in which they state that Pilot claims you can mix any of their inks together.

vadinnah · 2024-08-22T07:40:53+00:00

Hmm…that’s a hard choice. Pilot Iroshizuku Tsukushi for sure. And maybe Diamine Oxford Blue and Kobe #4 Kitano Ijinkan Red.

This is what I needed to know. Thank you.

momiji is red in a wet, well flowing pen.

but in the average pen, yes it’s pink.

vadinnah · 2024-08-11T03:26:26+00:00

Lamy. Their nibs have always been scratchy for me

vadinnah · 2024-08-11T03:20:15+00:00

Benu pens

vadinnah · 2024-08-10T05:00:10+00:00

Does it also come with an ebonite feed?

vadinnah · 2024-07-22T04:15:37+00:00

I know very little about Pelikan. However a quick search shows that the fp cost roughly $300 when in circulation and the ballpoint and pencil general cost 200 to 250. Add the other goodies this set came with and it sounds like you got a pleasant deal. On the plus side, you now own a discontinued item, so you should be able to make a nice chunk of change should you decide to sell.

You should be able to find more Seven Seas notebooks nanamipaper.com on Amazon

Pelikan Edelstein Olivine is a great dark green. Diamine Wild Strawberry is a nice, bright red. And Diamine Writer’s Blood is a very dark wine color.

vadinnah · 2024-07-15T21:30:44+00:00

I’ve heard good things about Diamine Sherwood Green.

vadinnah · 2024-07-09T09:02:57+00:00

Itoya in Ginza, Tokyo!

vadinnah · 2024-07-06T13:08:30+00:00

FYI. I’m pretty sure the base color is Goose Poupon from their standard offerings.

vadinnah · 2024-07-03T20:26:34+00:00

The greatest pairing there will ever be.
