What Twsbi You Are Using Today?

4 x 580's: 1 with a 1.5 stub, 2x ALR's with a 1.1 stub, 1x AL with a 1.1 stub.

 

Love the stubs. My first 580ALR I bought with an EF nib. The pen wrote okay for the nib width. My second was with a 1.1 stub and caused me to buy more as well as upgrade the EF to a 1.1.

 

The 1.5 is filled with a shimmering ink (Diamine Peacock Flare) which I used for writing special notes, headings in a journal, etc. The others are part of my daily writing rotation and each have Diamine - Aurora Borealis, Ancient Copper, and Sherwood Green.

I’m using the TWSBI Eco in black with Sailor Bungubox Ink of the Witch, which one of my brothers kindly bought for me. The Eco has the 1.1mm stub nib.

Today I have the Swipe (M) and 580(B stub) inked with Iroshizuku Kon Peki and Pennonia Orgona respectively. I actually like the latter better with a narrower nib which caught me off guard a little.

I got a Vac Mini, I failed, the urge was just so strong. It didn't disappoint at all, love the ink capacity, love the design and the nib is wonderful. The nib has a bit of feedback, however still smooth enough for my liking. I am loving it and thinking about purchasing another TWSBI in the near future after my 6 months purchasing ban. TWSBI is exceptional.

EF nibs!!!

Decided to ink up my ECO with a broad nib with Noodler's Apache Sunset. It was that time again to use orange inks.

I have a TWSBI ECO White in Rose Gold with a Fine nib. I inked up with FWP Blushing Mushroom but I'm not liking the way it writes. I think it might be the ink/nib combo. Maybe it would be better if I used a standard ink rather than a shimmer ink. 🤷‍♀️

TWSBI Persian Green with a Kirk Speer needlepoint grind, filled with Diamine Onyx Black. Just a dream to write and draw with. This grind and this pen is like my forever pairing. It's just so-oooooo smooth!

Diamond 530 fine purchased in 2010. Near mint condition as it has been used sparingly and gingerly. Very smooth and fits the hand nicely.

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
