I'm still waiting for them to arrives, and that was early January Good point. Winter is a complete deterrent for me - I tried it once, never again! Link to post Share on other sites

But more flat than I'm looking for...reminds me of a darker P.I. Shin-Ryoku. Link to post Share on other sites

It's so unflat it's almost mountainous! Loads of shade and sheen and fantastic colour range - it's one of my favourite mid-greens. It's a completely different colour family to Shin Ryoku, which looks almost teal next to it. Link to post Share on other sites

Well, you guys went and did it... Now I have to add this one to the list to try too...lol. See what you've done...another ink the wife is going to shake her head and suck her teeth about. For shame! 🤣 P.S. 💓 you guys ROCK!! Link to post Share on other sites

Aysedasi Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Horses for courses, I guess. It's not an ink I use all the time, but I do ink a pen up with it when I want to feel the pleasure of using a really vibrant (and mountainous!) green. It is one of the few bottles of ink that I've actually finished and replaced in the last couple of years. http://www.aysedasi.co.uk Link to post Share on other sites

I've only ever come close to finishing off my bottles of Pilot Iroshizuku - Shin Ryoku and Tsukushi. But that's mainly because I test every pen build with them...they're reliable and always work. If they don't work in a pen, I know the pen has a problem. 😛 Like my most recent build...the feed and housing in that pen are trash. I know it...because the pilot inks don't flow reliably.

Dimy Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Thanks for the review. Looks nice green colour ink and properties are big plus here. Might consider it when hunting green. As for name....well lets say its quite nice for me, at least it is green when it says green.........never imagined I would say this. Link to post Share on other sites
