Four months ago I posted about this quirky #fountainpen I popped into my shopping cart on impulse one night while grabbing some supplies on Amazon.
Well, after that original post I didn’t use the pen. I put it away in a case and I forgot about it. Recently, I bought a new, large #pencase and moved most of my pens into that case. While I was doing so, I realized I had a bunch of pens that had been sitting around, inked, but unused, including this one.
Last night I pulled out ten pens (five Parker 51 clones, #Lamy Safari, #Hongdian M2 Brass, Hongdian C1, #TWSBI Eco and this Wilknd) to clean out.
Of the pens I pulled out: 2 Parker 51 clones, the Lamy, and the Hongdian M2 Brass had dried out / failed to write. But the Wilknd, the one that was in the case the longest (except for the TWSBI and Lamy) worked immediately. After four months that pen was writing up a storm like I had just filled it and started using it.
Just goes to show: name brand isn’t everything. Even the cheapest, no-name pen can perform as well as, and possibly better than a brand name pen.

Naturally, I caved and decided to gamble on the TWSBO ECO Fluorite/Bronze. It is a little pinker than I'd hoped, but there are some nice dark spots of red and purple and some good marbling/swirls.
Still trying to figure out what to ink it with. Leaning toward Colorverse Milky Way (the pen I have that in now is getting low). If I didn't have T&L Antares in another nearly full ECO, I'd be using that instead.

@penfount @fontainpen drawing of the day with #TWSBI Eco and Eco T (1.1 and EF nibs). Black is #carbonink and yellow is #liquidraw ink in a pilot #parallelpen 2.4mm (both are working like a charm: using them since last summer without clogging issues with yellow ink, black liquidraw clogged my other parallel pens, however).

Just having fun with #twsbi and #parallelpen

@penfount @fountainPen
Very happy with my #twsbi eco #fountainpen
I use it with #carbonink
The yellow parts are done using a #parallelpen with yellow waterproof ink. -

Quick update. It's a Sunday, but I already got a response from TWSBI requesting my shipping address and a PayPal payment of $7 USD for shipping, and then confirmation that the payment had been received and shipping info will be posted tomorrow. Color me impressed!

My TWSBI Vac 700R fell victim to the resin cracks that TWSBI pens are known for. The pen is just barely two years old, and has always been in a case when not in active use. I'll let y'all know if their customer service is as good as I've heard!

Just inked my foutain pen with the Inkvent calendar ink for December 25 🌸 It is called Myrrh the Merrier and is a dark blue ink with shimmer and a reddish. It is not unique by any stretch of the imagination but it is very beautiful.
The pen is TWSBI Diamond 580 with a broad nib and it is coping well with the shimmer and sheen in the ink.
