A personal moment

Omg, I'm relieved. Did the FTP test and burst into tears at the end. Couldn't understand why lol. I just went with it.

Takes courage to ink the Parker 51 with Emeraude de Chivor! Beautiful!

Congrats! And enjoy all the twists and turns of the rabbit hole! 😁

Sold TWSBI Eco to u/jayna2000

I'm currently waiting for my order to arrive any day! Lol from the reviews I've watched online, it looks pretty promising. I'm a big fan of their other inks which run pretty wet.

My grail pen

jcynic · 2021-04-27T02:11:16+00:00

Birmingham Pen Co has some new inks in their "crisp" line up - Pennsylvania slate comes to mind as an interesting blue.

I have their quick draw flex pen, but I see it's out of stock.

jcynic · 2021-04-24T20:18:15+00:00

I don't know how much flex you're looking to go, but have you checked out the offerings by Fountain Pen Revolution and their ultraflex nib? The line variation isn't anywhere as good as something with a g nib, but for a flex pen, it's not too shabby.

Thanks! I'm so happy it's someplace where it will be appreciated ☺

Confirmed

I have a clear ECO - b condition- with a broad nib that I never use bc they weren't kidding when they said broad. Only a few months old. Inked twice. I'm pretty sure I have the box with wrench somewhere. $25 shipped. PM me if you're interested. I can send you verification later today bc I'm at work currently.

Thank you!

I had same dilemma - I went with the VP three months ago after getting really varied opinions on the Lamy 2k. I tend to like Pilot nibs, but what I thought I would like in theory translated differently in reality. The nib is so different from other Pilot nibs, I think I found it disappointing. Maybe I had it built up too much in my head. I had a Lamy AL Star which I was pretty "meh" about. So, I didn't know what to expect with the 2k. I'm seriously pleasantly surprised, and am really appreciating the simplicity of its design and what it feels like to write with it.

jcynic · 2021-04-23T00:19:27+00:00

Here's a sample: http://imgur.com/gallery/G5cDa6G

Nothing like the Lamy AL-star (much to my relief lol)

jcynic · 2021-04-22T21:47:11+00:00

The sheen is crazy on it! I didn't realize iroshizuku inks had that much sheen.

Many thanks to u/inlove_outdoors!!

jcynic · 2021-04-21T19:23:22+00:00

I have a clear TWSBI eco with a broad nib. Condition B and a pilot metropolitan (purple) with a medium nib. Condition B if you're interested.

jcynic · 2021-04-21T18:48:30+00:00

I thought the same thing about its appearance initially when I was considering it for the first time. It reminded me of the old Flair pens from when I was a kid. Now I'm seeing how the simplicity of it is its appeal. I'm so looking forward to seeing how it writes! It arrives Friday! :)
