Diamine Vermillion is a bright yet surprisingly deep ink, and I like it.

Okay, maybe not flexible, but certainly it is soft—soft enough to get some beautiful variation out of it. But heck, it’s not even an I-P-G nib. In my best Kahn Souphanousinphone voice, “I SEE NO ‘G’!”
It’s remarkably thinner than my other IPG nibs. There’s a lot of tipping material, which makes me think this one might actually be from Germany (I’ve seen real German “IPG” nibs with no “G” before).
The pen it’s on is an interesting Ohto Dude. Definitely a pleasurable writing experience! The ink is Noodler’s Walnut.

Not every ink needs to last through a nuclear winter.
Parker Washable Blue is a soft, gorgeous blue. Saturation is on the low-side, but it works for the ink. I definitely recommend trying this.
