Blue Bahama - Levenger

[visvamitra]

It seems Levenger is family company that offers a wide variety of products. Levenger designs many of its products, with approximately 75% of its product line being proprietary. The company describes itself as a champion of Slow Tech. Levenger CEO and co-founder Steve Leveen has aligned the company with the Conscious Capitalism movement. To that end, the company has created an initiative called Partnering for Good, which pays product-based royalties to nonprofit institutions whose missions are connected to reading or learning.

Among other things the company offers a line of fountain pen iks.

Levenger's Bahama Blue isn't my color. The ink behaves well and offers some shading. It's not revolting but it's not the color I would use outside preparing review.

Man, I wish someone sold Levenger samples. There was Ink by a ML, but that seems defunct now.

 

Edit: Found some!

Just ordered a bottle of this. Looking at your writing samples, it seems to be in my wheelhouse. 

Others I have 

Pomegranate (long discontinued, have a few ml still)

Forest Green (just ordered a second bottle)

Cobalt Blue

Amethyst 

 

Once upon a time I had Raven Black, but didn't replace it when I finished it in 2013. It took over a decade to finish it.

I like the Blue Bahama and have been using it for many years. It's similar to one of the Waterman inks I hear. Greystoke was also discontinued as was the Pinkly. I hung on to some Smokey and Greystoke as I love gray ink. I started buying Levenger inks in the mid-90s so I could add to the list with a few more discontinued colors. 😊. One new one is Peony Pink which seems like the old Pinkly. I ran out of Skies of Blue a long time ago and forgot how nice it is as I had some cartridges left. I ordered the bottled Skies of Blue and Peony Pink (which initially only came in cartridges) yesterday as they had 25% off and free shipping.
