When the fountain pen company Benu reached out to me about the possibility of doing a review, I was ecstatic. Their pens are famous for their colorful, sparkly resins. What I didn't know, however, is just how amazing these pens are as writing tools. In this review, I cover the Benu Talisman Edelweiss, talking about its aesthetic, its inspiration in the Edelweiss plant, and also the intuitive features that make this pen wonderful to write with.
