Sailor Blue-Black review

[Slush99]

.... Grey, with just a hue of blue. Kind of mirrors my bleak complexion... ;-)

You have a Blue-Black complexion??? Are you kin to a smurf?! Please post a picture of thyself

 

 

M.

Please?

[Kees]

Eh ... EHH ... not actually blue-black ... just not the healthily-bronzed California-surfing kind of guy...

I would love to post my picture to show it to you, but see ... I don’t have a digicam! I’m SO sorry! (and perhaps also a bit shy...)

 

The fact is, I have a feeling I must excuse myself for not being fond of spectacular saturated colors. I happen to be an old bore...

Don't write yourself off yet, Kees . There are plenty of less-saturated FP inks on the market with very interesting and even entertaining colors.

Yeah man, saturation isn't ALWAYS where it's at!! (well to some maybe..)

Good grief, M4R1N4, now that is some sumptuous writing A couple of weeks ago, I ran into a batch of seven Sailor inks and promptly fell in love. The box, the bottle, the aptly named liquid — and most of all, the intoxicating smell scent! Each ink has its own fragrance. Who needs drugs when you have Jentle? :ltcapd:

 

Thanks for this classy review of what is probably my favourite of the bunch

Thanks for the review, M4rin4! I LOVE your handwriting!

When I saw this, I thought Marina was back, and posting reviews. This review is from 2006.

[Peter from Sherwood Park]

The pen-to-pen variation with this ink is interesting -- something that one doesn't see as much with more saturated inks.

Marina,

 

Just reading reviews of Sailor B/B. Do you still have any sample vials of this to try, per your note from...wow...3 years ago? Very interested. PM me.

 

Thank you!

Sheesh you guys! Thanks for all the compliments but what about the INK??

 

Nice - on my screen it is very reminscent of my beloved Prussian Blue - so I would probably like this ink a lot.

 

KCat: this ink is not as blue as Diamine Prussian (you sent me a vial of it and I just used the last of it ) This is more greyish, and like Dillon said, sometimes it seems almost like black with two drops of blue. I'd be happy to mail you a vial if you like! Just pm me if you want some. That goes for anybody!!

 

 

Marina.

A few months after Marina posted her review, we traded inks and I wound up with her bottle of Sailor BBk. None remains for samples now. Do try the Ink Sample Exchange if this is a must-have ink for you.

Very fine, very accurate review of an exceptionally well-behaved ink. Bravo.
