Lovely red. Bricky is exactly the right word. Victorian architecture! Thanks for the enticement!!

Nice .

Thanks for sharing.

It looks quite nice.

I have been using this ink in my aka tamenuri pens and it is a lovely match. The FC inks I have used have been a pleasure so far. Thr bottle has a good liner and is easy to fill large pens from.

A quick pick on a cloudy day. Sorry, not much sun here in San Francisco.

Interesting. It's got that weird dark edge effect to the lines that some of my favorite inks, like vintage Skrip Peacock and Diamine Tyrian Purple have (I think people are referring to that as "haloing").

Not sure I'm wild about the color. But then, I said that about the original formulation of Rouge Hematite, too (the version with the large gold flakes) -- I tried it mostly just to see what the fuss was all about. Then I found out....

So I won't say no to this one outright. Especially with those dark edgings....

Thanks for the review. And not. My wish list of inks to try just keeps getting longer and longer....

I am fond of reddish-brown and brownish-red inks. I picked up a bottle of F-C Urushi Red at the SF Pen Show, and it's been in a couple of my pens ever since - a Conway Stewart wood grain ebonite and a Scriptorium in Vesuvius ebonite.

 

I agree with the comments about the lovely behavior of all three of the F-C inks I have tried to date. I'm not quite ready to have Urushi Red replace Diamine Oxblood as my favorite ink for Aka-tamenuri pens, though.

 

Thanks for the review!

I just inked an wood grained ebonite pen tonite with another ink previously ordered, that arrived today; I was so excited to see this ink last nite that I flew to FC & ordered up a bottle after the review. NOW I know what the next fill will be for the pen I only filled today! It is nice to discover new inks & even more to read other persons opinions on same, so that I can be planning my next step!

 

Thanks to all of you for making this year something to look forward to.

This would make a lovely color for one of the unpolished Shu red Nakayas.

Not sure you want to see it -- it's a spreadsheet. The first row is headers, but then the rest is all inks, sorted by brand, and then which seller carries them (and if so, for how much). The current count (although that does include inks I've tried and want to get a full bottle of)? 215 inks....

You are all such a bad influence!

Now that's a list!!

[soydominique]

Oh, that haloing. Getting this immediately.

Does anyone else find this disappointing on Tomoe? For me it dries to a rather flat brown on it. Otherwise it's great.
