Prussian Blue, by Diamine.
The ink flows well. It's Diamine.
I like this subtle blue-grey. It's just powdery enough to be interesting and just blue enough to still be pretty. It doesn't make my heart leap. But it makes my heart sit in a calm space and read a book I've already read and know I love.
Every time I try a new Diamine ink I am like "...why do we have all those other ink companies when Diamine is way cheaper and also better?"
Yet I buy the other inks anyway.
6/10.

I have a bias here: I strongly dislike Thoreau. Like, the person. So smug, so navel-gazing, so absolutely supported entirely by his unnoticed mother. So it's hard for this ink not to kind of have a petulant-entitled-man-child aura about it for me.
I admit though - it's a cool ink. I don't know how anyone could disagree with that. It is a serious mix of colors, they all shine separately, and it shades insanely. It's in a class of its own.
I just don't... quite... like the color? I come very close to liking it sometimes, but I haven't bought an actual bottle of it, and I doubt I ever will.
Now, of course, I want to.
6/10.
