I just received a sample of R&K Fernambuk. I like it, but it's not saturated enough for my retina searing tastes. I've also gotten a stash of Robert Oster that I'm inking up when I'm done typing.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

You got a bottle of Fukuro for $40!??!!

You guys are making me look bad. I live here in Japan and can't get any more of Fukuro! Not even for myself.

I was surprised too! But I did have to pull in a favour....... and I'm rapidly running out of those...... :-)

3 beautiful & well-behaved Noodler's, & 3 gorgeously refined Iroshizukus sated me for awhile as I first dipped my toes into the inkwell. A couple of days ago I waded deeper. During the next couple of days, beginning tomorrow, the friendly postal will deliver to my door:

Mont Blanc Corn Poppy Red

Bung Box Light Green Soup (4 ml sample X 2)

Diamine Ancient Copper

J Herbin Lie De The' (10 ml)

J Herbin Cacao du Bresil (10 ml)

Lamy Dark Lilac

Sailor Jentle Yama Dori

Chesterfield Archival Vault

Architekt Salmon

Chesterfield Zircon

Chesterfield Mahogony

 

I really, really have my eye on Mont Blanc Irish Green. I need that color :D

Some smaller bottles, trying to control the growth of the collection that way...

 

Diamine Twilight and Sapphire Blue (30 ml)

Iroshizuku Ama-Iro, Fuyu-Gaki, and Syo-Ro (15 ml)

 

I'm tempted to actually measure these, cause the Diamine bottles sure don't look twice as large in volume (though the little glass Iro bottles are kind of thick walled I guess).

I know, right!! Shhhh, don't tell Iroshizuku - their 15 ml bottles last and last ;)

Sankodo Nishikisan is one of my very favorites.

Okay, based on recommendations that I "need" this ink, I purchased Lamy Dark Lilac.

Lol, I did the same thing, even though the color didn't really speak to me based on pictures alone. Maybe we'll love it??

Ok, I am, as you know, mostly a Blues person, but Peters of Kensington have it available for AU$14, but still out of stock for the Safaris. Should I go for it?

I'm thinking that it will be similar enough to other dark purples (like the MB Lavender or Violet) that it's not really a "need" but you may need Oster School Blue.

I feel like I should do a comparison, MB Violet / MB Lavender / PR Purple Mojo / PR Purple Ebony and Pelikan Amethyst. I'm not going to do the comparison, but I feel like I should.

I do have the Oster School Blue. Justifiably, it gets taken to work at the Department of Education. It simply needs a dryish pen.

Lamy Dark Lilac, Private Reserve Avocado, Architekt Herbes alla Roma, Chesterfield Turquoise & Antique Crimson. With over 30 colors of ink, like Fabienne, I also need another bottle of ink like a hole in my head. Again the FPN enablers at work (LOL)!
