Just tried out DeAtrementis Document Ink, Dark Blue in my new Faber-Castell Basic (B). Great ink, incredible pen worth far more than $45.

I'm eagerly awaiting the delivery of Iroshizuku Yama Budo and Fuyu Stogun and some good ole Pilot blue-black.
At the LA Pen Show I picked up a bottle of Stipula Musk Green, and my spouse a bottle of Sailor Jentle Nioi-Sumire.

Here it goes, my first review and from my mobile phone. Hope somebody fond it useful. The empty pages show the bleed.

IIRC Martin from The Writing Desk has previously confirmed that these inks are exactly the same colour and formulation as the Diamine inks of the same/equivalent names. But being 100ml bottles they offer good VFM.

Pilot Iroshizuku Syo-Ro, Shin-Ryoku, Sailor Kobe Kyo-Machi, DeAtramentis Lavender, Noodlers Bad Belted Kingfisher and Turquoise Eel.
Noodlers Liberty's Elysium incoming tomorrow along with an amber Conklin Duragraph. I can't wait!
This thread has kind of died but I will try to get it going again. Today I got Noodlers Bullet Proof Black and Noodlers Zivago. I love the dark black-green of the Zivago. Very nice! The black is utilitarian for me.
I just got the revised J. Herbin Ocean Blue

Franklin-Christoph's new Midnight Emerald, Noir et Bleu, and Dark Chocolate. They'll be here Thursday.
Montblanc Toffee Brown
Just got Diamine Autumn Oak, Pilot Iroshizuku Tsuyu-Kusa, and Diamine Blue Velvet. Blue velvet sure does remind me of Private Reserve Electric DC Blue, just a tad lighter, which is a good thing.

Three new (to me): Iroshizuku Chiku-rin, Sheaffer Peacock Blue, and Sailor Kobe Kounan Maroon #27. I had to do an inventory of bottles (non-sample-vial) of ink before sharing some with a young friend, and was shocked to see that those three put the total at 50. It would have been a great place to stop, but it will have to be 51, because I'm waiting for this:
