I received a Swisher/Tardiff Kaweco ED and filled it with Luxury Blue and it writes beautifully. I think it may be one of the few times I have spent similar money on ink as on pen <grin>. Now, tell me where I can find the suggested silicone to comply with the suggestion: "A small amount of pure silicone lubricant should be applied to the o-rings in between fillings to prevent them from drying out." And precisely how is that done? Happy Mother's Day to all here, hug someone even if you are not a mother!
