Definitely a nib I want for regular use in my collection. Also the Estie elastic nib.

I am a great fan of grey inks, especially Herbin Vert de gris 😻

Is it possible to slip the passport insert into the Galen Leather wallet? In the right hand large pocket.

I’m glad you said what paper you were using, because by the third swatch, I was zooming in cause I thought it was bleeding/feathering a lot. Another creator received a sample pad of Regalia (this was a video that was several years old) and he was having the same issue with some inks, and also the issue I noticed in a few of the colors on the right hand side of the page where it’s like the ink has little speckles in it (it isn’t the oils from your hands.) Regalia (Endless) said they were working out some kinks and either they haven’t worked out their kinks yet, or you have the older paper? (Although, I’ve seen other people use it and it isn’t having any specific problems, per se, but, imo, colors look flat, dull, and/or washed out.) Everyone likes different paper…and different paper can be great with different pens. I love Rhodia, and I know some people can’t stand it because it feels too coated, or whatever. All this stuff is personal. But, what’s not personal, is bleeding and feathering. The inks look sooo much better on the TRP…but, I hope you aren’t having problems with the 2025 TRP (if you bought any.)

Whyyyy am I watching this as a newbie with a Kaküno as I’m waiting for a Kaweco skyline to come in the mail 😭😭😭😭 *Adds to wishlist

Thank you!!! I want the nib but can’t land on the pen. Thanks for the in-depth review

Hi, I believe Gena Salrino uses they/them pronous !

Their bullet journals are very good. Composition books are not. Their yellow legal pads are somewhere in the middle. Pen+Gear has some great stuff.

I absolutely love the Robert Oster Rose Gold Antiqua, it’s so gorgeous!!! Maybe try some White Lightening in it to get it to flow better? Or a tee-tiny amount of dish soap on a toothpick (definitely look that technique up!) I think Vanness Pens sells the White Lightening. I’ve ordered from them and they have great service and nice sample sizes at great prices. Ferris Wheel Press Lady Rose in Gold is pretty similar to Rose Gold Antiqua…and Diamine Masquerade, maybe? (I know I have 3 colors on my “get a sample of this!!” that are almost the same color (one being Rose Gold Antiqua.) That Platinum Sakura is just stunning. What a beautiful pen!!!!

Hey! Did you know that there's also grey transparent barrel for the Hocoro? They call it Smoke Barrel variant. I got that one and combine it with the fude nib! I was going for the clear body as well, but then I see that my local stationery online store also have a stock on the smoke Hocoro barrel. I immediately chose that one because I love see through stuff and grey is my favorite color too.

Great video, what is the name of the pink ink at 10:34? It’s so lovely!

Dang for some reason my Isabela looks like straight gold

Any update on the nib section of this pen? I have one in my cart but am a little hesitant.

Two more excellent gray inks you may not have tried. (1) Noodler’s Clairvoyent Slate. This transparent, bulletproof ink is darker than Noodler’s Lexington Gray (I assume you have already tried Lexington Gray.) it behaves well and is entirely waterproof. JetPens has it. (2) HongDian Gray. The HongDian inks are free-flowing, intensely colored, and inexpensive on Amazon. This gray is fairly dark with some partial water resistance. I highly recommend both these gray inks. The Clairvoyent Slate is especially great for drawing followed by a watercolor wash (so is the lighter Lexington Gray) but it behaves well enough to be good as an everyday writing ink as well.

Also! Do you plan to make a 2024 techo kaigi?

Love this very thorough and thoughtful techo kaigi. Would love to see your 2025! 🤍🐈‍⬛

The Video Games list got me! Had to sub after that lol (100% did prior to that). I do recommend Sea of Stars. Such a great old school style JRPG with more recent functions and stuff. Beautiful game and story.

I think a teeny thing underneath the baby pen could help. Like a foam earplug to make it sit up higher would help.

Should I get one there not that expensive there like 60 I was gannah and should I get one of those or a lamy

These are so cute!

