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?

  4. Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.”
    She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had
    to tell someone!

  33. Восстановление автомобильного бампера:
    удаление сколов и полное обновление без демонтажа кузова

    Реставрация бампера https://remont-bampera.com/ сегодня является востребованной процедурой в сфере кузовного ремонта, поскольку именно эта
    часть автомобиля чаще всего
    страдает при мелких ДТП. Повреждённый бампер ухудшает внешний вид и может привести к нежелательным
    последствиям при дальнейшей эксплуатации.

    Перед началом работ проводится оценка
    дефектов и определяется материал бампера.
    Большинство современных бамперов изготавливаются из термопластичных материалов, что позволяет выполнять полноценную реставрацию без необходимости покупки новой детали.

    После снятия бампера мастер выбирает оптимальную технологию восстановления.
    Трещины пластика устраняются
    методом термосварки, а изгибы поверхности корректируются при контролируемом прогреве.
    поверхностные дефекты выравниваются перед подготовкой к покраске.

    Завершающим этапом является окрашивание детали, которая возвращает
    первоначальный цвет и защищает поверхность от дорожных реагентов.
    Благодаря этому точная реставрация позволяет значительно избежать лишних затрат и сохранить автомобиль в исправном состоянии.

  48. I believe what you said was actually very reasonable.
    However, think on this, what if you were to write a killer
    title? I am not saying your content isn’t solid, but what if you added
    a headline that grabbed people’s attention? I mean INK REVIEW: J Herbin Lie de The | Pentulant is a little boring.
    You should peek at Yahoo’s home page and note how they create article titles to get people
    to open the links. You might add a related video or a
    pic or two to get readers excited about everything’ve written. Just my opinion, it might make your posts a
    little bit more interesting.
