Review Title: GvF-C Cobalt Blue

Beautiful bottle with a sizeable opening for all my pens. The colour is just as it is named, cobalt blue. The flow is great, it is friendly to paper (Moleskine plain 70gsm) with not bleed through. I have to say my fine nib L2K wrote as good as or better than ever :)

Anyways, I can highly recommend the ink for anyone looking for a good blue with excellent properties in water and light resistance that is friendly to the paper.

Appelboom service and delivery was as usual delightful :)

I have bought Moss Green, which is a really nice foresty green. I have been looking for a perfect green ink for some time, and after trying many inks, this is the one I have been looking for. And the bottle is really nice, perfect to put it on working desk in office.

The ink is brilliant. Not too wet, not too dry. The bottle looks amazing too. Nothing to say apart from recommending the purchase!

Review Title: Balanced black ink

The carbon black variant I have always used is a very deep black, and is a good balance of wet and dry. It does not bleed through on cheaper papers like for example Mont Blanc permanent black does. It is slightly wetter, however, than Lamy black.

Review Title: Moss Green

I got the Moss Green, which is a very nice dark green.
Well behaved ink, no feathering nor bleeding with a stub nib on Clairefontained paper.
It comes in a very nice glass bottle, which comes in a nice carton box (protection from natural light). The bottle has a wide neck, so most pens should fit.
A bit pricey for me but very nice overall.

I use Cobalt Blue to sign. Ink flow is so well, the bottle is awesome. I love colour and bottle.

You don't buy a bottle of ink for the bottle, don't you? For this particular bottle, well, you could. It looks awesome, it is bold and heavy, impressive.

Hazelnut brown. I love warm browns, and I love that very brown. It is very well behaved, easy to clean, great shading with a wet broad nib. Not cheap tho.

Fantastic looking presentation- Both the box and especially the bottle. Part of the allure of the purchasing ink is the overall presentation and Faber-Castell is second to none. As of the ink it is very smooth. I inked up a sailor 1911 (14K nib fine) and a Pilot Metro (nib fine) and both pens wrote effortlessly. The ink behaved flawlessly with both pens. The clean up was very easy. This ink is a bit pricey but very worth every drop. Plus you get to keep a exquisite bottle for display. Highly Recommend!!!!
