IT guy by profession, Fountain pen geek and bibliophile by passion. Accumulator of fountain pens and books. Analog guy in an increasingly digital world - trying to figure out life. A confused soul in pursuit of inner peace. INTJ. An anomaly and an anachronism. Welcome to my blog on writing (with fountain pens), reading and my clueless pursuit of inner peace.

Finally - A proper wax seal
Finally got a wax seal that does not look ugly or burnt or in any way distorted. Photos below of both my wax seal and the output.

Currently Inked: Gama Airborne XT with Camel Violet and Gama Revolution with GZ Boss Chinese Ink
The first pen is the Gama Airborne XT with a Schmidt nib unit. It is inked with a Sudhir Kalyanikar special violet ink made by mixing two Camel Inks - so I call the ink Camel Violet.
The second pen is the Gama Revolution with a Jowo 1.1 mm stub nib. This is inked with a Chinese Blue-Black ink of the GZ Boss brand.
From what I could find, this ink is made by the Guizhou Boss Enterprise (Guiyang Boss Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.).
They make two types of inks - LaoBan & Yingkesi. Based on the description I found online, I believe this is the Yingkesi blue-black fragrant ink.
