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?

  11. Hi there would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re
    working with? I’m going to start my own blog
    in the near future but I’m having a difficult time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.
    P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

  15. Ого, ты уже пробовал платить криптой
    по QR-коду?
    Криптовалюты сейчас штурмуют мир,
    и это не просто слова! Забудь про долгие переводы или возню с кошельками — сканируешь и готово!
    И знаешь, это не так сложно, как кажется!
    Всё о безопасности QR-платежей в криптовалюте

    Я сам недавно попробовал эту тему,
    и, честно, впечатления огонь!
    Просто открыл приложение, навёл камеру на
    QR-код, и всё, оплата прошла!

    Попробуй, и поймёшь, почему все об этом говорят!

    Как это работает?
    Секрет прост: нужен телефон
    с криптокошельком. Выбери кошелёк типа Binance — главное, чтобы QR-коды умел считывать.
    В магазине или онлайн
    тебе показывают QR-код, ты его сканируешь, жмёшь «Оплатить»,
    и готово! QR + крипта = плати в 1 клик

    Самое крутое — это простота. И главное — безопасно: QR-коды не дают хакерам шанса.
    Попробовал оплатить кофе — и ни одной проблемы,
    всё просто и быстро!
    Куда с криптой и QR-кодом?
    Крипта по QR-коду уже захватывает магазины, кафе и даже онлайн-сервисы.
    Видел, как в онлайн-магазинах всё чаще берут крипту по QR?
    Ищи логотипы криптовалют или спроси
    на кассе — многие в теме.
    Крипта в один скан

    В интернете вообще сказка: онлайн-сервисы уже поддерживают QR-оплату криптой.
    На сайте жмёшь «Оплатить криптой», сканируешь QR, и транзакция завершена!

    Я недавно так заказал шмотки — и это реально без лишних
    телодвижений.
    Почему это круто?
    Оплата криптой по QR-коду — это не только круто, но и шаг в будущее.
    Ты не зависишь от банков, комиссий за переводы
    и прочей волокиты. Плюс, это безопасно, если тебе важна приватность.

    И знаешь, что ещё? Это просто затягивает!
    Сканируешь QR, подтверждаешь, и бац —
    ты уже в деле! Рискни, и тебе точно зайдёт!
    Будь на шаг впереди: плати криптой через
    QR

    Ну что, в деле?
    Честно, оплата криптой по QR-коду —
    это реальная тема, и оно уже здесь!
    Сделай одну оплату через QR,
    и, спорим, ты будешь в восторге?
    Просто открой приложение, найди
    место, где принимают крипту, и вперёд!

    А ты уже пробовал платить криптой по QR?
    Поделись своей историей!
    Всё меняется: крипта и QR на службе у кошелька https://cybafoxfire.wiki/index.php/Virtual_Wallet_-_What_Do_Those_Stats_Actually_Mean%3F

    the e book in it or something. I feel that you just can do with some p.c.
