I got some TWSBI Swipes to play with and I am really pleased with them. I have some beaten up Lamy Safaris that have probably seen better days and I love my Vac 700R so I thought I would try them out, and take the opportunity to offer a little bit of content. I hadn't realised the community had moved!

Thanks for sharing! I've been eyeing the TWSBI Swipe lately myself as a relatively inexpensive easy pen to take to work. Plus I don't have another pen in that salmon color...

Nice. I have 3 swipes now, and I absolutely love them. They write nicely, hold a great amount of ink in their oversize converters, and look great. The only thing I don't love is the clip, but I'm getting used to that too.

I'd really like some more colours or possibly a transparent / demonstrator one.
