Fountain Ink - Noodler's Aircorp Blue Black
When I graduated middle school, my mom gifted me a fountain pen (a Waterman Phileas). It was a symbolic gift, for sure; what high schooler in the year 2000 was going to use a fountain pen in school? I used it from time to time, but just with the prefilled ink cartridges and sometimes with long breaks between uses. It occasionally got beat up, dropped, and inexpertly adjusted by myself. But it stuck around.
I have been writing with Noodler’s Aircorp Blue Black for almost a year now, and I love it. Blue black is really kind of a lie; the colored element of Aircorp is more green or teal. It leaves a wonderful impression. In the wrong light, it can be so dark that you just feel the hint of color, tickling the back of your brain as you try to nail it down. In better light or larger swatches, the color is beautiful without being overpowering. When you wet it, a good deal of blue does bleed out, so it must be an element in there somewhere.
