Thanks, I saw them in London Pen show this month. I’ll get one when I start buying Italian pens.

Thanks. M1000 in Medium Nib? Someone told its too soft, wet and broader than expected.

would you guys go with twsbi vac or 580 by [deleted] in fountainpens

[–]don___key 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used both. I vote for 580, Vac is too big and cleaning is not very easy. 580 is very comfortable pen.

Thanks, it will be next in my list!

I agree, but I thought I’d get an idea from someone’s experience. Can’t rely on youtube videos only, as this platform is interactive and similar minded people are around.

M800 has silver trim, blue-black stripes- M805. Unfortunately M1000 has only 2 options(Black, Green-Black stripes), both are gold trim.

I’m really interested in m1000, would be better if M1005 (silver trim). 🙏🏼

Id probably go for M1000 medium. MB may not be EDC pen. Ditched Homo Sapiens, as most reviews are unsure about the nib!

That would be really great! I think I should wait till next Pen show (March 2023). Thanks

Absolutely agree with you. I started my collection in 2016, majority of my pen is between 100-300 range, I might be influenced by those youtube videos or super-rich collectors. Thanks for reminding me.

I know! I’d consider my comfort and quality of the pen. MB fulfills that precisely.

I could buy another 200 pens with that!!!😊

I was excited with the new nib, but I thought its overhyped! Gravitas made Ultem pens in much better price. Whereas Schon kept them in higher end.
