I put the ink in a Safari Vista Black, medium nib. The combination is great. Very smooth. Silver Fox flows well, shades nicely, and dries quickly. This ink is neither bluish, nor greenish, nor is it greige. A perfect gray, resembling graphite, as another reviewer said. I find it easy to read, not at all too light. It looks very good on white paper and also Leuchtturm 1917 paper (cream). I wrote a sample on an Office Depot glue top tablet � I've found that paper to be mostly fountain pen friendly. I cut out a piece, and after about 10 minutes of drying, soaked in in water for a little over 10 minutes. It spread and lightened a bit, but is still very readable.

I won't go over all the specific characteristics of the ink that are available in multiple other locations. But Lexington as a permanent and Silver Fox as a washable are my two favorites. The Fox has plenty of presence to be easily read. Noit's not too faint. I use it in my TWSBI Eco (Cement Gray Ltd Ed). It's a PERFECT pairing.

This ink flows smoth on my Kaweco Lilliput, the shades are great and the visual sensation of pencil graphite is incredible.

I really like the Diamine Silver Fox after I added a few drops of black to darken the ink for the paper I was using.

Silver Fox is, to my eyes, a pure grey, not shaded with green as some other greys are. Like other Diamine inks, it is very well-behaved and a pleasure to write with. .

I wanted to get some grey to change things up from the usual black ink and this caught my eye. I prefer cool greys over warm greys because warm greys just seem unnatural and forced to me. I ended up choosing two grey inks, DeAtraments Black Roses which looks like charcoal and Diamine Silver Fox which is light be still legible. I am very happy with both inks because now I have black, charcoal and silver grey at my desk to produce some interesting effects for sketching.

I originally got this ink because it matched my Pilot Metropolitan but now I have it in 3 of my pens. Great ink not watered down at all and it doesn't run. Definitely a must have

I bought this as a sample and I think it's great it is light and easy on the eyes. I use a medium bib as a lefty overwriter and it dries in time to the time I get there, never had a smudge. Definitely getting a full bottle

I bought this for school and absolutely love it. However, it made my classmates to think the ink in my fountain pen was finishing due to the light colour. My only complaint is it takes awhile to dry. Even in air conditioned room. Therefore smudges may appear when you go over them. I would not recommend this for left handed ones.

After using this ink for a number of months now, I am truly impressed with its qualities. Moderate flow and a somewhat drier feel than other Diamine inks surprised me, but this seems to result in an unusually limited spreading of the ink which in turn lets the line variation in stubs, italic nibs etc. come to its fullest. Of my collection of nine greys this is the most neutral, not leaning at all towards blue, green or brown. It is a fairly light grey, about like an H or HB pencil, with distinct shading. On a more subjective note, this ink seems very 'minimalistic', and strikes me as a perfect fit for pens designed in this manner. The unique triangular bottle is an added bonus - one of the most beautiful ink bottles I know of!
