I was lucky enough to receive a sample of Noodler’s Zhivago in the mail a few weeks ago. I have so many ink samples, its hard to pick which ones to review first so I did a random grab and this one was the one to go next. I am not normally inclined to fill…

Ink Drop: November 2013
I am so sorry I completely missed/forgot/skipped the Goulet Pens Ink Drop for November 2013. It was filled with colors that could be used for Christmas, unless, of course, you’re me and use green all year long. I also quite like reds so let’s call this my January Ink Drop and move on. The inks…
