Nice selection of pens and inks. The Fuliwen 017 is my standard for how a pen should feel in the Hand. Will get a sample of the Color Traveler ink. Thanks!
I recently bought a Fuliwen 017 in the pink/white swirl. I suspected it was the same pen when I saw your blue one. The pictures do not do it justice! So pretty! Mine has a medium nib. It doesn't say Jinhao. It has a flower on it and just says Iridium Point Germany.
It looks even better in real life than it does in the pictures, doesn't it? 😊The pink/white one looks so fun too! They also had a blackish one with gold that looks very classy. I think I remember the specifications mentioning that all nibs originally came with a medium nib so if you buy EF or F they just swap the nib for a Jinhao one.
Nice year end review. Here's mine I got a Karas Vertex in October this year and instantly bought 2 more in different color ways and materials. It is now my absolutely favorite pen to use. Ink-wise, I tried a few brands that are new to me, Robert Oster, Tono Lims, Kala, Wearingeul. Among these, I like Robert Oster and Wearingeul the most but no particular ink that has became my favorite. I almost finished my bottle of De Atramentis Document Black Blue (waterproof, sheens, smooth, a bit too wet), currently on Tono Lims Aoguro (yeah you can see the trend here), but it's not as waterproof as the DA Document series. Still searching for my next waterproof work ink.
Thank you for sharing your pen and ink review! 😊 The Aoguro looks beautiful in the swatches, dark and moody. I have yet to try any Tono & Lims or Wearingeul myself. Have you tried Diamine Registrar's Blue Black? I haven't tried that one myself but I've heard good things about it, and it's waterproof as well.
Loved all your choices, such a relaxing video - thanks for sharing 💜. I did not know that you can switch the BENU nibs with the TWSBI Vac 700 R units - I love two of my Schmitt nibs that came with my BENUs but one is just a little scratchy, so this is a cool swap to know about!
Thank you for watching! I stumbled upon a reddit thread where the Vac700R swap was mentioned, and I figured it was worth the try. So happy that it works well!

Thank you! Great to hear you're also enjoying the Fuliwen 017 😊
I was looking at the Fuliwen the other day! What a pretty pen! I have added that Herbin ink to my list.
Right?! They have a bunch of cool resins as well. Can absolutely recommend it!

@ not yet. But I think it shades more than I’d like for my work ink.
beautiful collection for sure !!

Is it the Day 5 Cranberry ink? Because today my fingers look the same. Beautiful pens and inks!
Close! I believe it was the Forest Gateau
