I'm enjoying it very much. It's hefty but well balanced. The finish is interesting. Not quite as white as I was expecting, but a nice mix of icy, wintery colors.
I'm mainly a fountain pen guy, but these machined ballpoint/roller/gel pens have made some inroads of late.
Here's another pic under different lighting.

Thank you! I will likely purchase before the end of March.
Agreed, I prefer FP's. A TT rollerball is not a bad alternative, and at times it is more useful....especially when I need to jot quickly on low quality paper!

Sorry for the double reply
Just turned off my screen "eye shield", which is a blue light filter I think
You described the icy mix well, looks great!

Of course the color is slightly different. The old one was a dark purple shading into yellowish green, and the new is a more emerald color.
I prefer the new actually. And for ~ $20.00 I may buy another bottle.
I have a medium nibbed TWSBI Eco I think it’s going in.
Also yesterday was cleaning day. A good dry overnight and these are getting greased and inked this evening.

A short soak of this stuff.
An hour or so soaking in distilled water. Several flushes with a bulb.
Final soak in distilled water. Then overnight drying on a paper towel with the nib positioned to pull water out of the pen.
