Hi all! This is my first review of FPN so please leave me feedback on how to improve, etc. Appearance + Design 5 / 5 Like all TWSBI fountain pens, this is a lovely, well made pen. The design is well thought out. To be able to fully take it apart and service it, is a bonus. bright. I chose the burgundy coloured version. The pen doesn’t post at all, but that doesn’t bother me. I post some of my pens, but also depends on the mood I’m in! Quality 5 / 5 For £42, great value. I haven’t had in long enough to assertion durability, but it ‘feels’ it will last a long time. The piston moves smoothly and there’s a feeling of quality. It looks and feels more expensive than it is. It’s heavier than my Pelikan M200. Nib 5 / 5 I bought the pen with a Fine nib. It’s very wet - which I like, and very very smooth. It doesn’t flex, but it’s not a ‘nail’. This Jowo nib is firmer than the Bock nib in my 540. Nib widths between the Jowo and the Bock are pretty similar. I have Fines in both. The nib hasn’t skipped at all and writes very well. Value 5/ 5 £42 on a quality piston filler. What’s not to like! My M200 was almost double the price. The TWSBI feels more expensive/substantial.
