The color of the ink is nice, it's well behaved, but I wouldn't consider buying this one. There's so many interesting blues on the market, and this one doesn't stand out.

Thank you for another great review Vis! I like this one. Actually I once hesitated between this one and Lidth's Jay, but I end up buying neither of them. I might reconsider this one...

This is a nice colour, but I found the ink really dry. I'd advise going with the Jay ink, which is really nicely lubricating as well as gorgeous.

Thank you for the info Saskia! It's sad to hear that, coz I quite like this colour but I really dislike dry ink... I think the Lidth's Jay is quite similar to BB Sapphire, isn't it?

[saskia_madding]

That's a good question, to which I don't have an answer. I've never compared them. My initial reaction would be that the Jay ink is much more saturated, but I am not sure what they'd look like next to one another.

 

Sailor makes a lot of blue inks like this one, or similar to this one, but that lubricate nicely. Onago-iro About To Leave and Hougado Bocchan Blue are among them.

Thanks Saskia! I shall check out About to Leave. I think I can get one of this...
