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. 🤷‍♀️

      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
