The Frankfurt is a bit warmer than Lex Grey and also waterproof. The Document Green is a nice cool dark green. I really like the Australia which is a brownish, purplish dusty red. I can see sketching the red rock country of the Southwest with it. All 3 are waterproof. I was using a glass dip pen to try them out.

Wow, that Platinum certainly did pass the ultimate idle-time test!

That's certainly the case for Hero pens. I chuckled over your comments of "Tina’s initial idiosyncratic impressions." Like you, I have very low tolerance for pens that don't perform.<br /><br />I might have done the ultimate idle-time test of the Platinum Carbon pen and ink. I "lost" mine sometime during late summer. This morning I was cleaning up and found that the darn thing was hiding in a pocket of a jacket I rarely wear. After at least four months it wrote without fail.<br /><br />Cheers --- Larrylarryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499637631503513759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220865105573981879.post-62288203636560429792015-01-03T10:47:30.977-08:002015-01-03T10:47:30.977-08:00You're welcome, Arlene -- I'm glad that my...You're welcome, Arlene -- I'm glad that my reviews are useful!
