Ink Shot Review: Noodler's Blue Upon The Plains of Abraham @CarolLuxury @_WonderPens

Thank you to my buddy over in Canada for sending this ink over for me to check out! Yay Canada!

ABOUT

Color: Blue
Bottle: 3 oz/90 ml
Price: $16.50
Where to buy: Wonder Pens

PROS

• Bulletproof.
• Eternal.
• That means it's waterproof, and will last against bleach, sunlight, and other weird things. (Boil it in vinegar?)
• Bottle is full to the max - a lot of ink for your buck!
• You get a neat, unique label.
• No feathering! Nice.

CONS

• Canadian exclusive - can't find it everywhere.
• Smells weird. Based on that smell, I'm not tasting it either.
• Practice proper pen maintenance when using this ink - clean those pens!

OVERALL

Noodler's offers a lot of colors, and there are a lot of blues to choose from, however, I was pleasantly surprised to find this one was rather lovely. Hey, sometimes you need a pretty waterproof ink.

This ink was sent as a gift from a friend, but I am not obligated to review it! I thought it would be neat, though.

PROS

• Gorgeous, dark ink. 
• Fantastic name, obviously.
• Color shifts a little but has some water resistance.

Actually, this is pretty gorgeous. I really like it and it's close to Sailor Bungbox 4B, which I really like.

Ink Shot Review: Noodler's Luxury Blue @CarolLuxury @GouletPens

ABOUT

Color: Blue
Bottle: 1 oz/30 ml
Price: $13.50USD
Where to buy: Goulet Pens

PROS

• A safe, work-appropriate blue.
• Waterproof.
• Fast drying times. 

CONS

• Some bleeding on paper.
• Not much shading.
• Somewhat dry.

OVERALL

This isn't my favorite blue, but it is waterproof, and it dries fast. Sometimes, you just need that. This bottle will last me awhile.

I received this item free of charge, but was not asked to review it. I was not compensated monetarily for my review. Everything you've read here is my own opinion.
