Sailor Kobe # 38 Kitanozoka Night Blue

Strange... It feels really wet in my Custom 74, no hard starts at all.

Ditto.

 

This ink runs very wet. I use it at work and leave the pen uncapped without much issue. I've yet to experience any misbehavior from #38. However, wet inks (to me) appear to dry out much faster in capless fountain pens, pens with loose converters/cartridges or in fountain pens with caps that do not seal (by defect, age or design).

 

I've been using it at work for 4 weeks--it's been a beautiful experience.

It flows very well for me as well, with no hard starts or drying-out events. I'm on my 2nd bottle.

Great job for the series! They're very helpful!

But I came here No.38 when I clicked No.41...

Very impressive color. If possible, I'll try to pick up a bottle. Can always use dark blues. Thank you, Vis, for your usual awesome review.

Please, may we have the link to #41 Suma Rikyu Rose? Clicking on the link for it brought me here, instead. Thank you!

In the depths of my file storage I found pics of this ink that might be of interest to some here:

I had this ink in a Sailor Nagasawa Kobe Proske (1911s = Profit Standard) with a 14k-Zoom nib.

Usually deep dark midnight blues can be quite flat but this one has a really beautiful vividness to it so I am a bit bummed that I fell in love with this out-of-(my-)reach ink.

Thank you for posting all these lovely photos in various reviews of various blue inks - I'm loving them! Or, as @Tas would say:

[JulieParadise]

Hehe, thank you so much!
