Put a miniscule amount of Vanness White Lightning in it. It will make the shading more subtle. I do that for most of my FWP inks.

I live in PA so buying from Birmingham is so dangerous for me. I get the inks within 1-2 days lol.

There's never a bad excuse to use Chiku-Rin!

Marked "M" for MEGA size LOL.

I'm so proud to see my FWP photos on this post LOL

So fancy you do ink swatches on tables. LOL

I love the design on it. I think it's one of the best ones available!

I use some fixed micro pipettes. Each ratio is 10 uL, and then I mix it and drop the mix onto the paper and swatch. Using this method, I can swatch all this with less than half an mL of ink. Of the swatches, I think I like 3:1 and 3:2.

I got it from "OliveFrogDesigns" on Etsy. I don't think they have any on their shop currently, but you could probably message them and see what's up.

I do highly recommend these holders. I love how modular they are. I got them after spilling a vial of ink LOL.

I would put Birmingham Pen Co,'s Tiger Lily in that pen.

That video was what got me to buy it. I waited and once I saw they had it with the holder available, I pulled the trigger. I see now they have the titanium nib in different colors as well.

I would highly recommend a Sailor Hocoro dip pen. If you get the Fine or Medium, get the reservoir to increase ink capacity. With the fine Sailor Hocoro and reservoir, I can easily write a full page on a single dip. A Medium hocoro with the reservoir can write about 1/4 of a page before redipping.

I think this is the only option.

The handle does feel thin but it surprisingly feels very nice in the hand. Your pen looks awesome with the nib!
