My first TWSBI arrived yesterday. It's an Eco M, transparent, inked up with Waterman Blue Black ink.

[jslallar]

580 stubs 1.1 & 1.5 mm.

beautiful pens and nibs

packed two MB 146s out of rotation and filled up these two.

I like to write with my pens posted. MBs do not post well but can be posted not so with these pens. that is the only thing I feel lacking in these pens. otherwise good build quality heft and weight size and girth.

Since you have a nice collection of TWSBIs, could you tell us which one came with the best nib. I only have one ECO M. It seems a little bit on the dry side for me. However, I love the pen from a comfort point of view.

Did you see this video from TWSBI about adjusting ink flow?

 

[DanielleE]

 

I just tried squeezing the nib as shown in the video. It might have made a difference. I will see how it does as write off and on during the day tomorrow. With the ECO pen nib (smaller than the one shown in the video), you cannot squeeze the nib sides very much before you start hitting the feeder.

Lava 580 AL, medium nib, Diamine Autumn Oak. In that Halloween spirit this month

[Flaxmoore]

Clear 700, refitted with a Goulet 1.1 stub. Took it from meh to astoundingly good- the feed is nicely wet for the ink, and it writes smooth as silk. I don't really trust this pen- broke a feed tube once, and the history of cracking- but for now it's excellent.

Diamond 580 Clear EF with Blackstone Barrier reef blue. I just love the combination.

Vac 700 Amber Fine with Pilot blue black ink.

[Beechwood]

Borrowed by sons Lime Eco, the barrel has been stained with Diamine Blue, running some different inks through the pen with solvent to try and clear the staining.

[AmandaW]

A green Pilot Metropolitan CM with Mont Blanc Irish Green. Driving me nuts because it's not great on the Clairefontaine paper in the book I use as a journal, while it works perfectly on the more absorbant scribble pad paper.

[avlisyar]

TWSBI Micarta with a JoWo Broad CI ground by FPnibs.

 

Just love it!

[Aminah]

Just arrived today 😁. Along with Diamine ink in Marine. Broad nib.

 

TWSBI Eco

[Dattebayo]

I have my TWSBI Mini Gold and my White Eco today, both with 1.1mm staub. I wish my TWSBI Mini would work better with shimmering inks, because they clog all the time with them, but my two Eco's do great with them.

Diamond 540 saffire extra fine with Sailor jentle 4 seasons. souten

[fuddmain]

Vac 700R Clear 1.1 Stub with Sailor Kiwa-Guro. Love it!

[Arotaes]

TWSBI 580AL in Rose (F), loaded with Roher & Kligner Scabiosa. Funny story, I think I actually own the last Rose Fine model Goulet sold, since it went right out of stock after I bought it.
