on saleTWSBI 1791 Navy - 18ml Bottled Ink

The pen is great, but I wish a had ordered the extra fine nib.

Very good!!! Like all things Twsbi, I love the Twsbi line of products and the ink does not disappoint. Thank you Goulet Pens for making this product known and available to me.

A good color in my collection

The short version of my review: This is a well-behaved ink with a BEAUTIFUL, unique sky blue base, and is worth trying on basis of this alone. The longer story: Years ago, I got a Noodler's Navy sample from Goulet Pens and became seriously obsessed with its sky blue base (which matched Goulet's swab nicely), which gave my writing an exquisitely unique pop of color I'd never seen in other blues. I got a second sample and full bottle, only to be massively let down--the color for these two was darker and duller, nothing like Goulet's bright swab. Ever since then, I've been on a hunt to find a lookalike ink, which proved difficult as there simply doesn't seem to be many inks with a sky blue base. Well, this is the lookalike right here. The resemblance to the Noodler's Navy swab is uncanny, and it's a lovely, well-behaved ink. And as mentioned, I ordered 3 more. Zero regrets! Shading is on the lesser side, sadly, but the uniqueness of the color makes up for it. There also seems to be a tiny bit of sheen which is most likely to occur when your pen has been left uncapped for some minutes prior to resuming writing. I believe the dry time is somewhat longer than average.
