Anyone else think these bullshit threads (battlestations, watches, pens, etc) are just a way for the shills to refresh the board, when everyone starts to get negative on their obvious astroturfing? Then they just post it again: "Sup /g/, why don't you own a <blankety blank> yet?"

I'm sorry, shill is the wrong word. "Product awareness advocate."

The same can apply to lenovo and thinkpad threads.

As long as it's some kind of technology, it's alright. Pens, watches, and razors (maybe the last is pushing it a bit) all fit in this category.

Pic related is 60's Esterbrook, a defunct brand. Impossible to shill. Still love it.

Honestly, the problem is that there is a shit ton of overlap between people into mechanical watches, fountain pens, and safety razors. Having a general for one means there are lots of people into the other two around.

Absolute garbage. If you need cheap ink, buy Higgins. If you need good ink, buy noodlers

Nothing. My bottle of Tsuki-Yo has plenty of bubbles in it, and you can even notice it in the converter. The ink works/looks/behaves just fine.

Contrasting the ink flow on a Lamy 1.5 stub vs a TWSBI 580 1.5 stub. Also samples of Sailor Jentle Blue Black vs. Sailor Nano Blue Black.

Yea it works just fine.

It is just that when the bubbles in the converter settle it is like half filled.

So my order came in today.
The TWSBI Eco is an excellent pen so far, and I gotta say, I like the build a lot more than my 3 year old Charcoal Lamy Safari.
Let's see if it'll survive as long as the Safari has though.
The EF nib for the safari is a little scratchy, but very useable and looks like it's gonna be great for math and orgo notes with the Noodler's X-feather that I got.
The TWSBI EF is a bit smoother than the Lamy EF, but still a bit scratchy. About the same thickness.
Overall a good purchase, and I would definitely recommend the Eco to anyone considering it.
Piston-fill pens are great

I just fill slowly and dump the ink out and back in a couple of times to get rid of air in the converter. You should at least get close to a full fill like this.

How do you like the Studio? I might get one eventually, it's probably either that or a Platinum 3776 or a Sailor 1911. I think the Studio is really cool looking and from what I've heard about Lamy gold nibs I think I want to stick to their steel ones ones.

>>51030217
Then dip the nib in deeper until it's past the bubbles and you have ink all over your pen.

They're a bit too ink fedora for me. They're kind of neat but at the same time they remind me of the horrible bullshit that is skeleton watches.

They serve an actual purpose though, You can see exactly how much ink you have left
