Quick hit: Noodler's 54th Massachusetts

[azkid]

I like blue-black and I cannot lie...



My first Noodler's ink arrived in a Goulet vial. It'$ very pleasant to use in my Montblanc 221 (EF). The nib feels lubricated and slick over the page unlike some inks.

Flow is good and line with is wider than with some inks.

I couldn't resist the blue-grey color and it is actually fairly similar in tone to Diamine Twilight but much lighter. Far lighter than the Goulet swatch led me to expect unfortunately.

As a bonus this happens to be a Bulletproof document ink.

Dry times are lightning fast, less than 5 sec on Apica. It behaves well on Clairefontaine and my crap notepad paper with no feathering at all.

Multi pass shows distinct differences and lightness also varies with flow. If I am not careful with pressure I get inconsistent shading word to word, with this pen.

It may come out darker with a wetter pen and, if so, I might consider it for long term use. Otherwise I'd just as soon use Diamine Registrar's Blue-black though.
