Berlin Notebook Blue No. 1 is a curious name! The brand is Berlin Notebook and the ink is called Blue No. 1. The ink is a ‘super sheener’ but most interestingly the ink also can be bought sans sheen! Berlin Notebook Blue No. 1 BLACK LABEL is a reformulation of the ink colour (almost) without the sheen. I don’t have this sans-sheen ink but I might look into it down the track. Berlin Notebook also, unsurprisingly, make notebooks but I haven’t tried those! Berlin Notebook Blue No. 1 (with sheen) also comes in a tiny 5ml bottle.
