T W S B I Loaner Program

[amberleadavis]

Well... are you ready to borrow one?

[Fabienne]

This is very generous of you. By George, i knew i liked your face...I am a tremendous TWSBI fan and since you are one as well, I salute you!

[amberleadavis]

Thank you!!

[TheRealScubaSteve]

Well... are you ready to borrow one?

 

Yes, and I've prepared my wallet for another inevitable purchase. It'll be a new month by the time I get to use it, anyway.

[amberleadavis]

Which one do you want to borrow, the Vac or the 540?

[Sailor Kenshin]

Oh. My. WORD....what a pen.

 

I really did not expect to be near-floored.

My reaction. They are delightful. I had a similar reaction to a Lamy Al-Star, but the TWSBI is very beautiful to look at and hold. It's...different.

[amberleadavis]

I am so glad you are enjoying.

[amberleadavis]

A Vac 700 and 2 540s have returned.

[mknoblauch]

Wow! I am floored by your generosity, Amberleadavis --and alc3261, too, just jumping in there to be the UK TWSBI lender like that!

 

Thanks for starting and enthusiastically promoting this program!

[amberleadavis]

It's really been fun. Let me know when you are ready. I warn you though, once you start, you'll fall in love.

Amber, you're a total enabler, lol! These pens are soooo addictive!!!

[amberleadavis]

I know... it's like giving someone the first toke. I should start saying... whatever you do, don't fill. (like don't inhale).

[mknoblauch]

LOL! It's too late to preach that message to this crowd!

[amberleadavis]

Oh.... this crowd is already part of the inky choir.

[Sailor Kenshin]

Happy Halloween, almost. With probably more to come.

I wonder if the small metal band on the 580 section would bug me.

[TheRealScubaSteve]

I nearly tackled the mail lady today (just kidding) hoping that the pen would be delivered; I was not disappointed. Wow, the TWSBI is amazing. I now understand what all the fuss is about. I've only written with it for about a page, but I think that I can safely say it's one of my favorite pens - oops, except that it's not mine. Wow, the ink is amazing too! The Jinhao was a sweet bonus, too. What makes it even cooler is that I have a M blue 599 demonstrator so it will be fun comparing the nibs. I like the heft of the metal body better than the plastic demonstrator. More to come soon.

I really love the 580 AL and consider it a terrific improvement.

Both the pens have custom nibs from LahLahLaw, his work is just wonderful. The red Jinhao is one of his earlier stubs and I think it is really fun to use.

[TheRealScubaSteve]

La la la . . . LahLah, are you listening? I don't have my own pen yet, but I want Amber's TWSBI nib. I love the flex, though I'm afraid to really try using it on a loaner.What's funny is that I thought that some of my pens were really smooth. They all pale in comparison and feel horribly scratchy after using your TWSBI. Thanks a lot.
