    The latest version of דיו לנצח is #295. It writes very well.
    Here is one Mezuzah written with דיו לנצח

    The ink flows well, is extremely black, and is shiny.

      Beautiful! Is this your ksav?

      Also, can you share what changed? I have some old Dyo Lanetzach somebody gave me and it flows well but is a dull black, not shiny.

      This is not my ktav.
      The shine depends a lot on the exact type of עשן used. I stopped using the non-shiny עשן and replaced it with a kind that maintains a nice shine and is also a stronger and darker black.

      What does your dyo cost? I'm looking to finally start practicing tzurat ha'otiot with practice klaf and dyo, but as I'm not yet writing sta"m, I have to pay attention to cost, rather than kashrut.

      In the US it costs $33 for a 130g bottle. Shipping in the US is free.
      In other counties you add only the actual shipping cost.
      In Israel - contact one of the sellers listed here.
      You can also email me at the email listed here.

      The cost of the ink is nothing compared to all other expenses involved in the profession of STAM.

    I have been using it for about three years now. I have been quite satisfied. I find it to flow much better than others and mechikos are much less cumbersome.

    I have been using it for about 5 years, it takes time to get used to it, but the results are amazing: very black letters, crack proof, water proof. Since I started to use it it's only getting better, the last bottle I got was #286 and it was very good, looking forward to get the latest version #295.

shin in "Alter Rebbe" script

Both the Shulchan Aruch Harav and the Mishnah Brurah use similar terminology when describing the importance of the shin being "pointy" on the bottom and all three branches of the letter shin meeting at a point or "chad" at the bottom of the letter. There is a strong foundation in Halacha for this and for the bottom of the shin to be flat like a moshav (base) is considered questionable (Pri Megadim) and definitely not Kosher Lechatchillah. It is worse if the moshav is very wide, but it is still questionable if it is lechatchillah if there is a thick noticeable base rather than a chad. Even for Sephardim, who lechatchillah make an angular base, it is still important that the base is indeed on a (significant) angle. If the base is flat, even if all three branches of the shin come out of the base  connected , as in the top picture, it is problematic.  It is worse in the bottom picture below where the right head/ branch comes out of the right part of the base and the m

The different ways of forming the"Hefsek Parshas Stuma" in tefillin parshiyos.

Following Ari's post, I have cut and pasted an article I wrote for a local publication some time ago on this very issue. I think it sums up this issue and the various shittos. I also suggest Rav Yonason Hershlags kuntres on this topic called "stumah shebestam". The different ways of forming the"Hefsek Parshas Stuma" in tefillin parshiyos. Introduction There is a common misconception that the only difference between the different minhagim (customs) of tefillin parshiyos is the ksav (font) they are written in. For example if a person is Sephardic, the ksav will be "Vellish", a script that is unique to Sephardic Jews; If one is of traditional Ashkenazic and non-Chassidic background, then he would usually get the "Beis Yosef" script;  If one is "Chassidic", he would get the "Arizal" script, etc.  While this is correct, there are also different opinions and minhagim on how to make the spacing between the parshiyos of th
