Just realised I should have put all these ink shots in one post- sorry about that! Anyway, here is a quick shot of Pen & Message Sanyasu copper? sheen... And a close up of the swaps; Here is a quick shot of the wicked illuminous green sheen you get with Syuurushi or Red Urushi from Pen & Message. Paper here is again Hobonichi TR paper; Here it is on Original Crown Mill white mini note cards, looks completely different, a deep red (actually more like an urushi red colour than the TR sample), with the same green sheen. This looks a bit like the new Bungubox Ink of Naorata I saw someone post a sample of... Here is the Vintage Denim sample again so everything's in one place...check out the wicked green sheen;

This is my second favourite ink from Pen & Message shop after, obviously, Cigar. I have been wanting to use this for a while now, but kept using other inks that i have. Writing Sample: http://i.imgur.com/MfwZVGE.jpg Close-up: There is some sheen, but if you use a hosepipe BB nib, you should be able to get more sheen out of it. Due to my handwriting being relatively small, i cannot use such nibs. http://i.imgur.com/05Ihxnm.jpg They recently changed the label of on the boxes, so here is an obligatory picture of both the boxes. http://i.imgur.com/9Pz2h4D.jpg This is my favourite burgundy ink, unless of course i manage to get something else from sailor, and i do have 3-4 burgundy inks waiting to be used. Only thing I do regret is not choosing a better Graphilo notebook. This one is so thick (188 pages 80gsm) that by the time i reach the end of the page, i find it hard to support my hand for writing. Hence, the irregular writing at the end. Waterproofness and drying times isn't much of an issue for me, so I've skipped that. In case anyone is interested in that, I'll be happy to add them. Thank you.
