TWSBI GO

I have tons of piston fillers that look kind of like that so I don't need another. Than a TWSBI Go came up on sale and, well, just this once. Works like advertised and writes great.

I’ll say it, it gets a lot of crap, but the TWSBI Go. I got it for a friend who’s a sterile lab technician and needed a cheap fountain pen that she could spray and/or wipe with chlorhexidine and q.ammonium disinfectants before taking them into the lab. I was going to let her ink it up first but ITS JUST SITTING HERE ALL UNLOVED AND UNINKED… so I inked it with some Birmingham Copper Chloride, and wrote a bit with it. The F nib was a true F, was shockingly smooth for the price (even for double the price), the flow was perfect, and it handled remarkably well in-hand.

I also have 2 of the Go and a Vac700R. All of my TWSBI have worked well from the first filling, and don’t think I have a smoother pen than the M and B nibs in them. For the last year and a half, I have had at least 2 TWSBI pens inked at all times.
