Ink Review #534: PenBBS #153 Burning of the White House

Today I will be taking a look at PenBBS #153, named after the burning of the White House during the War of 1912. This is a smoky black with gold glitter.

Swabs:

This ink had no shading and gold glitter.

Dry Time/Water Resistance:

This ink had a long dry time of 40 seconds and high water resistance.

Writing Sample:

This ink had an average flow with medium saturation. The ink is well formulated and the glitter doesn’t smear after the ink dries. I also didn’t experience hard starts or skipping with this glitter ink (yay!). The gold particles were evenly spread and subtle.

Overall: This is a pretty black ink with gold glitter. If you are into glittery inks, I definitely recommend trying out this sample. It has the added bonus of being highly water resistant.
