For me it's Noodler's Baystate Blue. This picture doesn't do it justice. I can't stop comparing other blues to it. And even comparing how much a color speaks to me comparatively. When I flip through my journal, every time I hit a BSB page I stop and just admire the ink. If I had to choose one ink for the rest of my life it would be BSB even with all the issues with staining and maintenance and even with having to dilute it to make it stop feathering. I don't think there's a color I have seen that I like better. BSB speaks to my soul.

Edit: I would love to see swatches or writing examples if you have them!!

My frosted black Asvine V126 came in today. I ordered it in a 1.1 Stub. It writes beautifully. The cap is about perfect. Comes off in 1 turn. I also got some Diamine's Oxblood. Im super excited about the pen but i was hoping for a bit more of the red to come through on the Oxblood. I already have a big bottle of Writer's Blood, but everytime I saw Writers Blood and Oxblood beside each other there was a fairly hotidible difference. But on my Japanese Muji paper (not shown as the writing was personal stuff) they look way closer than I thought they would. I will still happily use it but was hoping for a bit more red from it. BTW its shown on a generic 100gsm paper notebook from the store Ansopu from Amazon.
