Aloha - What ink(s) have you been using recently, say, past few weeks or month? Not necessarily all-time favorites, but just whatever you have fired up recently and pen you selected. Maybe add why you selected it, and its attributes. Work? journal? letters? experimenting with new ink? testing repairs? testing nib? May be interesting to see a snapshot of what the members have been up to very recently - current events, folks? For starters, here's my most recent: (1) Aurora Blue, using in a recent home-rehab Parker 61 Flighter capillary, picked Aurora for easy cleanup. (2) Noodlers Black Swan in Australian Roses, using in a recently home-restored burgundy flexy Venus President, picked ink for matching color and shading, and (3) Noodlers Black Eel, selected for bulletproof qualities and formal color, in a newly acquired black 1948 Parker "51" vac with a gorgeous sterling cap (4) Edelstein Topaz, loaded into a huge Sterling Yafa with 14K Bock nib, equally large, trying to select an ink that will match up to the big wet elegant Bock nib. .
