I tried to buy a red Eco but my local dealer told me they were all sold and would not make them anymore.😒

TWSBI's website still has the Rosso. And a search shows many dealers saying they are in stock.

Will work for pens... :unsure:

That red is amazing. It is available in the Eco T. 

 

There are so many colors to choose from. Right now, I have a TN Vols theme going on, but will soon have a Samford Bulldogs theme, too.

  The one that made me bite on TWSBI- indigo and bronze. If a blue and rose gold ever happens, I’ll probably buy that one too. So far, I have really enjoyed the writing experience.

  I really like the color of the dark sapphire, but I am not enamored with the trim. This is one of those that I would have to see in person to see if I like it.

Thank you for the information, I will try to buy it from a different dealer.

I have three Ecos: white, black and clear, bought for compatibility with any color.

 

Missed out on all the cool colors, like turquoise and orange.

My latest ebook.   And not just for Halloween!
 

My other pen is a Montblanc.

The true orange, called Heat, is still available. It is a newish release.

I have to go rosso. I'm a sucker for a redhead. I do also like the indigo/bronze one.

😱
This image fills me with Terror!

‘Redheaded’ people give me The Fear.

 

I’m a ‘carrier’ of one copy of the relevant gene(s) myself.
So perhaps my Fear is not a ‘bug’ in my ‘code’, but is instead actually a ‘feature’; one that has ‘evolved-in’ as a way to ‘nudge’ the individuals who express it away from the perilous waters of in-breeding? 🤷‍♂️

 

To be honest though, I expect that it probably is a ‘bug’ - there are enough other flaws in my ‘code’ to make that explanation the much-more-likely one 😞

Oh, there are plenty of redheaded women whom I find to be attractive, or even very attractive!


But the ones who I have, er, got close to, somehow don’t smell ‘right’ to me 🤷‍♂️
There are also aspects of their skin colouring that actually scare me off 😔

 

This trait of mine is very annoying for me, because it artificially (needlessly?) reduces the number of women whom I could actually date :doh:
And it’s not as though a bum like me needs there to be any further reduction in the size of that particular, very small, ‘pool’! 😁

That's why they make cherry and pistachio ice cream. Something (someone) for everyone.

This one .... Eco Irish Green with Onyx.

As soon as saw the pen, I knew I wanted it.

Do I need it, no. I have about 15 TWSBI's.

There's just something about the color

combination.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      By Misfit · Posted

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
