Noodler's Akhmatova
Named after the great the Russian poetess, Anna Akhmatova. Famous and beloved before the Revolution hounded after, until death of Stalin.
On a trip to Paris, she befriended an unknown and impoverished Modigliani, who drew her several times.

She was famous for her signature shawl, even in the height of poverty, she managed to stay regal...
The ink harbours a deep melancholy, recalling that of coniferous forests in the deep of winter under a grey day. It reflect well Akhmatova's soul.

This is one of the best, if not the best eternal ink I have ever tried. The ink is so will lubricated that beckons you not to force the nib but let the pen glide. I could by this ink for the tactility of it. Ink is eternal/ bullet proof/ fluorescent.
The shading is best experienced on white and bright paper. Dry time is super fast. Cleaning nothing was left.
