Oh dear, is it wrong that I got a bit of a chuckle out of that? I arranged with a pen friend to try his Benu Euphoria with a M nib so I didn’t accidentally get a pen with too Broad a nib, but his pen is now damaged. Glad I don’t have to worry quite as much now!

Try this: if you get inky fingers use a moisturiser on your hands. Moisturiser is an emollient & helps in removing ink from fingers. My Mother used that to remove makeup from her face. Hope this is helpful.

🤣We all make mistakes, glad you got the right nib in the end. I’ve got same pen with M nib and while I like it, F is definitely my preference for Benu.

Nice video, especially the scenery, what music is that when you were sample writing the BENU please? I just read the reviews on that book, sounds like worth a read.

Writer's Blood is a really wet ink, it a Benu broad it would be really really really wet.

Happy Canada Day 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦. From a fellow Canadian in Germany

loved your share. subbed

Just ordered the Page Anchor ⚓️. I got the bundle (buy 2 get one free for $99). Was able to use your discount code as well. Save a bunch! Thanks for sharing!

Just ordered the notebook. Thanks for the video and your discount code! 👍🏼

That is a really nice setup, Frank! I love the combo with the orange ribbon band. I have the olive one, too, and use it as a mental health journal. 🖋️ However, I don't like the fact so much that the regular TN is quite narrow. Since I write quite large, I have to jump quickly to the next line, which hinders the flow of writing somewhat. That’s why I prefer to write in my Hobonichis. The length-to-width ratio actually works better for me in the TN Passport size, which I use as a travel journal. But that's just a matter of taste and I still like using both of them.😊 By the way, I love the idea of the patches! I hope I can find some nice ones here. Could I ask you what glue you used to attach them? I would also be very interested to know where you got your pen holder for your TN? I find most of them too narrow for my pens and am therefore very interested in them. Thanks for your videos - I always look forward to watching a new one.😍

I have a Faber Castell Ambition OpArt Flamingo F and couldn't agree more: the nib is drier than a mummy spit. Plus, the section is awfull. It slices your finger tips. It's a beautiful pen, but unusable. I hate it. The cap is sealed, though. On the other hand, I regret so much haven't bought the blue Opus 88 Fantasia... it still haunts me because I really loved it.

May I ask where again did you acquire the pen holders?

Stiloul acesta merita fiecare bănuț investit in el. Eu i-am montat un convertor pentru ca am cernelurile mele preferate. Este un stilou "pe viață" eate robust,echilibrat,reziatent si scrie fantastic. Nu am ce sa-i reproșez! Zi de zi il am in buzunar Este stiloul perfect.

Enjoyable video-I often watch videos like this out of the corner of my eye while doing other things, but had to keep pausing the video so I could finish a chore and actually watch bits of it more closely, ha ha!! 😅 Gorgeous TNs. I appreciate how you speak so warmly of your fam, too. ☺️ You have a calming voice and manner.

Love your kitties and the cozy photos of your book nook with their bed above! Both my cat and dogs do that sort of sploot laying down, maybe it's just comfortable!

Love the Olive color, I couldn't resist as well and bought me another TN (this time in Camel)

What is that quote you have at the top? I have 'The habit of the habit is even more valuable than the habit itself Keeping a habit is the discernment of the mind and is the smallest way possible...' but cant read teh end. Would love to know who said it too please

Loved this new video Frank!

I’ve bought 3 olive TNs, at different times, and they are all quite brown. 😢 I’m envious of everyone that gets a green one.

Where do you now do your weekly planning?

Have you considered using the Sterling Ink Common planner in the N1 size? It fits the traveler's notebook cover and comes with either a vertical or horizontal weekly spread. Great video, thanks for sharing!

Oh this not helped my want for an olive TN hahaha

Great video. Thank you.

"Squeelz, I just got my olive passport😁& my Starbucks reserve. The sweetest lady threw in another gently loved camel passport, (4 $ of one) in addition, as you put it, a generic TN that is just as lovely as Travelers company. Soon I will be publishing all these beauties. Deciding a genre for each. Putting my totes and travel kits together. Just love your channel. I too use one of my regular size purely for art. Hoping I succeed as you have with KZfaq. I've learned, my preference for this brand! 😊

Great video, was a pleasant watch. Love the olive colour.

I really enjoyed this video (and watching old videos). Only because I love the simplicity of your set up and is something that I also emulate on mine - I just a different brand but with a similar weeks and notes setup.

I like your channel because 80% of my stuff is from Reids Stationary including my Olive TN there.

I think I will pull out my Olive again after watching this. But must admit I do love the camel- the more worn out the better🥰

Sure wish it attached from the TOP rather than the SIDE! ♥️ Seems like it would solve more than a few problems.

The orange elastic looks so nice with the Superior Labor pen clip! Dot Grid are my favourite inserts for journalling and I like the lightweight paper too for commonplacing/notes/lists. Enjoy your Olive TN - it’s quickly become my favourite cover.

It's gorgeous, congrats.

thhis is unusual . take care,💯

LAMY can't do fine nibs well in my experience.

"hold my muji b5"! in all seriousness, try the muji notebook paper bro, its much much better. in the category of midori which is toothy and textured. i havent come across a paper thats more textured but also feather resistant, bleed resistant, off white. its debest.

I am doing the same thing with Tokyo postcards. I am saving it for the day I get to travel to Japan!

My dog used to do that. She was part Chow & Blue healer. I was wondering if cats ever did that, never seen one do that. So cool. I could watch him all day it's calming. They look so comfy !!! Love the content of the video. I wish I could find a club in my area, but my hours are wonky, so no go, right now.

Good collection. Just add in a cheap glass pen or dip for ink testing. It’s so hard to tell what thin vs broad and on what paper looks irl. Century 3776 to see of you like more feedback. It’s nice imo but it’s different and sailor has more feel but platinum is louder but less pencil like. I am a ef uef and po nib fan platinum and pilot nail thin lines.

That Benu medium is so wet it writes thicker than some Broad nibs! I’m considering getting a Passport sized TN for my upcoming trip to Paris for the Olympics

I’m so tempted to get the Olive TN but have been holding off :)

What is the notebook you have in your Hobonichi A6? I struggle to find a page-a-day planner. Almost no one carries them anymore.

Blue with red sheen is easy to find. And yet I always want to buy any new one that comes out. I bought Mermaid as well. I am so glad you love the Platinum Carbon Black. And I love that you have penabled your coworkers! Shadow is gorgeous. My cats have never sprawled like that.

the sprawl your cat is doing is called a sploot!

Oh wow! My first time being first!

I think I would prefer the two pen holder. It would be very much worth the extra money.

Thank you for sharing these covers! They're very beautiful.

Love your channel. Do you have any thoughts on the Aspinal A5 leaather cover? Thanks

Nice video

Don’t buy refills! Buy a large paper cutter and bulk buy sheets of paper, it’s cheaper in the long run and you can experiment with different paper types

I'm so glad that you love the PCB ink as much as I do! I'm catching up on all the vids I have missed. I am house hunting and I am determined to have a dedicated library/art room in my future home!
