== Jay Herbal Ink ==


'''Ed Jelley:''' Ed, can you tell us the name, name of this Jay Herbal ink you just reviewed? No. Come on, man. Uh, it's on you. You, you posted it. So I'm going to make you pronounce it. And then me and Myke will attempt our butchering of it. Cause this is like, this looks like the hardest ink name to pronounce that I've ever seen.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I think it's Karub.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Day chip bra. I don't know. Couldn't tell you. I am not French enough for that name at all. So I'm the brown one. It's called the, you pronounce it the brown one, the brown sparkly one, right?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Does this one have sparkles in it? Yeah. Yeah. Brad, do you want to give it a go? I was going to go, uh, Karube de Chifre. See, I would go for Karube de Chifre. Uh, that sounds pretty good. I'm pretty, I'm pretty confident about the Chifre part. Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' He's closest to France though, geographically. So I think he's got the, he's got the advantage.

'''Ed Jelley:''' Yeah. I, I, I kind of liked that. You're like the, uh, what was the villain, uh, villain's name in, uh, in one of the Bond movies? Yeah. That's why I'm going for it. It's Le Chifre. Right. Yeah. Is, was it spelled the same? No idea. It was just, it was just, that's what it sounds like to me. Cause I watched that, watch that one all the time. 100% where I got the inspiration to say it that way. Okay. So I'm not drunk yet. It's only 10, 20 here. Give me an hour. So tell us, tell us about this ink. Ed, are you doing so recently, like in the past, you've done some work for, um, uh, Exacompto. Is that it? Exacompto? Uh, Exaclare. Exaclare. Exaclare. But Exacompto is one of their brands. Yeah. So that's where I was getting confused. So you've done some work for Exaclare, which is their brand. They're the U.S. distributor for Rodia, Claire Fontaine, Jay Herbal, some things like that. So is this part of that, uh, were you doing some, uh, product stuff for them?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Um, the one I posted wasn't because I had to do a different one for me than for them. Um, so I did one for them that's on their YouTube channel, which is a bit longer and a little bit more involved. And, um, I did a video for a waterproof notebook they have coming out. So, uh, I figured I'm, I have all this stuff set up. I might as well just make a couple of videos for myself. Um, well, I have the lights and cameras and everything all ready to go.

'''Ed Jelley:''' So tell us about this ink as it relates to like the, uh, Emerald de Chivore and some of the other ones that they've done. How do, what do you think about it?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Um, it's pretty close. I'm not big on Brown in general, so, uh, I like it. It's definitely interesting. It's definitely worth the 1670 name. Um, I found that the gold flakes settle a little bit quicker than they do in the green and the blue and the red. Um, so it was a little harder to get the shimmer out, uh, especially in a fountain pen. But, um, I mean, if you like the other inks and you've been waiting for a Brown one, uh, definitely check it out.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It looked red to me. Um, it's only now in you saying this, do I know that it's Brown?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. It's like, they call it a reddish Brown Brown, Brown, Brown red.

'''Ed Jelley:''' I saw very little sparkles like in your video, but I did enjoy, and I didn't necessarily like the dark Brown, but I did like the shading of when it, when the ink got thin. Um, and some of that red came through. I thought that looked really nice.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, it's definitely cool. Um, I like it. I know a lot of people were hoping for a purple, um, which would be really cool. We'll see what happens. We'll see what happens next year. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't even think about that. I could see that happening for sure. Um, but yeah, no, I, I pretty much work for them once a year. They get their marketing budget re-upped and then they give me a call and it's always fun. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
