Glad you like them! I have quite the collection - I’ve been using them since childhood but got back into them serious about 5+ years ago. Ill be sharing more as the year goes on :)
Wow! Lovely pens! I went immediately over to Goulet Pens and got on the contact list for the Latte pen…it is just too gorgeous to miss out on. Thx for the share 😁
Beautiful pens! I also have the Iced Caramel Latte (currently inked with Diamine Cocoa Shimmer) and the Ice and Snow. Going to add Caviar to my wishlist. I never realized how gorgeous the pen is.
Azizah’s collabs are always so much fun; I hope to snag a True Unicorn on the next restock.🦄 I have a Euphoria in Vodka on the Rocks and the first LE hand painted Euphoria-can’t remember if it was from Winter of 2020 or 2021. I look forward to the talisman body style. :)
Great review. Likewise I picked up the Iced Caramel Latte after a surprise restock email. I don't mind the Schmidt Broad nib but wish there had been a stub option. Am thinking of trying to swap the nib out for a Jowo. More pen reviews please! 🙂🙏
Good choice! I prefer a stub too. I'm debating on changing it out in some of mine --- or sending one off to be custom ground. I'll definitely be sharing more pens as the year goes on. I have a stack of new ones to share and quite the collection ;)
The unicorn is really cool; it looks like that gummy candy that's covered in sugar ( I forget what it's called..."Cavity" is what it should be called. I buy it at the dollar store, and my teeth hurt after I eat it. That gray pen is surprisingly stunning as well. Soon, I'll have to "snag" a Benu. When I was a kid, my cousins and I used to say "snag" a lot. Hearing that launched my mind back in time.
I really enjoy Benu pens. They are a pleasure to write with - smooth and wet. I actually have two new ones (one for me and one that's a gift) that I'll be sharing (hopefully this week). Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment :)
@JustScribble How are the Benu fine nibs in relation to their thickness? I usually use cheap paper. Because I take a lot of notes, like with things that I read or am trying to learn. So I don't want to spend $20 for a notebook. So I like a finer nib. I always hear tha Benus write wet so I was afraid that they might write too thick, even their fines. The thickest nibs i have would be a TSBY fine or a Opus 88 extra fine, OR TWSBY 1.1 stubs, but stubs are a different story. I hold them sideways, which gives a thiner line, even if it skips a bit. I guess if I try a TWSBY medium, and that works, I'd be OK with a Benu fine. I do like those damned TWSBIs. They're cheap, they have a lot of colors, and I likeccollecting things so I buy them, but I don't dare take then apart. I did that to one of them, and I can't get the thing to go back together so that it posts. I'm pretty dumb with mechanical things so, it's probably just me. In addition to collecting, i also ramble...Sorry lol. Anyway, I was wondering how you thought a menu fine would write on regular notebook paper, like Mead, or Nead Five Stars, even WalMart Pen And Gear, IF you buy the ones with the plasticy covers, those have quite thick paper, and my fountain pens write well on them. They are or were on sale at WalMart, all of the above, for $1 00 FYI. THANKS. Hope that made sense. I typed it once, all neat and eloquent, and I "nuked" (deleted) it somehow. I do that a lot, which is maddening, because I write a lot, but I hate tying. I hate MacBook keyboards, so I dictated this into Google Translate, and cut and pasted it straight out of there. If I do it that way, it isn't vulnerable to the accidental delete I so often magically do. I have no idea how I do it, but I do it a lot. Thanks.
Your fountain pen collection is really growing! Every pen you have shown I've loved.

Great choices! I'm so smitten with Caviar. I don't think it gets much love but I think it's so classy and much prettier than I realized!
I got Lakbay by Vinta Inks, a blue with pink glitter, for my Benu True Unicorn and its a perfect match
Oh that sounds like a perfect color for it!
A small restock is coming on Feb 28 AND she’s ordered more.
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing!

I love my Vodka! It’s so sparkly ✨
They just restocked today!

Love your pens! What notebook do you use for your FP swatching? I love how the inks show up.
It’s Cosmo air light paper. The notebook is from Dromgooles. They have an excellent online shop and physical shop here on TX.
Caramel Latte is my birthday wishlist! Hoping it will come back in stock soon.....
It's so pretty! I hope you get one!
