Best blue-black ink?

[kdv]

Blue black is also my favourite colour.

But, though is seems simple, a true blue black is hard to find.

My list:

1. Iroshizuku shin kai: a nice dark blue – black
2. Aurora blue black. This ink has till now received very few comments. And if, it often is described as a dry ink. I however did not find it dry at all. And, it’s also a real dark blue black
3. MB blue black
4. Waterman blue – black. Though I like waterman inks for their qualities, I do not appreciate their blue black. I recently re opened an old bottle (may be that is the cause). After using it the colour turns light-grey and not blue black at all.

Out of the ones I've tried, I'm a big fan of Noodler's 54th Massachusetts and Pilot Blue-Black.

My current favorite is Diamine Registrar's Blue Black, followed closely by Pelikan Edelstein Tanzanite.

I used to love love love Noodler's 54th Mass, but the ink in my bottle more teal over time, despite shaking up the bottle - hardly use it now.
