Very nice, I am loving everything that was sent to me recently, my fond regards to Goulet Pens!

I prefer wetter inks that don't hard-start or require burping. This was too dry for me in a Conklin Herringbone with an omniflex nib.

Although I too hoped it would have that very red sheen all the time I still love the ink. Its a beautiful blue that is interesting without being flashy. The red sheen appears at certain angles and on certain papers and also tends to outline the ink itself.

This is a nice shade of blue, not as vibrant as Kon-peki, but a little more muted shade in that general vicinity. It seems a bit more elegant in that way, being a beautiful blue without overwhelming blueness. Now, I first got the ink because of the pictures of the sheen, and I tried it out on Tomoe River paper, which I think is how most of the pictures of it on the Goulet web site are made. Just writing with it, however, I get little to no sheen. If I put a big blob on the paper, then I do see the reddish sheen, especially at certain angles, but I try not to get big blobs of ink on my paper as a general rule. I would buy the ink for the beautiful blue, but not with any expectations of sheening.

Love the color and the quick drying ability
