When I first got into FPs I didn’t like the idea of blue ink, perhaps it was the color of Bic ballpoint blue in elementary school, or that its close to black which I also tend to shy away from, but these days I can’t get enough of the shade! Luckily Robert Oster has just about every blue one can imagine. I picked up Blue Water Ice right on the heels of Soda Pop Blue and Blue Ocean, but I must say this is my favorite of the bunch.
It comes in the standard RO plastic bottle with swab on top.
For this review I decided that my Conid CAISO Kingsize needed some action.

That #sheen tho! It even comes out in normal writing on the edges of the letters, granted my Conid is tuned to be wet. It is saturated with a good amount of shading as well. Definitely one of my favorite Robert Oster blues. It did dry a little slower than other inks, but that is to be expected with higher sheening inks. This may be one that I need 2…or 3 or 4 bottles of ^_^.

Krys, I think it was the cream paper that I ordered with the lavender Colour cover HippoNoto. I will have to try this Blue Ice if you think it tops both the other two inks!! I value your opinion, my friend! Thanks for the help! Please give BIG HUGS to Bones & Bit from their SC family!! God Bless & Love Ya’ll Bunches!!!

That sheen is stunning. All the Robert Oster inks make me turn into Gollum. Next time I have some spare funds, I’m going to have to buy some.

I’ve been trying a sample of the Blue Water Ice and the sheen is spectacular. At first glance, it looks like just another medium blue ink, but of course, as we have come to expect from Robert Oster, there is a lot more to it than that! The sheen and shading are gorgeous. I will be buying a bottle soon. Can’t resist!
