TWSBI's belief is that it is important to allow the user to disassemble and reassemble the pen and completely experience the traditional aspects of owning and using a fountain pen. These pens also come packaged with a wrench and silicone grease. Neither of these accessories are intended to be used immediately, as they are for long-term care and maintenance. Additionally, please use extra care if you choose to disassemble the nib and feed, as the feed is very fragile.

Customer Reviews
I like a lot about what this pen has to offer. Good size grip section for my hand, big ink capacity, easy maintenance. But I’ll most definitely be returning to my lamy safari soon, because this pen just gushes ink! I can’t use this pen on basically any but the most expensive papers I have with the most well behaved inks I possess, otherwise it just shows and sometimes bleeds right through and it looks horrible. Feathering is a constant, even with my best efforts it’s still there at least a little at all times. I just wish the nib was ACTUALLY extra fine!
Loved the gift and put it straight to use. Looks like it was a winner all around!

Firstly, my experience with Goulet Pens has been excellent. They have been helpful answering questions to help with my indecision, and frankly naive understanding of the fountain pen world. The two orders that I placed in the last month have been packaged with care and sent quickly. Now, on to my new pens... It started with my needing to find a pen to get as a gift for a colleague who is moving out of town. After searching, reading, and watching videos, I settled on the TWSBI Eco for the reason that it seemed perfect for a person who loves design and loves tinkering. I ended up ordering three. One to give as a gift and two for myself. That seems totally selfish but I couldn't decide on a color, and honestly, it hasn't been the best year and I felt like a deserved a little treat! The pens have arrived and are excellent. I selected the black-capped pen for my colleague (and purchased a couple of bottles of ink to go with his gift), and then got to inking up my new pens. After following the instructions, and getting them inked, they have proven themselves to be worth the hype. They are gorgeous and they write exceptionally smooth. I ordered medium nibs, as it is my preference as a lefty.
I was going to order this from Amazon, but I thought of Goulet Pen Co., and I decided to support them instead of Amazon. I'm glad I did because they are and great to deal with! The pen is excellent (as I knew it would be). The piston filler holds tons of ink, and it won't dry up (I know this because I already have a TWSBI Eco, and it still has ink in it from 2 years ago, and it writes like a charm. I am a calligrapher, so I purchase fountain pens primarily as tools. My TWSBI Ecos sport XF nibs, and they are very nice. Smooth writers, and fairly wet for an XF nib (which I love). I heartily recommend this pen, and even more so I recommend Goulet Pen Co.
