I was pleasantly surprised by this ink. It flows well and consistently (I'm running it through a Parker Sonnet currently). The colour itself is amazing – once dry it has an almost translucent silver flash to it. The price seemed a little steep when i initially bought it, but after a month or so of use I can happily saw that it was worth the expense. This is a serious contender for the mantle of ‘favourite ink’ alongside (Pilot's) Iroshizuku in Moonlight (which is also here on Mighty Ape). Highly recommend this particular Herbin shade. Would happily pay full price for it again
