Sailor has released all of their ink colors in tiny 20ml bottles under the Shikiori sub-brand. But with this release, there are four new colors available only in this set and one of those colors is Shimoyo (20ml bottle for $15). The bottles are actually very elegant with a matte gold faceted plastic lid and a…
I have been hoarding this review for ages because Organics Studio Nitrogen Royal Blue ($14 per 55ml bottle) is almost always out of stock. No matter how fast it is restocked, it sells out. If you haven’t seen this ink, what makes it so covetable is that it sheens like crazy, even in the finest…

On the ninth day of Inkmas, I reviewed an ink that is virtually impossible to get. Sorry! Scriptus 2017 Confederate Confederation Brown is another sample I acquired from a member of my local pen club. It was the special ink created by KWZ for the Toronto Pen Show this year in honor of the 150th…
