And having left the pacemaker to do all the work, he screeches around the outside at the last minute and takes the flag...

Honey Burst it is All the information I'd seen about it suggested it would be much lighter and yellower than it actually is, and it's actually a really nice, usable ink - especially in a nib with some variation. Highly recommended (if you like inks in the orangeish family of course)

The first rule of Guess the Ink is: don't talk about Guess the Ink
The second rule of Guess the Ink is: always let Yazeh do the heavy lifting

Now to see what I have inked up and ready to go...watch this space.

Here we are. This is a blue ink, so I think you deserve a few hints right off the bat.

It's slightly more expensive than Waterman Florida Blue.
I love the writing experience with this ink.
It's a horribly guilty pleasure because I bought it when I was looking for a "true blue." It is not a true blue, but I love the colour notwithstanding.

I dipped the pen, so the first two lines are quite wet, while the third line shows a more typical colour, including shading.

Good luck!
