My second Sailor Jentle Ink arrived today, and I couldn't wait to try it. This is Yama-dori, and it is loaded into an OMAS Ogiva Alba Green with an italic nib. This is kind of a "first look," so I didn't feel it belonged in the Reviews forum. So .... The nib on this pen writes very wet, but Yama-dori, while having excellent lubrication, also permits very good thick/thin line differentiation, which is very important to me. The big surprise was the sheen, although looking back at Saskia's 2010 review of this ink, one commenter ("Mother of Triplets?") remarked on its sheen. If this flow behavior is characteristic of all Sailor Jentle inks, I am in big trouble! David
