Diamine Oxford Blue Review

[JulieParadise]

For the #50shadesofbluechallenge (link to the hashtag on Instagram), a challenge over at the German PenExchange forum for July & August 2020, I inked up all my pens with all the 50+ blue inks I have. The snapshots might also be of interest to some here.

Diamine Oxford Blue is a total winner in my book: Deep-dark-velvety, fast drying, subtle sheen (well, not so subtle when applied in thick globs, ahem), good availability, low maintenance ... Pretty much one of not too many almost perfect inks.

I really liked it in a vintage Mercedes 095 pen with a fat & juicy OBB nib.

Oxford Blue is the ink I use the most. I have three pens filled with it at the moment including two 1940s vintage pens.
