On May 20, 2016 my Crystal Blue Platinum Cool (Fine) joined its comrades when it was filled with Diamine Aqua Lagoon. The pen was in use for 3 months and was emptied and cleaned on August 22, 2016, saying good-bye to its fellows.

Thoughts Before Filling

I’ve fallen in love with turquoise ink, and I’m a little perplexed that I have some bottles I’ve not yet used. My current Japanese fine nib is about to rotate out and I’ve been enjoying that width lately, so when I realized it had been a while since I had used my Platinum Cool it was an easy decision to fill it with a turquoise ink and write to my heart’s content.

Thoughts After Cleaning the Pen

I loved this combination! In fact, I’m a little sad I am retiring it, but I found that Aqua Lagoon is too close to Omi Osun for them to both be in use at the same time, and this pen went empty first. I do expect to return to this combination again though.
