Drew is so right about the Benu. I never wanted one because I found them too loud, but then they launched the Earl Grey. I think the beauty about Benu is that they create pens you can connect with, and at the same time they keep their design style that has made them so recognizable. I'm pretty sure most tea people like me feel the same way about the Benu Earl Grey, and sooner or later it will find a way into their collection.
@jadeturtledesigns 6 ай бұрын
I bought it. While it is very pretty, the price doesn't justify it. It has a very plastic-y feeling. I was disappointed.
@DanielForgosh 6 ай бұрын
@@jadeturtledesigns I understand what you mean, but also remember hand turned pens can be even more expensive. Pens with facets are hard to produce, and Benu uses custom resins they have to do research and development to create. I have a handful of Benu pens, and they all write great. I'm unsure if they tune nibs to ensure consistent writing quality, but they nevertheless write well.

I love love love my Esterbrook Esties. I have the Ferris Wheel Press Colab Nebulous Plume, the Maui, and the Raven. The Raven is absolutely my favorite pen I own. For the Kakimori stainless steel (barrel) dip nib, it took a hot minute to really get used to vs a traditional dip nib or glass, but talk about cool for illustration and artwork.

Brian is spot on about the Pilot Custom Urushi. I finally purchased one in 2023 after wanting one for a long time. It’s the largest pen in my collection (the Emperor is too large for me) and I believe it may be the very best nib I own. Flawless.
@psa7211 6 ай бұрын
Great list! Just got my Benu Earl Grey. When I saw your intro, it convinced me it was time to get my first Benu, before that I though they were a little too loud. When I got it last week It was a joy. It's a beauty and a pleasure to look at. Right now I have it paired with Diamine Ancient Copper and it is a pleasure to write with. I ordered some other inks Winter Spice being one of them to see if the ink pairing could be even better, but Ancient Copper is pretty spot on. I also bought the Lamy All Star in Petrol and Lilac, and either is one of my daily carries. I have the Mythos and the Magna Carta on my wish list. I already have the Pilot E95s and a Vanishing point. I love both but tend to use the E95s more. PILOT makes some of the sweetest nibs out there. I want to try a Vanishing Point with a stub nib, but need to wait until more colors come back into stock with a stub. Also want a Pilot falcon or FA nib, just havent decided on what pen. This has been a wonderful fountan pen year and your pencasts have prompted many a new pen and ink on to my wishlists. Thanks for all your great videos!

You initially hooked me into the fountain pen world with your TWSBI complete pen collection. I now own two TWSBI Eco pens and just ordered a Lamy Joy with a 1.9 nib and the Organic Studio Nitrogen ink. I'm a retired graphic designer who used to spend his lunches at art stores, checking out what's new-and purchasing it! (in every color, when available...), so I am attracted to intricate design and colors. BTW, one of the TWSBI pens I own happens to be the indigo with the bronze trim. What makes that pen even more interesting is the color ink choice. The first ink I loaded in it was the Ferris Wheel Press Frivolous Lime which looked pretty cool. But I now have Noodler's Dragon's Fire ink loaded, and the dark amber ink looks alive in the barrel even before writing with it...

Enjoyed the video, but I had to laugh when Drew talked about the $200 Visconti Mythos as an entry level pen. I will never be able to bring myself to spend that much on a pen. My wife would kill me if I ever did. So to me, the Mythos is not an entry level pen, regardless of how much the manufacturer's other pens cost. On the other hand, that TWSBI Eco with bronze trim keeps calling to me.

I bought a very beautiful and very pricey Sailor pen but...I didn't love it as much as I thought I would. So it sat in my pen case for months. Until very recently, I started wanting to write with a very Fine nib. Most of my pens are M, B, BB, Stub, Flex -- nice inky nibs with thick line weights! I remembered that I had a F nib pen. So I got out the Sailor, inked it up, and now I have the perfect F nib in a beautiful colorway, lightweight, just beautiful!

2023 is the year I turned the corner from a lifelong fountain pen user to a collector as well. My Delta Celluloid is a fave purchase with a high end feel and writing experience. Benu was a surprising hit and I absolutely love writing with these. The writing experience is wonderful and they give me such joy when I look at them. I also learned that you cannot have too many TWSBI Eco pens. It’s been a fun year of writing.

