on salePilot Iroshizuku Fuyu-syogun - 50ml Bottled Ink

I love this ink!
I ordered it for the LAMY Aubergine, and they do compliment each other.
When dry, the ink reminds me of writing with a #3 pencil.
The ink dries fast and goes down semi wet.
I have a few Pilot inks and I will continue to replenish them as time goes on.

This is a lovely color and has become my go to for every day use.

Great ink, a little more bluish gray than silver gray. Darker than silver. Great color and ink though.

I bought this ink expecting a graphite gray, which I like very much. But, on a whim, I didn't ink one of the XF, F-nib pens I usually use, but rather a medium cursive italic. And what I got wasn't graphite, but a stunning blue-grey. I've checked reviews on other sites, and what I've found is that when swabbed or dripped onto paper, this ink has much more blue than it does when laid down with a medium or finer nib. When laid down with a cursive italic on my usual Clairefontaine paper, this ink has a chilly, austere, serious look to it. I use it at work all the time. I have only about 30 bottles of ink in my office, but of those 30, I use this one and Akkerman Delft Blue about 90 percent of the time. I use it only in a couple of pens with italic nibs because it doesn't show up as well with a fine nib, so those pens have become my de facto favorite pens. No matter. I love this ink.

A very pretty ink- it flows well, and dries quickly. It's probably my second favorite ink. No more smears in my bullet journal!
