TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Intro 01:02 Feedback 04:28 New Stuff 07:13 Comp-nay Updates 10:41 1) I noticed a folded brass pen in your off-camera dip pen carousel—could you show it and share where it’s from? 20:02 2) Why does Rhodia label products with numbers like #12, #16, and #18—do these correspond to A-sizes, and do other brands do this? 24:53 3) I recently got Emerald of Chivor and want to dedicate a Pilot Parallel to it. What’s the best approach—converter or cartridge? 30:09 4) I’ve noticed that my TWSBI 580 1.1 stub writes wider than my Eco 1.1 stubs. Is the 1.1 mm measurement approximate and able to vary by model, even within the same brand? 33:07 5) I enjoy stub nibs (my Visconti 1.1 is daily), but my Hobonichi’s tiny grid makes me want smaller stubs. What pens come with smaller stubs than 1.1, and could I swap a stub into my Sailor 1911 Ninja fine? 39:07 6) How far in advance do you typically get information about limited editions, like SCRIBO releases? 48:23 Pen Spotlight 55:16 What’s Back There 57:44 Fun Fact LINKS TO PRODUCTS FEATURED: New Stuff: Mystery Bundle: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/mystery-bundle-003 Pelikan M815 Metal Striped Black (SE): https://www.gouletpens.com/products/pelikan-m815-fountain-pen-metal-striped-black-special-edition Rhodia Products: https://www.gouletpens.com/collections/rhodia Jacques Herbin 1670 Emerald of Chivor: https://www.gouletpens.com/collections/jacques-herbin-1670-emerald-of-chivor Pilot Parallel: https://www.gouletpens.com/collections/pilot-parallel-fountain-pens Diplomat Aero Ice Blue: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/diplomat-aero-fountain-pen-ice-blue-special-edition Diplomat Aero Cranberry/Gold: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/diplomat-aero-fountain-pen-cranberry-gold-special-edition Diplomat Aero Fuchsia: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/diplomat-aero-fountain-pen-fuchsia-special-edition Diplomat Aero Mint: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/diplomat-aero-fountain-pen-mint-special-edition Visconti Homo Sapiens Dark Age: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/visconti-homo-sapiens-fountain-pen-dark-age-custom-nib-grind Tomoe River Paper: https://www.gouletpens.com/collections/tomoe-river SCRIBO: https://www.gouletpens.com/collections/scribo 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.
