Noodler's El Lawrence - Mini review

[Yazeh]

Here is a min review, of Noodler's El Lawrence. An ink I enjoyed most for its qualities rather than colour.


This ink has slightly a drier flow compared to the many other Noodler’s inks, I have tried. It dries almost instantaneously. I had it for a long while in my fountain pen and never had any problems writing.
It is closest to Burma Road Brown and darker than R& K Emma.
For those who ink wash, I would suggest, Burma Road Brown, Emma and alternatively Zhivago.

I hope you don’t mind a touch of whimsy in form of an article 200 years from now:
Martian Archeologist on a survey mission to Earth have found one of the most exciting finds of the decade, a document, believing to belong to the famed British explorer Lawrence of Arabia, thanks to an UV sweep. The document managed to survive the climate catastrophe of 2080.
Ten years later the chief xeno-archaeologist of Europa colony, has concluded that the Notebook could not have belonged to the famed Lawrence and has tentatively carbon dated it to the early 21st century, to an unknown scribe.
Searchers on Alpha Centauri have concluded that the following text belonged to a marginal sect thriving in early 21st century, the fountain pen worshippers. It is not clear what the purpose of this group has been. Much research has to be done now, as numerous other documents of this sort have been found
