Looks like waterman blue/black! Great review!

 

It does NOT look like Waterman BB in real life. Blue Suede is lighter and much more green, to my eyes.

 

 

yes, i will say that it is a greener, ill try to get a more accurate color later.

Must be the photo - in 'real life' it looks nothing like any B/B I've ever seen.

 

Like the photo angle by the way - looks the start of Star Wars :) .

Yep, Blue Suede is really green. In fact, it is the only green I have in my box of inks anymore. (Well, if you don't count a pack of Montblanc Racing Green cartridges.)

 

Enjoy,

From a person's actions, we may infer attitudes, beliefs, --- and values. We do not know these characteristics outright. The human dichotomies of trust and distrust, honor and duplicity, love and hate --- all depend on internal states we cannot directly experience. Isn't this what adds zest to our life?

I am using both cartridges and the bottle.

 

I think I would describe it as a very blue ink that is shaded green.

 

Blue-Black and Teal do not cross my mind when I use it.

Of course, that is with my color vision, and I know it is a little bit off.

 

I find the color appealing, to me.

 

I do not find it a well behaved ink though. To me, it exhibits a common fault of highly saturated PR inks in that it has excessive surfacant and bleeds excessively through the paper. I have a suspicion that I will like it more with a bit of watering down.

I was just playing with this ink the other day. I really like it. If I were to describe it I would say it was on the green end of the Teal spectrum.

I have, but haven't taken or posted any photos of it.

 

Diamine Teal is more blue-grey, with far, far less green and less brightness. It is a more sedate, subdued color. I know that doesn't help much without photos, but that's my two cents.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
