I am a new fountain pen enthusiast. I got back to journaling this year and was running through a lot of EnerGel pens, so I decided to try fountain pens as a less wasteful alternative. My first pens were a Platinum Preppy F and a Jinhao Dadao EF. I ended up really liking them and decided to go to the next tier. A friend recommended TWSBI.

I opted for the 580 because I want to be able to change the nibs and twisting them out seemed like a better fit than prying them off. I also liked the design of the 580 more than the Eco. Another factor was being able to use a needle injector to fed ink into the reservoir as some bottles and samples don’t allow for the pen to feed from it.

I know there are ways to manage that on the Eco, but it was worth paying a bit more for long term convenience.

I’m still trying to decide what my preferences are regarding writing. Do I want a smooth glide? A more pencil feel? Thinner lines or a wetter nib?

I was quite surprised with the “thinness” of lines achieved by the EF of the 580. Maybe I need to find a wetter ink, as I do prefer my writing to look saturated. I’ve added a writing comparison of the 580 and my Dadao in the pictures. Both are using the same ink and written on Midori paper.

I’ve ended up preferring how the 580 writes on Tomoe River and LEUCHTTURM1917.

It is a lovely pen. The feel of it is substantial without being overly heavy. The clear part of the pen feels very premium compared to others I’ve tried or held in this price or lower. The piston also having the rose gold color really adds to the experience. It is a lovely shade of rose gold, too.

So far, there are no cons. Adding a photo of this pen with Teranishi Opera Rose which will be the ink I use in it for a while. I always like testing with inks I know the saturation of before swapping to more experimental colors.

I admire the elegant simplicity of my pen and every time I write, the ink is smooth and easy even with shimmery inks. My first ever TWISBI experience and I love it!

I love this pen. It writes very well.

I love your company, website, and pens! Thank you for another wonderful fountain pen - it’s exactly what I needed! Thank you 💝

I love this pen! Thanks for all of your assistance!

Very pretty pen. Love all my TWSBI 580’s!!
The white and rose gold is a beautiful combination!!

Just get it. I love it.

This a gorgeous pen with smooth writing.

This was my first "nicer" fountain pen and while I now have many others that are technically "nicer" - this is still one of my favorite pens. I love a demonstrator, the medium nib is smooth, and the white/rose is just lovely. A beautiful presentation that really shows off inks. I loved it so much I purchased one for my mother as a gift and she loves it as well.

Love it. So easy to fill it with ink, Writes so smooth and a pleasure to write with.
Love the ink in black.

Elegant and feels nice in your hand! My first TWSBI-probably not my last !!

I gave this as a gift to the pastor of our church and he loved it! He has changed to writing out all his sermons with this fountain pen instead of typing previously. Writting with the perfect fountain pen and using the right paper is addicting!

This is my second TWSBI. I bought it as it mirrors the all black one I already have. TWSBI makes innovative fountain, pens with high end features, and a fraction of the cost, but these are by no means 'cheap' pans. If you're looking to jump into the world of traditional piston, filler fountain pens is a great place to start.You can count on Goulet Pens To be there to answer your questions, and to give you all the after purchase support you could ever want. Also be sure to check out Brian and Drew's YouTube channel for more great information on everything fountain pen related.

Another beautiful, functional TWSBI. Beautiful color and presentation and superb functionality.

Same as the Smokey version. Both are very pretty to me.

I am IN LOVE! There are pens that are exquisite and quite expensive, but this pen is the balance between the two. Could not recommend Goulet enough - service & quality are perfection!

I am an artist. I attend figure drawing sessions several times a week and your pens are now my go to pens for my artwork. They are awesome!

Hands down love everything about this pen! Enjoy

I just added this pen to my little collection and I really like it. The piston filler is easy to deal with zinc I like the bigger ink capacity. The white rose gold make the pen nice to look at and it writes nicely. As always I really appreciate the attention with lavishing and the fast delivery. Will add another TWSBI to the collection soon

Love it. I literally just looked at it for the first week. Admiring the beauty. Then filled it up, wrote a letter to my daughter in university and enjoyed it even more. Looking forward to my next purchase.

She loves rose gold, and really loves the smoothness of the broad nib. We had to fill it 3 times already.

Excellent pen, I think it's my new favorite, fine nib is awesome very smooth, I bought one for me and one to give to my brother in law, we're very happy with the pens.

The pen is as beautiful as it seems in the pictures. Nib is smooth even in the fine size. Super clean lines and impeccable construction. It's probably my prettiest pen.

My friend adores the TWSBI pens so I got this for his birthday and he's been using it everyday with Jacques Herbin Bleu Oc�an (the white bits of this pen are pearly, so it's thematic). He loves it, especially with the 1.1mm stub!

Love my Twsbi and needed this lovely rose gold model and use it every day.

Such a smooth write as always with TWSBI pens. I love how juicy the nibs are even with the EF. So happy that they came out with this color in the full size!

Another grand TWSBI rose gold/gold fountain pen.My daughter is again up to date with rose gold/gold TWSBI fountain pens. The best one can state is this is another grand, top shelf & good writer TWSBI.
