Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Hi there!

I don' like this ink. Funny (again not all that hilarious) but I love blue (practically all blues) and I love silver, but I think they best fit next to each other (like in an old Aurora pen's blue Auroloide right up against its silver metal). This ink sorta has both colors slushed together IMO.

All best wishes for you yourself. Take care!

Thank you for checking it out!

Thanks for the review, @amberleadavis!  This is a color I like - and have several of already.  It reminds me a little of Colorverse Ham 65, which is in my pen right now. :)

 

For a shimmer ink it has been well behaved.

You are my blue inspiration, but I think you would find this one uninspiring.

Nice presentation! The colour of this ink appeals to me, especially in these broad nibs. I really like its muted character. But since I’m not into shimmer, and I already have inks that look fairly similar, I can safely skip this one. 

And I must say that it darkened “a lot” overnight - looks like a totally different blue. I like the muted & more pale version better.

Thank you.  Your ink shoot outs are inspirational.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
