Sailor Jentle Ink: Drizzle Rain.

 

The seller of this ink is very good with words. He certainly gets an A+ for salesmanship. The English translation of this ink describes the atmospheric colour associated with raining, which is usually dark and gloomy. Calling this ink "Drizzle Rain" is like the people calling resin, "Precious Resin." Such a unique pairing of words requires a special fountain pen for the review. lol

A lovely ink and beautiful handwriting as well if I may add.

"Let us cross over the river and sit in the shade of the trees." Final words of General 'Stonewall' Jackson (d.1863) when killed in error by his own troops at the battle of Chancellorsville.

Thank you for the scan.

 

You know what? This ink looks similar to the bespoke Diamine Amazing Amethyst. That saves me some money ...

Reminds me of Cd'A Storm, in both the color and the name :) Thanks for the review -- love your handwriting, and I find the Asian characters to be a very interesting touch (Chinese? Japanese? Other? I don't know...but they are very cool :D )

How did you get a bottle of this so early? I'm a dealer, and I don't have it yet!

 

:)

 

Thanks for posting.

 

I purchased the ink from a seller in JAPAN. The internet has no boundaries. :)

This looks like a wonderful color--thank you for introducing it here. I hope it becomes available in the US soon.

Bundle with something else. You also need one (or both) of the Kiwaguro inks, and there is the Hearth red.

Well I hope you can appreciate the things I do to take a hit for the team. :)

 

To me the shipping is pocket change. I used to be a Forex trader, so my risk tolerance is much higher than most people. Yes, I'm risk taker. You can easily waste that $13 eating lousy deep fried wings at your local bar. :) That's my 2 cents on the shipping.

I like your attitude Signum!

If it was about saving money we'd forget about fountain pens and write with disposable rollerballs instead.

Added to my list. I love the color. I've tried a sample of caran d'ashe storm and it was too light to me, I like that this appears darker and more saturated.
