Goulet #5 Steel Nib - Silver

Bought two of these...

Bought two of these in Extra Fine: one for a brand new TWSBI (where the shop I bought it from only had them available in a Broad nib), and the other to test on a Kaweco Perkeo/modify for use in a vintage Pilot pen I own. When I tested the first one on the Perkeo, I liked how it wrote, but I switched back to the orignal Fine nib. Still, I was surprised to notice that it wrote a bit differently than my Opus 88 Mini, which also has a Jowo #5 EF nib. After modifying that same first nib for my vintage Pilot pen (which has a similar nib form), I was then surprised to see how lightly it dispersed ink from the feed in comparison to the original Pilot nib--which was fine, but took away from the vibrancy of certain inks. In using the second nib with the TWSBI, it felt like a perfect switch from the original Broad nib! Not sure what factors into it, but even with a small tip, I can still see some shading characteristics of the inks I use when writing.

The product performs effectively with standard photocopy paper. The extra-fine nib exhibits a minor degree of scratchiness. There is no evidence of feathering. I recommend this product for student use. Please note that it is not fully compatible with the TWSBI Echo.

Quality nibs that give you options.

Thanks to these comments, i got confirmation that these Goulet nibs were a drop-in fit for the Faber Castell E Motion pen. Easy swap and back in business. Ill save the factory nib for when I track down a nibsmith.
