So I was hoping for a stationery/pen no-buy this year, or at least a low-buy. Ha! This was actually my first stationery-related purchase this year (back at the end of January), which tells you just how long my willpower held out. A while back a new pen unveiling by Manda B popped into my feed the day she uploaded it, and I couldn't even wait until the end of her video before I ordered this pen. And I don't even like black pens! 🙄
I am not a black ink (don't own any) or black pen girl (own one black pen that immediately comes to mind, Pilot Capless matte black, but I am fairly certain that's it ~ I think). But when I saw Manda's unboxing of this one, I knew I had to get it, too. And then I saw Drew's video showing the new Wearingeul Wendy and Peter inks, and I knew the blood red Captain Hook would be the perfect fit for this pen.
The writing sample is in my daily personal writing journal rather than my ink journal, hence the little bit of washi/sticker action.
As always, thanks for watching and sharing some of your time with me.

Ha! That is the same pen/ink combo I have, except I have a M nib. 👍🏾 I was going to put Captain Hook in a different pen, but had to wait until it was empty. Then I got the TWSBI and decided that a red ink would look good sloshing around in it. I also fill and clean my 580's with a syringe too. 😏

@MarshaLove0723 Hi Marsha, this combo does look good, doesn't it? 👍 It's great to learn someone else fills/cleans their 580's with a syringe. I am always getting ink everywhere when I fill 😵‍💫, and this method helps me contain that splatter somewhat better than I can by using the piston (or converter for other pens). I also prefer this method because I can better control how much ink I get in a fill: sometimes I want to top it off, sometimes just a squidge or so to test things out. How do you like your new pen?

@MarshaLove0723 5 месяцев назад

@@Neko-KittyLovesFountainPens I like it a lot! The 580ALR has too many ink traps near the nib and I'll definitely have inky fingers if it is dipped in ink. 😏 I usually only fill pistons about 1/4 full. I like to switch pens/inks too often to fill one up and then write it out. (I don't do a lot of writing day to day.) However, these pens have great seals, so the pens do still write without issues even months later, if I put it aside while it still has ink.

@@MarshaLove0723 I'm so glad you like it! Also, I can relate to that about ink traps and piston fills, but sadly it seems like my hands are always inky no matter what. Sometimes I fill to the brim, but like you sometimes not, so I definitely agree with that course of action. I've had Kawecos with their miniature cartridges that I've filled only 1/4 full because I wasn't sure about the ink's performance in the nib or maybe didn't think I'd end up liking the color as much as I had hoped once I saw the ink in person. TWSBIs are so great though, aren't they? Their quality control is top notch, and I really love how smooth the nibs are. I am also one of those people who loves demonstrators and likes to see that ink sloshing around. Have a great day!!!! 😃

Looks great 👍 I think I’ll buy it in June !

@Neko-KittyLovesFountainPens 5 месяцев назад

@cmcmc7647 Yay! I hope you love it when you use it! I really like the way the matte black looks. If you feel like sharing your thoughts about writing with it when it arrives, please let me know. 😊

Where did you get your adorable little holder for your ink samples?? Very cute. Also enjoy your new pen!

@Neko-KittyLovesFountainPens 5 месяцев назад

@livloves1616 Hi Liv, the little ceramic dinosaur is part of a four-piece set ~ called TEGG 4pcs Cute Animal Ceramic Toothbrush Holder on Amazon. Search for Tegg Mini Toothbrush Holder. This one is the blue dinosaur; there is a green penguin, a white cat, and a white bear in the set. Amazon also seems to sell them in pairs or multiples of four of a single design (two or four dinos, two or four penguins, etc.). I agree, they are so very cute, and I like them even more than the Ink-o-Pets because the ink sample vial sits deeper in them so they are a bit more stable and less prone to accidentally tip, and they are just a tad wider than the Ink-o-Pet opening, so there is a bit more room for the vials in case you get a different circumference ink vial. Thanks, I love the pen: I have a soft-spot for TWSBIs! 😉 Thanks for watching!! Have a great day!!!

@ReverieOfThorns 5 месяцев назад

@Neko-KittyLovesFountainPens thank you so much for getting back to me!! I'll be looking those up, I like that they sit deeper as I am very prone to spilling. Thanks, you have a great day too!
