    It makes me smile to actually be able to feel how excited you were for this, when you filmed it.
    Please don't put restraints on yourself and not allow you to be you. It might actually be the commentary makers who need to check if they haven't gotten their nickers in a knot. 😊

    Finding those inks that get you excited is a feeling I just love to experience but I love seeing other people have that feeling even more. This reaction is how I felt when I tried Autumn Oak from Diamine for the first time

    Don't let some one else curb your enthusiasm and joy. If they don't like it they can go elsewhere.

    Ancient Copper is one of my favorites, and so I would probably love that ink. As far as rare inks, I stumbled onto a bottle of Parker Penman Sapphire for super cheap, lol. I contemplated selling it but decided to enjoy it myself - very similar to Diamine Blue Velvet.

    It’s because of you that I’m strongly considering getting my first Benu, the Talisman Four leaf clover. If they just came in extra fine, there’d be no question. That’s a beautiful ink and I’m not normally a fan of red. Don’t stop singing, we all love it.

    A very entertaining video. Hey, it put a smile on my face. There were a couple of " Grail " inks that I had purchased in the past.... Parker penman sapphire & emerald which is freakin' beautiful, lamy dark lilac and the creme de la creme a bottle of Alfred Hitchcock BLOOD RED!
    Word to the wise, I tried to savor every precious drop so that whatever was left in my fountain pen I would purge it back in to the bottle. You guessed it, the ink developed a slime/ sludge like substance and I had to throw the rest of the ink away Came very close to crying I'm not ashamed to say.
    I enjoy your videos especially because you're so down to earth. If others are annoyed or frown down upon your personality that's their problem , if they're unhappy or annoyed then they can just select another video and let the rest of us enjoy your videos.

    It’s fun to see you so excited.
    Does the ink have a sheen, or does it just take a really long time to dry? Seems like when you held the “quick brown fox…” up to the camera it was still wet after a considerable time.

    I kept myself in Par Penman Sapphire until about 2012, gradually somewhat rationing what I used. But when the eBay price when to over about $150 or so, I gave up. There are some reasonable dupes these days.
