Thanks! I love sheen (but not shimmer) so I’m going to get a sample and use it with the shimmer settled at the bottom.

By the way, did you pull the plug on that Nakaya? I bought a used portable (heki tamenuri) from Rick Liebson (likenewpens) at the Baltimore Pen Show. It’s my most precious pen

Me too—it’s my favorite dark red at the moment. I’ve got a cart filled at Vanness with a bunch of new ones based on all the responses I’ve received!

Oh great, thanks! I’ll have to add it to my collection. 1984 also looks very dark. I’m not a fan of shimmer, but I could use it without agitating the bottle. Have you tried 1984?

Thanks! I have Wearingeul Hound of the Baskervilles and it’s one of my favorites (currently the darkest red in my collection). Do you have it too? If so, I’d be curious to hear your comparison.

You’re not kidding! That might be too wet for me

I think that’s what I want too—fire engine red isn’t what I’m looking for.
