    Any Pen People here?

    I'm enjoying it very much. It's hefty but well balanced. The finish is interesting. Not quite as white as I was expecting, but a nice mix of icy, wintery colors.

    I'm mainly a fountain pen guy, but these machined ballpoint/roller/gel pens have made some inroads of late.

    Here's another pic under different lighting.

    Thank you! I will likely purchase before the end of March.

    Agreed, I prefer FP's. A TT rollerball is not a bad alternative, and at times it is more useful....especially when I need to jot quickly on low quality paper!

    Sorry for the double reply

    Just turned off my screen "eye shield", which is a blue light filter I think

    You described the icy mix well, looks great!

    Imagine spending $350.00+ on a special edition bottle of ink only for them to re-release it several years later…

    Of course the color is slightly different. The old one was a dark purple shading into yellowish green, and the new is a more emerald color.

    I prefer the new actually. And for ~ $20.00 I may buy another bottle.



    I have a medium nibbed TWSBI Eco I think it’s going in.



    Also yesterday was cleaning day. A good dry overnight and these are getting greased and inked this evening.

    A short soak of this stuff.
    An hour or so soaking in distilled water. Several flushes with a bulb.

    Final soak in distilled water. Then overnight drying on a paper towel with the nib positioned to pull water out of the pen.
