== Limited Edition Inks ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' my awakening the call of the limited edition is I'm bad about that kind of stuff apparently

'''Myke Hurley:''' I think it's such a bad idea to buy a limited edition ink

'''Brad Dowdy:''' oh yeah I know it is because if you love it it's gone that's exactly right

'''Myke Hurley:''' bad idea buddy

'''Brad Dowdy:''' it's a fatal flaw in the whole thought process but that didn't stop me from spending way way too much money on four bottles of sailor ink and I mentioned I think I did mention it a couple weeks ago that I bought them from Aesthetic Bay out of Singapore well I got the first review up it's called it was a sailor gentle limited edition autumn 2010 Okuyama it's a maroon ink it's very pretty

'''Myke Hurley:''' there's something in it that I love about the fact that you love a gentle sailor

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I mean you know a sailor is always at the top of my wishlist Myke that's one of the best show titles we've ever had back in the day and yes I love a I love a gentle sailor and this ink is actually shockingly good and which I'm glad because it cost me a fortune but it's weird it's my large written review didn't come out very well it's hard to I probably need to start scanning some of my ink reviews to see if I can get a better color

'''Myke Hurley:''' that would actually be a really good use for your doxy

'''Brad Dowdy:''' yeah I know I need to do that and it would be I don't know I just need to try it to see if it'll come out better but you can tell pretty much how the how the ink is it's kind of a medium maroon it's not too dark it's not too light it's not too pink it's not too purple it's just a real solid color it behaves extremely well and then the dry time on it when I did like the little dry time ink test it didn't smear at all like in five seconds on rhodia paper there was no smudging so I need to I need to double check my sanity on that I was like did I do this right and apparently I did because it didn't smudge on any of the the ink test and that was the most impressive thing about it

'''Myke Hurley:''' what's the one two three about

'''Brad Dowdy:''' um what do you call it that's how many times I've written over itself what's the word for it so one pass two pass three pass

'''Myke Hurley:''' right okay

'''Brad Dowdy:''' so one one pass of ink then passing over itself again twice then three times so just to show the darkness of the ink if it goes over itself

'''Myke Hurley:''' beautiful color

'''Brad Dowdy:''' yeah and then on the the instagram picture which actually probably shows the color better which I put at the bottom you can kind of barely make it out there's like a little bit of a green sheen on it like a lot of blue inks especially brighter blues you'll see a red sheen on it on some of these red inks you get a green sheen out of it and you can barely kind of see it in the uh in the other picture which that was on that was um the top picture was with my normal camera a nice uh you know panasonic um you know point and shoot nice decent camera and the bottom one is with my iphone and on um off-white hobonichi paper and that picture actually came out shows the color better I think and that was a that was a sneak shot of my new uh fire and ice franklin kristoff model 40 pocket which is pretty awesome so jealous

'''Myke Hurley:''' i just won't buy it because i'm still too scared about doing the strange feeling thing

'''Brad Dowdy:''' yeah it's actually pretty normal i was scared i was pretty scared um but anyway back to these inks i got four of these bottles so this was the first review i did and i have another one coming up soon and uh i'm gonna keep going through these and uh if you used all four of them no i've only used two of them so far and this one i've still got inked up i love i'm very happy with this and i've been using this ink at work and and things like that so i this one i will definitely use the other one is really awesome but i think there's something else that's almost identical to it so it may not be worth it in the end so that's a that's a teaser you'll just have to wait for the review of that one so this one i'm happy with the purchase worth the money the second bottle that i tested it's completely awesome it just may not be worth the money because you can do just as well elsewhere if you will so we'll leave that tease for you sounds good yes sir so that's all the kind of the follow-up topics and i know we got a we got a big topic today and we got a pen blog of the week i want to get to so do you want to talk about our friends today
