Noodler's Zhivago

[Lee]

I purchased Noodler's Zhivago last week and to say I love it is an understatement. I find it 'easy on my eyes' for some reason. I enjoy looking at it. Sounds crazy, eh? I've been journalling with it using a Rotring Core fine nib and couldn't be happier.

Bryan, thanks for that look at Zhivago. That's the first pic I've been able to see the green tint in. As I read down your post, I realized why -- BB nib!

Thanks, Bryan. Like Southpaw, this is the first time I've been able to detect the green tint to the ink that everyone mentions. It is a nice, rich looking color.

 

Best, Ann

I have several pens filled with Zhivago. I love this ink.

I can notice the green when I write a paragraph with Pelikan black and then use the Zhivago after. It`s a remarkable ink as has been mentioned in previous reviews.

Your scan, as SP says, with that BB nib shows the green better than my F review back a while ago. I can see the difference when compared with plain Black and Aircorp Blue-Black but they have to be side by side with my F nib. That BB really showcases the very thing that I love about Zhivago.

 

Well done, my man! :bunny1:

Thanks for the recent ink scans, here and elsewhere, Bryan! That Zhivago is an interesting colour...I like my blue-black Quink but this green-black shade is intriguing....

As well Zhivago is semi-water resistant. I put a scan up in another threads that shows the green part of the ink washes away but the black remains even under full immersion. That's why it has become my standard envelope ink & it's the only Noodler's color that I have two bottles of.

Kurt,

 

If you fancy a change at some point, Noodler's Red-black works the same way, the red washes away, leaving a seemingly bulletproof black behind it.

Was your scan showing Zhivago's water resistance here on FPN, Kurt? I must have missed it. My water test of Zhivago and several others is here: 4 Ink Water Test

Zhivago fan here as well. After buying too many darn inks over the past year, this would be my desert island ink (you know, when you're stuck on a desert island and you can have only one ink...)

 

Seriously, it's elegant, understated, and I am so bored with having to use black for official documents, but Zhivago can get away with it. And it's near-bulletproof as well.
