![The Benu Briolette Milky Way | From Create Materials to Well-Crafted Facets, It Shines.
After 4.5 years of ownership, is the Benu Briolette still a star in my collection? In this long-term review, we revisit the Benu Briolette in the stunning Milky Way resin. Originally purchased in 2021, this pen is famous for its bold, creatively colored resin and intricate faceting. I’ll break down how the craftsmanship has held up, give you a close-up look at the diamond styling, and put the #5 Schmidt nib to the test with a full writing sample.
If you are looking for a fountain pen that combines creatively colored resin with fine details and reliable performance, this review will help you decide if the Benu Briolette belongs on your desk in 2025.
Update: I forgot to mention in the video that Cultpens in the UK still has the Milky Way model available (at the time of this video’s release).
