What ink(s) are you waiting for in the mail?

My Iroshizuku Shin Kai just got here a week after the longest expected delivery time expired. It shades better than I was expecting, writes nice and wet and doesn't bleed or feather much, even in my Moleskine (mine seems pretty bleed/feather resistant compared to most), though it is more at home on Rhodia I think. It feathers a little on inkjet paper but I can't hold that against it. Nice match for my Lamy Studio with 1.5 mm cursive italic.

Murasaki Shikibu is also a flowering plant.. We have one in our yard.

That's nice. Thanks for the information.

Just received the following J Herbins:

 

Lie de The - I have lusted for this ink for quite a while, and it sure does shine and shade on Rhodia paper. On basic Staples copy paper it falls completely through. Bland and unsaturated to satý the least,

 

Perle Noire: I find Black inks as uninteresting as the next guy, but my dissappointment with Noodlers Dark Matter compelled me to try this one out, and what a treat! This is a true Black ink that fits my Sheaffer Legacy just fine for taking notes at Work. Lovely ink.

 

Eclat de Saphir: I´m looking for a substitute for Kon Peki, and as Sailor Sky High is unavailable, I looked towards EdS as a more saturated light blue ink. What an utter Waste. To me it isn´t a blue ink, but rather a purple ink leaning towards blue. I hate purple, so this one is going to get PIF´d

You're welcome. I'd send pics but it isn't in bloom and I can't post pics for some reason anyway.

Rouille de Ancre from Herbin. Though it is an obtainable ink (unlike most of the stuff we go for here---Ha ha ha on us) and some folks don't like it, I am having conniptions over thinking about putting it in a nice juicy Montblanc OB or M and writing a pile of thank you notes. I am so stoked.

Some noodlers Ottoman azure.

I like it, but I think I may need to dilute it a smidge.

 

Noodler's Ottoman Azure and Blue are very similar inks. I have, in the past had to dilute my Blue so that it dried on certain papers (like Nu: Elite) before the end of the century.

A couple of days ago, through the kindness of another FPN member, an absolutely gorgeous bottle of Iroshizuku Fuyu-gaki, arrived in our mailbox. Thank you! You know who you are :) :wub:.

 

And, just moments ago, Amazon delivered Levenger Gemstone Green for us, and Noodler's Blue Ghost as a birthday gift for my daughter. Not sure if there are any other orders waiting to arrive. I'll have to ask zwack.
