== TWSBI Eco ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' I bought a TWSBI Eco. And that was purely because when I was on the show and I bought the Disney Kuru Togas. Right. Which I also have here. Which are fantastic. I mean, I don't have a ton to say. You wrote up about them as well, didn't you? Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' They're so cool. My kids literally use them every day.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, they are fantastic. I have Minnie. I have Donald. And I have Mickey. And I've opened the Mickey one. The Donald and the Minnie haven't been opened yet. Not for any specific reason. They will be. And what I love about these things is how minimal they are. And they're just nice colors. And they have just like a couple of little, just a couple of pieces of iconography on them. Like the Mickey one just has a yellow shoe and a white glove.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Exactly. That was my favorite bit about them was how minimal they were. You know, these types of things can definitely be done in a gaudy way. And this is the furthest thing from it. It's beautiful.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. And in using them, I realized why the Kuru Togas is so great. But at the same time now, why I prefer my Rotary rings is the weight of the Rotary rings. Because they're made of metal. Sure. Like that is the difference, you know, for me now is I like the weight of those. But that mechanism is next to none, you know.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Right.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Which is, you know, that's what makes it so fantastic. But let's talk about the TWSBI Eco.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Let's, yeah, I'm anxious to hear what you have to think about this.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So I purchased a TWSBI Eco. And I told Adina about it. And was effectively told that it wouldn't belong to me as soon as it arrived.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So what are the specs? I mean, not that there's a lot of options. Black or white and what nib?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Mine is black 1.1 stub.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Okay.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So mine was coming from JetPens. So I ended up ordering a white 1.1 stub from Colt Pens. So it would arrive before and I could just give it straight to Adina. Because she was always loved TWSBI. She considers the TWSBI Mini or had considered the TWSBI Mini as her perfect pen. But she broke like two of them just for their general destruction.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Their TWSBI-ness. Exactly.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So when I told her about the Eco and kind of explained that a little bit to her about the fact that it was apparently stronger. Well, she was like, well, I want one. Because she was using a Metropolitan, which she likes. But that's nowhere near what she loves. And also she'd seen Tiff using the 1.1 and taking the amazing pictures that she's been taking. And she's like, I want one of those. So I got her one as well.

'''Myke Hurley:''' This is the best TWSBI.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, it's pretty solid, right? I mean, it's fantastic.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I don't know how they have made this pen for the price they're selling it at. It doesn't make sense to me. This thing is fantastic.
