What a charming review for a lovely ink! I really must dig my sample out. Three red pandas and a baby wombat!

Great review of the ink I use 95% of the time. Some people think violette inks are too informal, but that's not true. This is close to the the ink millions of French kids learned to write with.

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

One of the best reviews of all time (IMO). Not so academic, pedantic. I use this ink all the time. One of the things I like best about your review is the mention of 30 ml. I too would favour a 50 or 80-ml bottle. 100 or 1500 ml would be too much.

Thanks for sharing your review. The combinations of witty humour and art makes smile.

I just ordered a bottle, even when both my handwriting and drawing skills would be much less a compliment to this ink.

Lovely review - very creative :thumbup:

 

I would concur - the ink is a pleasure to use.

 

Looking forward to further creative reviews. :D

Very nice review. For some reason I've never considered this ink when looking at the swabs or the screen but after your review it's on my list.
