You always do the best reviews and your Japanese kana make me (Omas) green with envy O.o

I'm sorry, that was awful.

Shalom!

Thank you for your kind words, Caffeinated42! People like you make me want to keep doing more ink reviews! ^^

 

I can't blame you for that pun; that's a solid one. :)

Nice review. One of my favourite greens. But mine is less blue.

Thank you! I like your spotches - my desk looks like that sometimes (often).

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

You're very welcome, Amber! If you like the ink splotches, you might like this.

Very nice review and beautiful ink!! Will certainly need to try. Thanks for sharing.

 

Thanks, gentlyom! It's definitely worth getting a sample. I'll also be reviewing Lamy Green and Sheaffer Green soon, which should be pretty similar. :)

I only had disappointments with this ink , I had to mix with MB Emerald in order to get a proper lubrication and inkflow.

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
