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

[Algester]

I have this ink (a bottle came with my Shuumi No Bungu Hako pen). It is an extremely close match for the more readily available Kobe #37 Island Blue. See my post #784 earlier in this thread, comparing the two swabs). Used in a pen it is almost impossible to differentiate between them.

though to be honest to my screen it kinda looks like Shousaikan's Seiran... but I'm not too sure... I can't get these inks because of the credit budget set on me :< I wish I could

[swanjun]

well Kanou town midnight and then Shioya Vintage Sepia came out not far from each other like 3 days...

 

They've released sets of two before, though, like 47-48 and 49-50. Or maybe Ur Lapis completes the trio.

Was #53 ever announced?

[Algester]

ok I just looked at nagasawa 6/27 Shioya Vintage Sepia is announced and maybe released today...

Note: Out of stock...

This is all starting to get a bit ridiculous.

 

Dithered in picking up some Bung Box Sapphire aka 'First Love' back in May, and missed out when it sold out in a matter of days. No matter I thought, as Bung Box is getting another shipment of Sailor inks at the end of July. And, granted, Sailor's exclusive inks are entirely hand mixed by just one person.

 

Checked back in with Bung Box yesterday to find out that their entire late July shipment from Sailor is already pre sold out. All of it. Every single ink.

 

Almost makes me think of putting my bottles of Sailor Cigar and Sailor 'Bug Green' on eBay just to see how high the bidding would go. Almost.

No Cigar here I'm afraid. I do however have a bottle of the almost as devine Brown Algae. Happy to send a sample to you.

Let me know.

[Algester]

Yes. PM me where you'd like me to send some to and I'll happily pop a little in the post to you.

 

(If I hadn't have fallen for Cigar like I did I would still have some of the sample a kind FPN member sent me to pass on to you. Sorry )

I'd be more than happy to send you a free sample of Cigar, but unfortunately am far away from my mixing equipment and vials ATM, enjoying the two months summer vacation respite from my uni students that very nearly makes up for my abysmaly low educator's salary.

 

Brown Algae is a close facsimile; only missing the sheen and chromatic, colour shifting properties of Cigar.

well with some hard news Sailor made an update concerning onnago-iro days

【女子いろdays】　一時販売を中止させていただきます。（2015.5.29）

There's always 'Fresh Oranges of Lake Hamana'. A more red, more vibrant version of Apricot. Looks like the freshly squeezed juice of blood oranges.

Or ... err ... it would be, if Bung Box wasn't sold out of it till at least probably September or October.

Wait, so onago-iro inks are no longer available. Damn. I should have gotten a few back ups while i could. (Sigh)

[migo984]

Kobe #51 Kanou-chou Midnight is gorgeous. Not the best pics I'm afraid. It's getting towards dusk & it's mid-winter here in Aus, so the light isn't the best, but you can see the sheen in the second photo.

 

 

 

 

[swanjun]

Oooh! Thanks so much for the picture.

[Algester]

ohhh

[Algester]

has anyone tried Pen and Message x writing lab x sailor Old burgundy?

[saskia_madding]

thanks for the picture of the new Kobe! I'll have to pick it up next payday.

 

 

Algester - I have. I kind of hated it. Bricky, burgundy red isn't my thing. Here's a picture:

Yes, it's one of my favourites. It shades beautifully. It is definitely more a dried wine-stain colour though. I think of it as my ink equivalent of Caput Mortuum artist pigment.
