On February 1, 2017 my Blue TWSBI Diamond 580AL (IF) joined its comrades when it was filled with Callifolio Baïkal. The pen was in use for 2 weeks and was emptied and cleaned on February 17, 2017, saying good-bye to its fellows.

Thoughts Before Filling

I sent a TWSBI nib unit to Nib Grinder and just got it back, so I’m eager to write with it. I put it in my 580AL Blue because I love the color of the pen, and it’s been some time since I last used it. As for the ink choice, I’ve been wanting to return to it, plus it is in my TWSBI ink well, and I couldn’t pass up a chance to use it.

Thoughts After Cleaning the Pen

I didn’t write this pen dry. The ink wasn’t jiving with me. I like the ink, it’s a great blue-black, and even while writing with it I would admire it, but it’s not shade I want right now. I’m in a different mood and was finding myself choosing to use any other inked up pen, and since I want to test out the new nib it’s time for a new ink.
