Ink Review #308: Sailor Jentle Blue-Black

Today I’ll be reviewing Sailor Jentle Blue-Black. This is the non-pigmented version of Sailor Sou Boku.

Swabs:

This ink had low shading and low red sheen. The color is a pleasant blue-black and is similar to Sailor Sou Boku.

I’m a fan of Sailor Sou Boku (I always have one pen religiously inked with it) so I was not surprised to like Jentle Blue-Black. It had a smooth, consistent flow and behaved wonderfully in my architect nib. The color is pleasant and quite professional.

Overall: This is a great blue-black. It’s well behaved with a good flow, shading/sheen, and a good amount of water resistance. It also flies under the radar and can be used at work or school.
