So I got my TWSBI mini the other day and was messing around with the nib. Swapping out my 540 stub etc after seeing Brian Goulets video on it. Pretty neat and everything fit well including the cap.
I had contacted Pendleton about doing a custom nib but once I saw the 540 nib swap in a previous review video I emailed him back and asked for his TWSBI 540 Pendleton Point Bad Boy with Angel Wings semi-Flex~Italic "Hot Tip" nib that he usually keeps in stock.
Well it arrived today and WOW what a ridiculous nib! I mean this thing just screams at you and writes like nothing I have ever tried. Don't mind my terrible writting in the background PLEASE. Take a look at that nib and how awesome it looks on the mini. YES it was $55 for the pen shipped & $80 for the nib shipped but after all the nib is what makes the pen.
Pendleton is just an amazing nib man. I can't explain in words all that is going on with it but it really gives amazing feedback and has so much to offer in any way you hold it. NOTE: the nib is not dull, as it looks in the pictures. It actually has a frosted look to it.
