The addition of 3 pens to my drawer meant that I had to remove 3.
Coming in I have a TWSBI Micarta, TWSBI 580, and an Edison Beaumont. I am pulling the Jinhao 188, Pilot Metropolitan (White), and the TWSBI Mini out of the drawer.
The Jinhao 188 I found to be an okay pen, the nib grind turned out pretty good but the ink capacity was a bit of a draw back. There was nothing about this pen that spoke to me (other than the price) and that is why I found that it couldn't stay in the drawer.
The Pilot Metropolitan was a duplicate pen in my collection so I thought that there was no need of having doubles. My intent is not to collect every version of the same model but pen that I adore using and looking at.
Lastly, the TWSBI Mini made space for the newest additions manly due to the size of the section. This was a tough one for me. I really like the pens design and filling system but found myself always gripping the threads on the section which caused discomfort for longer writing sessions.
