Shaggy's Left Handed Journey In Writing

Hello readers,

Today I wanted to share my thoughts on my new BENU pen, now that I have had a chance to write with it a decent amount. I have carried this pen with me every day since getting it, but that could just be because it is my newest pen. Of the many pens offered by BENU, the new lavender Talisman was the first one that seemed just perfect for me. Now on to what I think of the pen itself.

First thing that I enjoy about this is the way it looks. From the first moment I pulled it out of the box to every time I pull it out of the pen sleeve, I just have to pause and just appreciate the look of the pen. One nice part of the way this pen looks is the fact that even compared to other lavender pens from BENU, they will all be slightly different from each other. There is a real sense of uniqueness to these pens.

Now for some of the specs of the pen itself, which I got from Goulet Pens, and how I feel about some of them. The body has a length of 5.12 inches, and the cap has a length of 2.53 inches. When capped, this pen has a total length of 5.45 inches. The cap does post, but I just can’t bring myself to post this pen at all. When posted it has a total length of 6.56 inches. I think the pen is sized just right to not need posting as well, so that is another reason that I do not post this pen. The body has a diameter of .56 inches, with a grip section diameter of .39 inches. This is nearly a perfect size for my hand and I am able to write for long periods of time with this pen. When empty this pen weighs 12 grams, and the cap weighs 8 grams. This gives a total empty wieght of 20 grams, but it really doesn’t feel heavy in my hand. Since there are no holes in the body of the pen, and it is made of resin, it could be filled as an eyedropper pen. I am not a very big fan of filling a pen like that, so I am just using the converter that came with the pen, but it will also take standard international converters.

One of the biggest reasons that I like this pen is the fact that it actually has bits of lavender flowers in the resin of the pen. This actually gives the pen a subtle scent of lavender, especially in the cap. I have never heard of a pen having a good smell necessarily, mainly just horror stories about old Noodler pens, so I think this is a very unique factor.

I would definitely recommend trying out a BENU pen if it is possible. Their pens write very nicely and look stunning. Even the fine nib that I got feels nice on the paper with little feedback. I would almost compare the smoothness of this nib to my Lamy left-handed nib that I have.

Well that is going to do it for my review of the BENU Lavender Talisman pen. While I think this particular pen is no longer availabe, I think the other Talisman pens are going to have the same specs and write just as nicely. Have any of you purchased a BENU pen? How do you like it if you have? I would love to hear your thoughts on the either the company or the pens themselves, so please feel free to leave a comment. I am still deciding what pens I am going to be using for the month, but that will be my next post coming soon. Until the next time friends. Stay happy and healthy, and keep on learning!
