Been a bit quiet as I've been busy and not feeling well, but the new shiver of Sharks I ordered back in February arrived yesterday.

All new colors except black (which is one I had to trash, so that's good for me), half are semi-transparent/translucent, a couple more are slightly translucent.

The nibs are not hooded on these, and the sections are completely round. Both seem like downgrades to me. I liked the hooded nibs.

I'll clean at least one and test it when spoons replenish.

We bought several in 2018 and they're not hooded. Maybe they just use what they have leftover from other designs.
