New Ink

Yesterday I was in Chicago(to pick up my son's new bicycle) and stopped by the MontBlanc store to window shop, test a few pens and buy some ink. The ink color I bought is their Oyster Grey.....very nice!!!

I don't know if I can get behind Grey ink Leo....the one's i've seen look to me like washed out black. Do you have any color samples you can share??

That's cool, Leo. I'd also like to see some writing samples. I have seen some grays that look pretty good.

The Oyster Grey is one ink I'd really like to get but the local MB stores still haven't got it as they won't import them until their existing stock is depleted.
I have a suspicion that it is not as nice as the BRG, but we'll see.

I will have to post examples but I happen to like gray regardless of whether some think it looks like washed out black.....to me it's a cool color and one I will use along with Bordeaux!!!
Please understand that gray has been a color of choice for me the last few years so I'm happy to find a good one.....

Hey Leo, I hope you don't think i was knocking your color choice....I was just saying I'd need to see it before I'd use it.

Justin, of course not...I'm not offended at all and I saw and used the ink twice before I bought it!!!

They have it at the local MB boutique and I was thinking about getting some but I'd like to kick the tires before purchase. Look forward to the samples, Leo.
