Portable Fountain Pen Review - How I Improved My Traveler's Company Brass Pen
I didn't love the Traveler's Company Brass Fountain Pen when I first got it, but here's how changing the nib to a Schmidt FH241 medium replacement nib improved the experience for me! My full fountain pen review, two writing tests, and patina updates at 3 weeks and 6 months plus a size comparison with the Kaweco AL Sport and Kaweco Liliput.

Chocolate Ink in a Candy Colored Fountain Pen? Benu Talisman Fountain Pen
Nice one, did not know that there were different types of plastics for Kaweco.
Please let me know if you can offer me an option for a 4 pen holder like the black one you have in this video. Ty
This is where I bought mine: www.galenleather.com/products/slip-n-zip-4-slots-pen-pouch-crazy-horse-forest-green
Ty. I thought that was it but was hoping to find an insert without the case. Thanks again
I find this scary your notebook looks like pen paganism
Goulet!!
Fun fact! Metals dont actually smell, the scent of coins comes from your finger oils breaking down in the presence of the alloy!
Whoa, that is fun! I didn’t know that. Super cool!
Thanks for pointing out the medium nib JetPens recommends as a replacement.😊
Hi, can you share the info on the small scissors? Thanks 😊
Yes! They’re from Tools To Liveby and JetPens has them: www.jetpens.com/TOOLS-to-LIVEBY-3-Scissors-Gold/pd/32733?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD-ty4QYja5jjsat0LFrxY70Mid0h&gclid=Cj0KCQjwkdO0BhDxARIsANkNcrdKImUBuoem1TQ9-Jw9-o2C8Cudbu1smBqq1VFMTkmTwHgUFeBpdNQaAiubEALw_wcB
For me it's the Brass Sport. I like aluminium but I love the brass way more.
Wonderful review, thank you for showing the patina over time.
I have the same pen and like you I find that it wtites too fine for me. I used it to write down the information for the replacement nib. I will be ordering one, thanks for the tip! I love the pen and keep it in my right front pocket. It is handy for quick notes and checklists. For longer writing sessions a fatter pen is prefered.
I need full lists of everything everywhere you use 🤣 you’ve got amazing finds!
This is a fantastic idea!
now that’s a stim book if i ever saw one i’d be flipping pages constantly
Love this! You are encouraging me to use mine!
These onion skin journals are so perfect! I wish I could get one…
Yeah that's pretty broad for an extra fine, I would probably have to make my writing stance a little bit more stiff and at an upward angle
I have the TWSBI Eco and TWSBI CLASSIC both in white, they are a hot to write with. I want this one as well. The medium is a little too thick for me so after using fountain pens for a little while I think I like the extra fine and fine Nibs the best
Can you tell me the size you have?
A6!
The sailor tokiwa-matsu is my favorite. I use it all the time and it’s definitely a premium feeling ink!
Quite a collection. Absolutely beautiful
Love where are these from??
Peg and Awl is the company that makes them! pegandawlbuilt.com
@@JournalSunshine thank you so much I’ll check them out
I love the mini's too. I don't have this one yet, but I have a clear mini and a smoke vac mini (actually I am waiting on a new cap for my vac mini, but it will be here soon). The vac minis are excellent: 1. Holds more ink. 2. Easier to fill. 3. Much easier to disassemble and clean.
Thx for showing how to do the band
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on the AL Sport! I have three of the plastic Sports and recently purchased the Brass Sport. I love the feel of the brass, but it is way too heavy for me to write with for long sessions, and my Kaweco Classic Sport is the primary fountain pen that I use for journaling. I was hoping that the brass version would become my primary, but since it causes hand fatigue, I think I'll try the AL Sport. I'm hoping that it will be the Goldilocks pen, heavier than the plastic sport, which is a little too light, but way lighter than the brass. It sounds like you love the AL for the same reason.
Happy, Happy Birthday Lauren! ❤
Aww, thank you!!
The Metropolitan writes very well. I have the same pen.
I keep telling myself I'll just buy one more and then I say it again. I have 2 TWSBI ECOs in 8:13 fine, medium and an ECO-T stub. My nect purchases are a Travelers Brass and a Pilot Custom 74. I also have 3 Kaweco Sports, a Pilot Metro, a Diplomat Magnum and an Opus 88 Mini in Cheer Kitty. My favorite nib is medium.
My favourite budget pen will always be the Platinum Preppy (or Prefounte, or Plaisir). I love Platinum’s Medium nibs because I’m a sucker for heavy shading inks and they have the same nibs in the Preppy, Prefounte and Plaisir (basically disposable-style body, acrylic body, and metal body respectively). At such a low price point, I love that I can get a few and keep them inked up (they say 1yr and it’ll write like you just put it down, but I’ve had some I’ve gone back to 4+ yers later and they write like no time has passed), plus I can eyedropper convert them, AND not feel bad about leaving it somewhere/penabling someone else with one. I highly recommend trying one out if you get a chance (in case you couldn’t already tell 😅)
Does the elastic knot in the back mess you up when you're writing?
I haven’t had that issue, but I usually have enough inserts and accessories that block it. Initially, I started with covers from Chic Sparrow which put the knot along the spine, and I ended up really liking both styles!
What conditioner do you use on the scout leather?
I haven’t needed to condition that one yet, but Chic Sparrow’s customer service can usually recommend things like that!
