TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Intro 01:06 Feedback 08:39 New Stuff 14:47 Comp-nay Updates 16:34 1) Any recommendations for a piston or vacuum-filling fountain pen with a snap or magnetic cap (that posts well for quick note-taking)? Or would a TWSBI 580 stay usable if left uncapped for about an hour? 25:11 2) Hi Brian, are there different types of snap cap mechanisms? I’ve noticed some loosen over time with use while others don’t—can you explain why that happens? 41:33 3) Are there any piston-filling fountain pens with a fude nib? If so, where can I find one? 44:41 4) Have you considered expanding into planner-style stationery, similar to the old scrapbooking trend? (If not, my budget thanks you.) 51:08 5) Hi Brian, can you recommend fountain pen inks (preferably blue or black) that don’t leave residue or coat the inside of demonstrator barrels? I’m looking for inks that keep the barrel looking clear. 01:11:16 Pen Spotlight: Sailor 1911 Casual L 01:24:35 Brian’s Adventures LINKS TO PRODUCTS FEATURED: New Stuff: Sailor 1911 Casual L: https://www.gouletpens.com/collections/sailor-1911-casual-l-fountain-pens G.
