Architect Nibs, My Vintage Pen Collection, & TWSBI ECO Fluorite Spotlight | Goulet Q&A Ep. 356

In this episode, Brian shares your options if you buy a fountain pen and later decide you want a smaller nib size, breaks down which TWSBI models are (and aren’t) being discontinued, and explains how side-writers can still achieve writing that shows off the character of a stub nib. He also answers whether you can syringe-fill a LAMY 2000 through its filler hole, shows off his entire vintage pen collection, spotlights the TWSBI ECO Fluorite Purple with Bronze Trim, and much more! TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Intro 00:44 Feedback 06:19 New Stuff 10:32 Comp-nay Updates 11:44 1) I recently got my first LAMY 2000 with a Medium nib, but I now think I’d prefer a Fine. Can the nib be ground down to a Fine, or would I need to buy a new pen? 19:38 2) What TWSBIs are being discontinued? 21:45 3 I love the line variation of stub nibs, but my sideways grip gives me the opposite effect. Are there nibs — like an architect grind — that create reverse line variation without changing my grip? 36:08 4) With the LAMY 2000, can you use a syringe to fill through the filler hole for a completely full fill, even though you can’t see the ink level? 43:10 5) How many vintage pens do you own, and could you do a show-and-tell on them? What made those pens stand out to you despite not usually collecting vintage pens? 01:03:08 Pen Spotlight: TWSBI ECO Fluorite w/ Bronze 01:07:28 Brian’s Adventures 01:14:24 Fun Fact LINKS TO PRODUCTS FEATURED: New Stuff: Maiora Ultra Ogiva Golden Rule: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/maiora-ultra-ogiva-fountain-pen-golden-rule Maiora Capri (SE): https://www.gouletpens.com/products/maiora-capri-fountain-pen-special-edition BENU Haute Rosé Reverie: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/benu-haute-fountain-pen-rose-reverie-special-edition Diplomat Viper Blue Rollerball: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/diplomat-viper-gel-rollerball-pen-blue TWSBI ECO Fluorite Purple w/ Bronze: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/twsbi-eco-fountain-pen-fluorite-purple-w-bronze-trim Esterbrook X BUNGUBOX Kachofugetsu Flower Ink (LE): https://www.gouletpens.com/products/esterbrook-x-bungubox-kachofugetsu-flower-30ml-bottled-ink-limited-edition De Atramentis Apple Blossom: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/de-atramentis-apple-blossom-bottled-ink Robert Oster Cherry Blossom: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/robert-oster-cherry-blossom-50ml-bottled-ink Sailor Shikiori Yozakura: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/sailor-shikiori-yozakura-20ml-bottled-ink Robert Oster Australis Rose: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/robert-oster-australis-rose-50ml-bottled-ink Robert Oster Pink Squirrel: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/robert-oster-pink-squirrel-50ml-bottled-ink Ferris Wheel Press Blushing Mushroom: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/ferris-wheel-press-blushing-mushroom-20ml-bottled-ink SHOP at our store! https://www.gouletpens.com/ LEARN more on our blog! https://www.gouletpens.com/blogs/fountain-pen-blog SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/GP-YTsubscribe ABOUT GOULET PENS: Brian & Rachel Goulet started The Goulet Pen Company in 2009 and you can see the evolution of our mom and pop into a full-blown company through this channel.
