You guys should do an inkvent calendar too, it'd be fun! Even if it's just sample sizes to keep the price down, I bet a lot of people would thoroughly enjoy it

[nicolethompson]

I wish you guys would come out with a random ink sample advent calendar for the next holiday season.

Super happy to see Diamine Writer's Blood top the list! I bought my first two Diamine inks in 2021, and they were Aurora Borealis and Writer's Blood (unfortunately they didn't have Earl Grey in stock to complete the three Diamine Reddit inks). Absolutely fell in love with Writer's Blood.

Pretty incredible stuff. When I was writing with fountain pens several years ago, I thought it was an obscure dying art...it is Amazing what you have accomplished " unification of art and life" congratulations on your success and promoting a fantastic tool for expressing art, and ultimately works of art themselves...needless to say I be ordering soon....

What a delight to start New Year’s Eve morning —which also happens to be my 79th Birthday— with the top 5 Hottest inks and Brian’s continued creativity for long winded intros accompanied by Drew’s mugging. Thank’s guys and May 2022 be a Great Year for both of you and your families and of course GP Co.. P.S. Hon. Mention. Em of Chivor Yes! Yesterday I took out a Ranga Ebonite bodied, 1970s Sheaffer steel inlayed B italic, gave it 20 sec gentle agitation, and signed with a short note, a belated Christmas card with E of C. Insane red sheen and loads of sparkle. —I am not sure when I last inked the pen, but I think last Christmas! A great ink.

I appreciate you guys making timestamps for your videos. Especially the podcast ones. It’s the little things like that that make you such a great company. Small conveniences to make peoples experience just a little bit better.

Love, love, love my 2021 Diamine Inkvent calendar - there were so many wonderful colors that I would never have tried otherwise.

When Michael Jecks reviewed Diamine Writer's Blood, he said he could see bits of gold, and that threw me off because I thought it was a shimmering ink.

He must have meant bits of gold SHEEN! ⭐.

Writer’s Blood is a lovely ink and worthy of the top spot. I hope it’s OK to mention them here, as I believe they’re exclusive to a UK retailer, but I have really enjoyed using Diamine’s ‘Deep Dark’ series this year. Deep Dark Brown and Deep Dark Green, in particular. Happy New Year all!

[BethWade]

Another very fun list and vid- thanks! I really hope Diamine releases some of those Inkvent calendar colors- they look gorgeous!

[michaelmedlinger]

Love Writer‘s Blood! And Golden Beryl is the only shimmer ink I have found that consistently turns in a brilliant performance. Just great!
Thanks for another insanely interesting and disturbingly captivating video. Happy New Year!

[lois-annakaminski]

Thanks for the video guys! Honestly, that Diamine inkvent calendar got me through December. It gave me something to look forward to in the cold dark mornings - a new ink to play with while enjoying a coffee. And I'm glad that my two current favourite inks, Herbin's Emeraude de Chivor and Private Reserve's Pearlescent Violet-Silver, were in the Top 5 as well. Thank you for your amazing customer service, and have a very happy new year.

I just picked up a bottle of Writer’s Blood yesterday then saw this video today. I’m feeling good about my pick. Great video.

[PAScott-cjpt]

Nice list. The "problem" with inks is that there are lots of really nice ones. My collection of them keeps growing....

[pbsnoosk]

I was so happy to see there was a new video!!! Thank you so much! Happy New

[nancymcnee]

How could we not want all these inks! I've made a list and will try to figure out what to snag first! Thanks for the fun list - Although Brian stretching out #1 was cruel!

[shbondful]

Normally I’m not partial to red, but the name alone dictated procurement of Writer’s Blood. I was surprised by how much I liked writing with it and how it looked on paper. I’m a big fan of Diamine on the whole, only ever had one ink from them disappoint, so the between the range and the affordability brand has slowly come to be most of my ink collection.

I would like to see a video with the Goulet top 5's but also with the other retailer top 5's. Maybe have a Collab with other retailers.
