Robert Oster Tranquility
/
Robert Oster Tranquility-I've been using it for about two months, and I always have a pen inked up with it. I bought my bottle at Goulet Pens. The bottles are great. They aren't necessarily the most attractive bottles, like Montblanc's, but they are super effective. While Sailor Jentle's ink bottles are short and squat, these bottle are tall and skinny-perfect for filling fountain pens.
The color:
Tranquility is an amazing teal, with a pink sheen. On some papers it looks more blue, and others it looks more green. Seasonally, I would use this in the winter. On the swab, it looks a lot brighter than it does in everyday writing.
The sheen shows through on Tomoe River paper, mainly around the edges.

The closest ink to Tranquility is Diamine Steel Blue.
Pen: Edison Nouveau Premier Seaglass Spring 2016 Edition, medium nib. I love this pen. It's beautiful and with this ink it writes super smooth.
Overall, this is my favorite ink I have ever tried. The color is amazing, the sheen is gorgeous, and I love the shading. I'm so in love with this ink. I can't wait to try out more of Robert Oster's lineup. I have two more bottles that I will be reviewing in the next week, but I wish I had a bottle of every color to review.
