This morning it was the purple 580-ALR (1.1 mm stub) with diluted Diamine Shimmer Arabian Nights).

"It's very nice, but frankly, when I signed that list for a P-51, what I had in mind was a fountain pen."

I almost bought a Pelikan 205 but changed my mind after reading a lot of discussions on here and bought an Eco which should have arrived by the time I get home in a week and I’ve literally just ordered a 580 AL both M Nibs as I’m left handed. Looking forward to using them.

Can anyone explain how to remove an Eco nib? Is it just the nib or nib and feed.

 

Get a soft towel, and grab the nib from its sides. Pull out. It's that simple. Make sure you grab the nib from its sides, as the fins on the feed are very fragile.

I just switched over from a Sailor Pro Gear to a broad TWSBI Eco because of nib issues. I'm really enjoying this pen. Initially it was a little dry, but I adjusted it slightly and now it's perfect. I'm using my favorite ink, Sailor Blue.

      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
