INK REVIEW: J Herbin Lie de The

Posted on by
I don’t like brown inks. It’s been documented right here on this blog.  
Pilot Iroshizuku’s Tsukushi? Too much red.
Delta Brown, what’s the flower you have on? It’s brown.
Chocolat from Private Reserve? I said I liked it, but I don’t. I never bought a bottle like I said I might.
I don’t like brown inks. Really, I don’t!! 
J Herbin Lie de The
Why try again? Well, I have just about every other color group represented in my currently-inked pens and the Kaweco Sport I wanted to use is blue.  I’ve always thought brown and blue look great together. Leather and denim, right? Can’t just be me.
Anyway . . .
Best. Brown. Ever. 

I’m a convert. I have seen the light brown and I like it. I love it.  My gosh, look at that shading.

The color is wonderful. Not too dark, not too light. I’m not seeing any of that red that turned me away from some of the other browns I’ve tried. There’s definitely some yellow in there, though.
It writes fantastically. No flow issues (consider that I was using a BB nib). Dry time was a little long (that nib was laying down some serious ink). 
There was no feathering, bleeding, or ghosting with Clairefontaine paper. There was all of the above when I touched the nib to some cheapie cheap-o paper.  I don’t know if that’s more because of the paper or the ink, but there you go.

I’m adding Lie de The to my inky wish list.
Here’s the full review. Click here to see the full-size image (it’s big).  

OK…speak up….brown ink. Are you in or out? Do you like browns that lean toward the yellow or more toward red?

xoxox

P.S. I rarely look at other reviews before I write my own, but will sometimes check them out after. There are lots of reviews on Fountain Pen Network that talk about how green Lie de The is. I don’t see that. I don’t see that so much that I wonder if the formulation has changed. When I look at the swabs on both Goulet Pens and Zeller Writing, I don’t see green.  Do you?

  13. Wonderful blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers?
    I’m hoping to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything.

    Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go
    for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m totally overwhelmed ..
    Any recommendations? Thanks!

  22. Hi! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established
    blog. Is it very difficult to set up your own blog? I’m not
    very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast.
    I’m thinking about setting up my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any ideas
    or suggestions? Thank you

    my day. You can not imagine simply how so much

  43. Heya! I realize this is somewhat off-topic however I needed to ask.
    Does managing a well-established website like yours take a massive amount
    work? I’m completely new to writing a blog however I do write in my
    journal daily. I’d like to start a blog so
    I can easily share my personal experience and views online.
    Please let me know if you have any suggestions or tips for new aspiring
    blog owners. Thankyou!

  46. An outstanding share! I’ve just forwarded this onto a friend who had been conducting a little research on this.
    And he in fact bought me dinner simply because I stumbled upon it for him…
    lol. So allow me to reword this…. Thanks for the
    meal!! But yeah, thanx for spending time to discuss this matter here on your web site.

  48. This design is spectacular! You most certainly know how to keep
    a reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to
    start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Great job.
    I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it.
    Too cool!
