Today we have a great guest post that takes a look at the experience of using fountain pens for lefties. It was written by friend of the blog and prolific left handed wrist watch blogger at The Wrist Watch Review and A Blog toWatch, Patrick Kansa (@abtw_patrick). Many thanks to Patrick for providing this view that as a right handed writer I could never provide for our great readers here. I think you its a great read regardless of which hand you write … [Read more…]
Noodler’s Q Eternity Blue Black (via Goldspot) is part of their fast drying inks that takes pleasure in mocking the questionable Federal Reserve policy of “printing” excess currency in attempts to help stimulate the economy, known as Quantitative Easing. The spawn of this name for the ink comes from the fact that there seemed to be a never ending current of these QE events that were given names to reflect their chronological occurance over time. It all … [Read more…]
Nothing is more fun for this blog than when we get to abuse office supplies and push them to their limits. In the past we have cooked and frozen multiple pens, and today thanks to the folks from MassDrop, we finally got to freeze some ink! Although you cant really tell from the picture above, that is a bottle of Noodlers Polar Black Ink, which is designed to be freeze resistant, mostly for shipping purposes. Although the most recent “drop” at MassDrop … [Read more…]
A while back the nice folks from Goulet Pens sent us a few items free of charge for review, so today we are looking at the second of those items which is Noodler’s 54th Massachusetts Fountain Pen Ink. The unique ink is named after the first all African American regiment in the Civil War that fought for equal pay as compared to their white counterparts. Its a great looking blue black ink, so without further ado lets jump into our Noodlers 54th … [Read more…]
The Organics Studio line of fountain pen inks was new to me a few weeks ago when I saw it on the Goulet Pens website, and with such interesting names I decided to grab a few bottles. The first ink we will take a look at is from their “Masters of Writing” series of fountain pen inks. The Walt Whitman Leaves of Grass ink is very earthy looking in that it has a grayish-brownish-blackish ink with noticeable green highlights. … [Read more…]
The premium line of Pelikan Fountain Pen ink, branded with the name Edelstein has been an instant favorite ever since I first tried the Aventurine color back in early 2011. I recently saw on the Goldspot.com website that they came out with a new color, Tanzanite which is essentially a blue black shade…so now we have one of my favorite inks also in my favorite color, making it a no brainer of a purchase. For full disclosure this purchase came with a … [Read more…]
Back when I ordered my TWSBI 540 Demonstrator, I also grabbed some of this Pilot Namiki Iroshizuku Tsuki-Yo Moonlight Fountain Pen Ink from Goldspot, with a nice little discount there from my friends. Now that I have a few weeks worth of use of this ink under my belt, I’m really pleased with it and thought I’d share my thoughts on it with you on this ink that falls into the premium and blue black categories. … [Read more…]
It has been a little while since I’ve done a fountain pen ink review, so I thought I’d break out my bottle of Noodler’s Black Red ink for a review. I cant remember where I bought this bottle from to be quite honest, I think I picked it up on my trip to DC earlier this year, but as with just about everything else in the world, you can pick some up at Amazon.com here. … [Read more…]
I posted a half day poll to allow our readers to pick the next item that they wanted to see reviewed. The overwhelming winner was the Noodler’s Blue Black fountain pen ink that I got here from Goldspot. I was a little surprised by this, but happy at the same time because I was not aware of how many fountain pen fans there were out there. Hope everyone enjoys the Noodler’s Blue Black Fountain Pen Ink review and finds it helpful. … [Read more…]
