Hello! I just wanted to thank you for this review, which was really helpful to me. I've been given one of these beautiful pens for my birthday and am just waiting for the delivery of the particular ink that I want to use in it, so I haven't been able to try it yet. I'm getting impatient :)

UK-based pen fan. I love beautiful ink bottles, sealing wax, scented inks, and sending mail art. Also, thanks to a wonderful custom-ground nib by forum member Bardiir, I'm currently attempting calligraphy after years of not being able to do so due to having an odd pen-grip :D

To this and others, my apologies for the big hiatus. As noted I am young and I believe in the video I just started college and been going at it since then so anyway:

 

At the time I bought the pen directly from TWSBI because originally I wanted to buy it from the Goulet Pen Company however they were out of the Fine. I'll do a post-usage report some time later (Finals for me), but I love how springy the nib is (I doubt it's the Rose Gold plating). You could get decent line variation but nowhere near a Noodler's or Fountain Pen Revolution Flex. The supply should still be there as of this writing for both the Goulet's and TWSBI.

 

Also suggestion, use one of the J. Herbin Anniversary inks, I love seeing the sparkles swirl around in the barrel (and the ease of taking it apart alleviates any potential clogging problems). For me with a blue ink inside (54th Massachusetts at the moment), I call it the Atlantis Pen or Kida (after Kida of Disney's "Atlantis: The Lost Empire").

Thanks for that info - I'm now the proud owner of a bottle of Bleu Océan and of Rouge Hematite, but I've been hesitant to deploy them in my TWSBI 540/480 pens. Sounds like I should give it a go!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