What's up Christy! I see you tried to sneak a little short video on my timeline. I almost didn't see it hiding under these longer videos. 😁3:19 - It always be the librarian type girls that got some hood in em.🤣 Thanks for the ASMR opening the packages. That always makes my day. 💜

I'm glad to see you. I've missed you. I too love Kubo and Lucy. I suspect you are a cat lady like me.

These are so adorable and you got a good assortment!

Hypnotic could be an appropriate name. Due to the produced efect and there is no another fountain pen with such a name, as far I am aware.

Omg lol I bought my undyed Galen leather just for the pen loop and the secretary pocket. Don’t use it as a wallet either for my olive tn. Sadly my olive is not green at all but brown. My standard olive has the green undertone. The brownish one did not have the suede feel as my greenish one did. I envy that patina how beautiful. Praying my passport patinas like my standard green olive did. I had the standard customized by Baum kuchen. Loved this video.

This box is very interesting. I’m excited to think I might get it, but I would like to know if it fits size A5 notebooks my personal favorites please let me know. Thank you.

I love the matcha bubble tea pen! So stunning!

I laughed when I saw your 10 Passport size inserts “Just waiting to be used”. I also have a collection of these…Just waiting…

Very nice stationary tips and the little kitty photos was so cute! 😇💜🙏🙌

Really like the thin leather insert for the Travelers Notebook! That looks perfect 👌🏼 thanks for sharing your favorites it was fun!

Just picked up this very model, hasn't arrived yet. Incredible price even taking into account the more expensive music nib. Can't wait for it to arrive, but one has to be circumspect given the state of international postage at the moment.

I have 2 Benus and both are mediums. If I get another, it’ll definitely be a fine. I bought my other 2 in my medium/broad era 😂 if I ever have a dry or seriously shimmery ink, it goes into the Benu and it’s always a much better experience. Also, the nib is always so smooth. It’s some kinda magic 😂✨

Great video. May I suggest a Pilot MS nib. Music Stub. I bought a Custom 74 with a MS nib. Would put some flair in your writing. Perfect for writing greetings card. Refer a review by Marcho Chiari. Tq.

What a sparkly pretty pen! I have 2 Benu's with medium nibs, I think if I buy another one it will be with a fine nib just to have some variety. Thank you for sharing Christy :)

It's very cool looking; I like it a lot, but that name is so damned stupid. I know it's some drink, but that doesn't help. I hate alcohol. If they give the pen a moronic name, conversely, I might buy a pen if I like the name, even if another pen might look a little better.

It's so pretty!

I think some of the Benu pens are really pretty but I am bugged by the gold in the pen and silver colored nib and clip. I like all components of a pen to match.

What's up Christie! You sure were excited to get into this box. You manhandled the thing. 😝I like the sparkles that Benu uses in their pens. 3:47 - I was looking forward to seeing what ink you were gonna put in there. I was already guessing. I was right, Orange. What would a violet ink look like in there? mmmm😋 Do you like purples?💜

I love Benu, have several, even one from Goldspot but this one is a dud. Looks like a yellow plastic pen and not worth the price. If you want a yellow pen buy a Kaweco sport frosty yellow for $30. If you want a Benu any other option is nicer than this one. Goldspot has some other great options for Benu.

My first Benu is a Talisman Sandalwood and I love it. So there will be more. 😁❤️

I dont need a new pen no not at all lol jk

These are all so adorable!!!

I have two Benu Euphorias and both are in Fine nibs. I love how juicy they are and yes, even my FWP shimmer inks (Cabernet on the Lake and Song of Scarlet) flow brilliantly. After having these inks in for weeks, the shimmer still hasn't clogged.

Intoxicating!! 😂 nice video !

Love your pen, I have the M Swansea and I love it! Glad you got one of Hogtown’s pens and are enjoying it!

I do feel the LX writes better than the regular. Now where you get that crab stand?

Thank you for sharing your pen and ink journey.

Lovely colours for October! Was looking for an additional golden yellow to add to my October Fall colours for 2nd half of month. By the time I finished watching your the video, I had already ordered the Wearingeul Star Spattered Hill. 😆 Thanks Kristi!

Loveee that red fox ink. It has got a gorgeous pink-red-orange quality that is so unique >.<