I’m enjoying my TWSBI ECO-BRZ in a 1.1 stub. As a lefty-overwriter, the Jowo nib is smooth and adds character to the ink I lay down on the page. I agree, when used with Iroshizuku Tsuki-yo, the color match looks amazing sloshing around with that blue color and the golden-bronze highlights. Mmm, good!

Drew you are so right about Benu! The first pens I saw were the Sceptors and not my thing, but I found the Armenian Pomegranate Wine and fell in love. Now it is one of my favorite becasue it not only looks fantastic, but writes like a dream. I'm always looking out for what they come with next so I can add another Benu to my collection and was excited when you showed your new exclusive. Just ordered Earl Grey and excited to ink it up. So if you have not found "your" Benu yet, just wait.. they will come up with something that tickles your fancy.

Although I totally agree with your choice of Benu Euphoria at the top; Earl Grey isn’t really the one that does it for me. The painted bird series they have done is just amazing! The Swallow, the Hummingbird and the Flamingo are great. I have no idea it is a series btw; but I hope it will continue in 2024 as well😊… and on the higher end of the spectrum: although Pilot Custom Urushi has always been a winner in my collection - and I finally could get the vermillion one this year as well 🎉 -, I think this was a Taccia year for me. That is the one brand that I kept coming back too. Thanks for a great video yet again and happy new year!

That's a good list, I have one that's on it (and a couple of the honourable mentions)... but I wonder if you spilled some heavily spiked egg-nog on your sweaters and are affected by fumes? How the Pelikan Souverän M600 Art Collection - Glauco Cambon Special Edition didn't make the list at all is baffling. I thought it would be number 1. As far as I know, this was the only fountain pen to introduce a completely new method of crafting a decorated pen barrel with their new Aurora Process. Not only is the pen gorgeous, the process itself is something new that should be recognized for the innovation it is. This was the most impressive release by Pelikan in years, and that's saying a lot considering some of the beautiful pens they've put out in the past... but this one is a leap ahead. Maybe it will make next year's list? Thanks for the always interesting videos!

Probably in your best interest to do another run of those before you wake up with a woman standing over you in rainbow glitter fatigues threatening you with a spear tipped with a number 10 nib! Best of luck to you guys. I can’t stop her at this point. Her mania has gone too far.

Rainbow Slushie is gone for good, but you should see if she likes BENU's True Unicorn over at Gourmet Pens: gourmetpensshop.com/products/benu-talisman-true-unicorn-fountain-pen-gourmet-pens-exclusive?_pos=1&_psq=unicorn&_ss=e&_v=1.0

Can we use a vanishing point medium nib on school quality paper?
@psa7211 6 ай бұрын
Sure can. The Vanishing Point was one I purchased before I encountered Goulet Pen. So learned about paper post Vanishing Point. So it's been used a lot on steno tablets and works just fine. But writing on better paper is a nicer experience. But if you want the fountain pen experience and the instant joy of a click and use it in class with school notebooks, GO FOR IT. It is a great pen and does work really well on school paper.

Best pilot is the custom heritage 912. Modern look, tons of nib, affordable... From japan. Sorry
@shstapleton 6 ай бұрын
I won’t get a Benu even if one grabs me because they don’t include a stub or cursive nib in their nib selection. That requirement saves me from purchasing several pen brands, but it does seem shortsighted on the brand’s end.
@karibean13 6 ай бұрын
Benu uses Schmidt nib units that are really easy to swap out, so you could always do that. Or buy your Benus directly from somewhere like Pen Realm and have Kirk Speer do a custom grind on it for you.

Is that how Americans pronounce 'lilac' Lie-lack? I keep relistening, here in england we pronounce it more 'lieluc' ... sounds funny. Otherwise love a Lamy and really appreciate a keeper that isn't boring silver. will listen to your entire review now and not just the lie-lack bit 🤣

Omas isn't going to come back in its original form, unfortunately. The staff and equipment are now a part of one company, and the name is being used by another. - Drew
