They are comfortable, affordably priced, write well, and, moreover, they feature that distinctive touch of using a piston mechanism for the ink instead of a cartridge.
The GO model maintains the essence of TWSBI and comes at an even more affordable price. I don’t know why, but in photos, I thought it would be the size of the Kaweco Liliput, but it is very close to its bigger sister, the TWSBI ECO. Being made of resin makes it very light, it has the perfect diameter to make writing with it very comfortable for long periods; and the steel nib glides as smooth as silk.
Although what’s really interesting is the way it refills. It uses a spring piston mechanism, so it’s very similar to using a syringe. Moreover, since the pen is completely transparent, it leaves nothing to the imagination.
I had been after the TWSBI GO Clear (€27) for a long time, and it truly has not disappointed me. It’s going straight to the top 5 of my collection. It is the perfect pen for all those who want to start experimenting with different inks (one of my pending subjects, by the way).
