Great review, especially the illustrations!

I'm surprised it's a dark Blue. When I think electric colors, I think neon. I wonder what the brightest blue ink out there actually is?

Sigh, another PR ink to buy.

Mine doesn't look as dark (more of a vibrant blue). I love rich, saturated ink colors, and this one fits the bill. Currently (maybe indefinitely so) my favorite blue ink.

Just bought a bottle of this ink two days ago in Boston. Coming out of a Waterman Preface with a broad Binder cursive italic nib it is much darker than the ink sample in the review, dark enough to count as blue black. I expected it to be a bit brighter. Maybe in a pen with a finer nib.

I think PR Lake Placid is the brightest blue, but it is a totally different shade of blue than PR Electric Blue.

(Perhaps DilettanteG will favor us with one of her ink reviews now that we've gotten her curiosity engaged....)

Thanks for the fun ink review, Tequila! (I love the pictures!)I'm becoming quite a fan of PR inks. My current favorite is Black Magic Blue, but I'm looking forward to getting my hands on a bottle of the Electric Blue now.

Nice review, for some reason I expected electric blue to be brighter, like a spark or something. Fun pictures.

I received this ink a week ago from the States. It has actually the nice dark cobalt blue colour I expected from a FPN Starry Starry Night blue ink. Now I don't have to wait for that ink under construction.

Apparently I'm late to the party, as I've just been using PRDCSSEB (gotta love that "abbreviation" ) for the past few weeks, but it has very quickly become my favorite ink, eclipsing both PRDCSSB and PRAB. I don't even use any other inks now. My PR Chocolat and Aurora Black sit sadly by.

To me, its somewhere in the middle between Midnight Blues and DCSSB. Midnight blues, while gorgeous, is a bit too thick for my tastes. DCSSEB is a vibrant, deep, cobalt blue, but has a similar consistency to DCSSB.

Probably time for me to get a bunch of ink together and do a big lot sale in the marketplace, because PRDCSSEB pretty much has everything I'm looking for in an ink.

Wow, that is a dark blue! I wouldn't have guessed. Thanks for the review!

Noodler's Baystate Blue. That's as bright as it gets.

Edit: Baystate Blue is as bright as my tag line at the bottom of this post.

Just bought a bottle of this. I really like the way it shades from dark to, well, not so dark..... It certainly lays down a much more vibrant line for me than in Tequila's example (using my Esterbrook J with 2442 nib).
