Montblanc White Forest (ink review)

I bought this bottle from The Goulet Pen Company. I like this shop very much. The service is great and the owner is very committed to keep you satisfied. I am looking for an ink that has a dark color but is not black. I ordered this one because the swaps looked promising.


Color
The color is green/brown and very dark. It has a lot of shading. In my opinion it is more dark green then dark brown.

Sheaffer Red (ink review)

This really surprising bottle of ink I bought in Groningen (in the Northern part of the Netherlands close by where we live) in a store called "De Vulpenwereld" (translation: "Fountain Pen World").
