Waterman's Havana or Montblanc Sepia, depending on whether you prefer a

Never have seen Montblanc Sepia--I have Waterman's and it's fine, but
I like PR Chocolat a bit better.

Noodler's brown is pretty much bulletproof and fun to tweak with
yellow or red. Because of the bulletproof aspect, I'd pick Noodler's
brown.

That's why I bought Noodler's, but the yellowishness repelled me.

Sheaffer's Pink was too girly for me. I decided upon Noodler's Shah's
Rose.

I don't have either, but I've added water--water, not whiteness of the
whale--to some reds for some decent pinks. I do have whiteness of the
whale and recommend it for nothing.

I wished I had white ink for something the other night. I wonder what it
was.

It's not dull like most of the eternals?

Nope.

Put some red in it--or maybe a little blue.

If you're gonna go white, the only way to go is Bombay White with a
dip pen. Higgins white is almost as good.

OK, I'm gonna buy it.

What I tell waitresses and waiters who I get to order for me, after I
make sure they haven't picked something bland is, "OK, if I like it,
you get a tip. If I don't like it, you don't get a dime."

I always tip anyway though.

I can't recall why I wished I had white. It was the first time and the urge
passed. If I could remember what I was doing...ah, but that would make it
too easy.

I'll keep your recommendations in mind, though, in case it returns.

I was at office depot or somewhere like that one day and they had some
dark red envelopes, and I bought a pack of those mother****ers just so
I could address them in my white ink. Right now, for the time being
at least, you can get dark colored paper in office depot that you
could use the white on.

There are a lot of different surfaces that Bombay ink will stick
to--not just paper.

And another great thing about it is you can get it for like $3.00 a
bottle at Hobby Lobby.

I'll keep your recommendations in mind, though, in case it returns.

That's a great price. I write on pearl white Crane, rarely ecru, in
different ink colors and have a variety of colored envelopes to liven up
recipient's mail, but I've avoided the darker envelopes because I don't want
the expense of light ink. I've got a glass pen right here and one or two
metal nibs w/holder someplace. I'll have to find them or buy another when I
go to Hobby Lobby.

Thanks!