Omg! I am so with you! ♥️ I have two of these minis in most of the main colors and have at least one of each of the special colors. I would completely freak out if they released this in the iris colorway! I’m not a big fan of purple but I do love the iris iridized look! This pen has ruined my ability to enjoy other pens! It really ticks all my boxes. I’m so happy seeing it get some love on some RUclips channels! Ty for your video! ♥️ As far as the nib is concerned- it does write broader and juicier than a Japanese nib, but the lovely smoothness of it is worth a little compromise. I also like to write microscopically but have learned how write in a way that makes me happy with the TWSBI. Don’t forget, if you really want to experiment, you could always have a “nib moister” grind the point down a bit finer for you or into a neat shape, like an architect nib! ♥️
Ahh your collection sounds amazing! I’d love to get a custom nib grind someday. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and time with me!
I feel EXACTLY the same way (about 6 minutes into the video, LOL). The only difference is that my favourite is the rose gold colour, in a M nib. The plastic sports are too light in hand and I don’t write well with them. The AL Sport is my Goldilocks “just write”. I have several TWSBI ECOs (regular and T), a Lamy Safari, and several Platinum Prefountes (which I quite like and are super inexpensive), as well ass a few other ALs in different colours & finished (vibrant violet, Iguana blue, Petrol) but if I had to live with only one FP the rest of my life it would be my rose gold AL Sport in M. The texturing on the other colours really changes the feel & movement in hand, and while I enjoy them, they just aren’t the same, so my favourite ink (Noodler’s Black Swan in Australian Roses) is always in my rose gold :)
Ha! Further in now, and I too use J. Herbin Poussière de Lune in my Vibrant Violet as well 😄
I have a different brand and can’t do this with. Lucky you
Ooh, interesting! Which brand is it? Does it still have an elastic closure or is it another type? For notebooks where you can’t untie the elastic, you could also use jump rings and pliers to attach charms.
where can I get the charms on yours?
The pen one is from traveler’s company, the tiny circle is from Baum-Kuchen, and the yarn is from TwillandPrint.
I love stamps of any kind
😇🩷🙏🙌
Adorbs!
Your channel is awesome. All the things! Pens, notebooks, and all while eating sourdough bread! And the guitar! LOVE the music…will definitely be checking that out too! I love Ginko leaves. Me and my son were challenged to find a Ginko leaf for a science project. No one could find a Ginko tree down here in Ga. When I finally did, at a McDonalds parking lot, I picked tons of them up. The next day I walked into the high school break room, and the kids were wanting to pay me for them. Of course I said no. But secretly gave them the leaves and told them, to write down different locations in the state of Ga. Of where they found them. Needless to say, I was the coolest Mom ever. BTW, 50 different leaf specimens front and back, in a photo album, properly labeled with a cool “junk journal” looking cover. It’s still displayed on our shelf in my living room. Sorry so long. My son is 34 now. And we both know what a Ginko tree looks like! lol! Thx for letting me know me rant. ❤🙏🏻🥰. And where did you get that notebook? 🥁🥁🥁
Ahh oh my gosh, what a cool story! I love them too. This notebook is a traveler’s company traveler’s notebook in passport size, the olive color. The embossings and leaf patch were added by Baum-kuchen studio’s Truly Yours service, which they make available online!
Twsbi Ecos and other Twsbi pens are no different from other pens, flushing the pen using the piston is really all that is needed and full disassembly isn't recomended due to the fragility of Twsbi pens (they easily develop stress cracks). The reason you find it hard to clean it is due to the ink, I love shimmer inks but they are an absolute nightmare to clean in every pen, I have dedicated "shimmer pens" with whom I only use a particular type of shimmer so that I don't have to bother with cleaning them too often.
My first one fountain pen was not Kaweco. I decided to buy a Perkeo and i really enjoy writing with it. 🤗
I go absolutely NUTS for tiny functional objects. I have a teeny tiny book I bought a while back, and it was the perfect size to fit in a cute little doll’s satchel.
Ahh that sounds adorable! And SAME.
Thank you for this video, it's exctly what I was looking for, mostly for the spine thickness comparisons. No other video was showing that... 🧐
My first Olive TN too! I’m waiting on an order from Traveler’s Company USA so I can set up the inside but let me know if you’d like to see how I fill it! 💕
Are you able to point out which part of your video actually has any value? Something that hasn’t been mentioned a million times already on RUclips? So useless
You must feel so disappointed! I appreciate the time you gave me and hope that you find what you were looking for elsewhere soon.
1. Medium nib swap 2. 6 month patina update.
@@blueman9176 okay Sherlock
@KobieK Are you able to point out which part of your comment actually has any value?
I love your channel!
Ahh thank you so much! 🥰
I really like your walllet set-up. The best I have seen.
Thank you so much! There are so many out there and I watched approximately one million videos before I decided how I wanted to do mine. I love how customizable it is!
I have 3 twsbi, 1 eco and 2 eco-T. Eco-T are really the best. EF nibs, I write with them (of course 🤷) but I bought them for sketching (or at least trying 🙄). My cleaning process is easy : (gently) remove the nib after several washing ànd drying with a Q-tip before replacing the nib. Don't be afraid to remove the nib, it is very easy, protect it with a tissue while (gently) turning and replace the same eventually.
Thanks for the information!
I started journaling with A5 hardcover journals (LT1917) and sitll have a stash of both regular and 120gsm tucked away. I need paper that can handle fountain pens without bleedthrough. Minimal to moderate ghosting is okay. I have a reading journaling setup for journaling on the go. It holds my Kindle Paperwhite and a B6 hc journal (Conifer View w/5mm dot grid). The passport size is cute, but would fill up so fast, I suspect, so B6 slim is something I may have to give a go.
