I am a sparkle girl for sure, and when I started on my fountain pen quest, I was a little discouraged by the small amount of fountain pens that didn’t look boring and like my grandfather would use. I am absolutely obsessed with getting the Vodka on the Rocks Euphoria.
I've always felt Benu pens have been a bit gaudy, but this model seems so much more thought through, both in form and material. I think this is going to be rather more popular than their previous pens, and I hope they can keep up with production.
I bought the Bora Bora. If you want a pen that attracts attention, any of these models will definitely do it. I have small hands and it still feels comfortable to write for a long time. That flame pen is good-looking!
I just got Vodka on the Rocks. Bought it because it’s sparkly…and was very happy to find that the nib on mine (fine) is wonderful - wet and smooth with a whisper of feedback. Now I want a medium.
I’m going to a pen event tomorrow, and the seller running it sells Benu pens on their website - I’m hoping he will have some there so I can see one in person.
Dear David, Thanks for another great review. At last, there's a big enough BENU pen with a #6 nib and bit necessarily wild or weird looking! Once I get some cash together, maybe I'll purchase one. 😊
Not really seen many russian pens. This one seems interesting. Might give it a chance! I really like the Rurik's flags in the background! Fun little feature! Also do appreciate your work! The reviws are a nice pointer to new releases, thank you! I'm more into old pens and own a cpl of thousands that are rotated in use over time, but it's always great to watch newer pens that just might end up in the more modern part of my collection!
I've always appreciated just how unique the benu pens are. None have ever really appealed to me personally, but these have a nice form to them for sure.
Does anyone know if these pens are actually made in Moscow, Russia? Just wondering. And, I must say Benu pens have the most flash, bang, and sizzle of any brand.
Pretty cool that it comes with a converter, too bad it's $118 dollar's. I personally find it cool how Benu's acrylics really pop however for me that's kind of a turn off as a lot of them are just too much for me plus they're a bit pricey but I enjoyed the video so keep up the good work. Speaking acrylics have you thought of giving Penbbs another look? They've added some new models and come in a load of finishes, all at a very good price.
Sadly it is looking like later than sooner on the normalcy given the last few weeks. By 2022 we will be back to normal, but who knows if 2021 turns out to be a bummer like 2020 had been so far.
I’m struck by the comment “I miss boring…” I’ve said the very same thing repeatedly for several years now. I’m wondering if the most recent decidedly non-boring world event affects how you feel about this pen, given that it’s Russian made? I can’t help but feel a little different.
@@FigbootonPens thank you David. Knowing these deeper insights on the products and experiences you share on this channel is one of the main reasons I truly appreciate all that you do. Thank you

Still has flash, but some more functionality with a clip, and more useable size. I would expect it to do well, even at the price.

I love the Benu pens. I have five of them, with another on the way. And they all write beautifully, right out of the box.
I've been wanting to buy a Benu, but didn't like their shape. These are very appealing!
And finally a clip. So the Benu fun colors in a more normal pen shape.
Benu’s resin work is breathtaking.
Wow! You spoil us with all this great content. Thanks for providing so many fantastic videos during this weird time.
I like the color of this pen, and the variety of color styles in this lineup is impressive. Flashy but fun.

Benu finally makes pen with clip, and the clip looks nice too.

Since the company Benu is based out of Russia, the Rubik's cubes in the background are set so they make the Russian flag 🙏🙏👍👌 👌
I was wondering about that, good to know

Wow I love this pen! Very lucky guy 🍀

The company has made it known they are very displeased with current events. So much so that they are leaving the country and moving to Armenia.
@@FigbootonPens thank you David. Knowing these deeper insights on the products and experiences you share on this channel is one of the main reasons I truly appreciate all that you do. Thank you
Kindly help me to purchase between euphoria and diplomat aero. I am confused. I like fine nibs
Both are great...buy between the two, I personally prefer the Aero.
@@FigbootonPens thanks
