Interesting.  I checked and Noodler's use the -off ending (though the label appears to be almost entirely in Russian, the website swatch card has it in English with -off).  Of course, there are some folks who spell tsar as czar, and that's just idiotic, the sound and spelling in Russian is ts.

да, да, товарищ. I wonder what will happen when I get around posting Rachmaninoff ink review

The review and following comments are very helpful. I've just unboxed my new M205 Rose Quartz FP ("M" nib) and the accompanying bottle of ink.  The ink is pale and dry on Exacompta Bloc FAF paper. It shows a little more depth (but still seems quite dry) on Harphia planner paper. 

 

As others have noted, this ink will likely be consigned to the occasional special use for an accent here and there (maybe for annotating documents if it photocopies well?).  I don't see it as a candidate for regular use for note taking, correspondence, etc.

I suspect that anyone who uses the older British-English spelling of the Russian word for ‘emperor’ may be doing so in order to reflect its etymology.

 

‘Caesar’ ➡️ ‘Kaiser’ and ‘Caesar’ ➡️ ‘Czar’, then ‘Czar’ ➡️ ‘Tsar’ in Russian pronunciation/spelling.

 

Of course, the people who still write it as ‘Czar’ may just be stubborn/ornery old stuck-in-the-mud Brits who are too full-of-themselves/bloody-minded to respect how the Russians pronounce/spell their word 😉
