Sailor's Full Ink Lines Including Shop Exclusives Compiled In A Post?

I'd buy Aegean Sea Blue just for the beautiful box.

 

I have to admit that's what I did. The Cycladic art reminded me of my trip to Santorini, one of the most beautiful places on earth.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

I did it too, with Ur Lapis. Now I look at it and keep asking one question every time: "What was I thinking?"

 

 

Anyway, too much regret. I was thinking of picking up a new bottle of ink and keep using that ink for every fill until I finish the bottle.

I selected 2 candidates: Cigar and Old Burgundy.

Can anyone give 2 more suggestions?

Mew, in all seriousness, I would *happily* take your bottle of Ur Lapis off your hands - I was using it this morning and I just love it, for some reason, but only had a sample of it. I keep kicking myself for not grabbing a bottle when it was available. I know owning such a boring blue must be a terrible burden for you, so if there's anything I can do to help, please let me know!

 

As for suggestions, how about Akaiwa Wine or Morita Green?

I would prefer to do it locally because sending stuff out is a pain. :P

 

I will consider shade green, but I only have one bottle of Akaiwa wine so won't do it with that. I also have Joyful-2 Honda Jyoshu.

Ah, you're just an old bluephobe ;-)

 

Anyway, how about Style Dee Doujima Ryokkin? A great green-gold-brown. Unless you want something completely different, in which case go wild and buy SankoDo Tokugawa Enbotan :-)

Probably. I just don't see myself inking same blue again and again. :P

 

I have styledee doujima gold, but only one bottle which I prefer to use sparingly (been more than an year since I bought it, and have used only one fill. It's in diamond bottle). Tokugawa Ebotan is a pink, which I don't have and won't buy.

Ah but Tokugawa is a very special 'pink' - more dark cerise/magenta with amazing shading, & green-gold sheen. It's luscious :-)

 

I haven't tried Oosu Red. Can you post a quick swab? :-)

Thanks, miujojo32.

 

Edit: By the way, Purple Heart and several other nice inks are available in addition to the ones linked in the previous post.

I've already collect the Gunma 17 color samples.

 

In early November, I'll get the other 4.(太陽系の惑星 and 宇都宮)

 

I'll post the color samples.

 

(BUT my color samples are not very GOOD XD)

We will all enjoy seeing those color samples. I like those inks, but they seem to want to vex us with a very minimal display of their appearance

Other samples

Oh. That Lilac looks quite nice with generous flow.

 

Thank you, miujojo32. Your color samples have been most helpful! :cD

I tried Purple Heart today. I was expecting something stellar, but this is underwhelming.

 

What's with the hype around this ink? :|
