Work day, so: Serenity Blue, KWZ IG Blue #3 and Sailor Jentle Doyou. Traditional, yet strangely beautiful all of them.

Vintage. Cursive italic. Iron gall.

Levenger Always Greener. It's a really great match with the spring green JIF I'm testing it in so, having the presence of mind (for once) to only fill the cartridge about 1/3 full, I might just write it out. Otherwise, can't see using it much.

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

Levenger Pinkly in my Pilot Decimo Pink Binderized Italiafine.

 

Even on cream paper this ink is eye searingly bright. I usually have a Noodler's Eel ink in this pen and this Levenger's seems a lot scratchier than I remember. I can't tell if it's the ink or if I need to use one of the nib smoothing cloths.

Today it's been:

1) diluted Akkerman Dutch Masters Stormachtig Blauw, almost finishing up the fill in the TWSBI 580-AL

2) J Herbin Rose [scented ink] in the Lamy Safari. This is a new ink for me (someone gave me a sample, probably in last fall's SCN ink trade night. Not a lot of scent (at least as compared to De Atramentis Red Roses) but a tiny bit; and it's a pretty pinkish red.

3) Robert Oster Charcoal in the Pilot Metropolitan, newly fitted with a replacement Con-B converter (the original converter having had a bad run-in with some vintage ink recently); Charcoal is another new-to-me ink, although I've had a sample of it for awhile now.

PINKLY!!!!! DilettanteG is spot on - it's intensely pink. Happy dance for finally managing to snag a bottle. :bunny01:

Iroshizuku Shin-Kai in a Parker 51 with a cursive italic grind. It dries a little lighter/greyer than I remembered...

Vintage. Cursive italic. Iron gall.

On Clairefontaine paper. Sorry for the carpy cell phone photo. Had to downsize it due to upload restrictions.

The last few drops of my Salix sample. Still not decided if I like this ink yet. I think I'm going to try some of the other IG samples. But still, I would like a nice permanent blue ink with character.
