J. Herbin, Bleu Nuit, 30ml

I love, love, love this colour. It turns out to be definitely a blue- but it's not like your regular ballpoint blue ink, it's a little darker, and it doesn't stain my hands for days if I get some on me trying to refill my pen. This was my first ink ever, and, well, I'm hooked. No bleedthrough whatsoever, some feathering sometimes- it's not noticeable really- and the drying time is about 3-5 seconds with normal writing. The single downside is that, after filling the converter, it really does not like to start feeding. I have to scribble for a solid 10 minutes to get any colour. Heaven help me if I just cleaned my pen, because the ink that does come out is very diluted for the next page or two. Every time I have to do this I'm thinking, "Well, this is it. This is how my pen dies. I've killed it. It doesn't work." Overall, once it does get writing it just looks so fancy.
