    Default Lunchtime ink review: Diamine Earl Grey

    Lunchtime ink reviews! I'm taking one ink to work each day and doing one of these during my lunch.

    Diamine Earl Grey, dip test with TWSBI Eco 1.1mm stub, on Rhodia dotpad.

    A warm, slightly reddish grey. Definitely suits wetter nibs - I've tried it with my Sailor fine and while you do get some shading there, I find it less interesting.

    Nice review! D. Earl Grey was produced by a member of the fountain pen subreddit in Reddit.com and the name was chosen by voting.

    Yup! I voted in at least one of the rounds (though I can't remember exactly what for...)

    I got a bottle of this great ink a while back and it's a firm favourite. Great review.
