Thanks for the review. I'd be interested to see this ink be put to your "Fade Olympics" test. I bought the older bottle when it was just called "Blue Black" and inked up one of my pens. It was a colour I fell in love with at first. Then after a day it slowly changed, became lighter and more teal-like. I opened my diary entry from last year which had some entries written with this ink and it was almost unrecognisable - it is more of a faded blue-green colour than anything else. Not sure if it is my batch that is performing so badly but I have relegated this ink to the "inks for testing pens" basket because it is considered safe for most pens, vintage and modern, and I just want to use it up quickly and get rid of it!

I believe it's exactly the same stuff as "Parker Blue Black" that did something similar for me. This recent comparison

Two years ago, FPNer Shawndo, purchased every blue ink sample Goulet's had to offer.

Alas, Shawndo ran out of free inky time. I agreed to do these reviews. So here we are.

Mysterious Blue looks way better in a wet nib as I can see from the second sample! I'll have to try it again. :)

Perhaps just a bit of Waterman black may help that Mysterious Blue. My Waterman Carene's sadly only like Waterman carts .. but I'm going to try it. Many thanks for all your great reviews. Sure enjoy in cold Canada.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      By Misfit · Posted

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
