Old vs. New Conklin 1898 Clip + New Tom Hessin Magnetic Series! | Goulet Q&A Ep. 346

In this episode, Brian compares the old and new clips on the Conklin 1898, talks about which ink cartridges come with different pens, shares some pen-and-ink gift ideas, and answers the question: if he could bring one limited edition pen back, which would it be? He also spotlights the Tom Hessin Magnetic Series—and gives us a peek at his newest paintings and some Japanese urushi dishware. TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Intro 00:56 Feedback 05:19 New Stuff 09:29 Comp-nay Updates 11:32 1) Any fountain pens with a rubber grip like the Lamy Nexx but with a round grip? A gentle tripod grip like the TWSBI ECO is also fine. 17:15 2) I’m excited about the Conklin Streamline—rose gold, come on! Could you show the difference between the new clip on the 1898 Brooks model and the old clip? 19:51 3) A few Q&As ago you mentioned BENU pens include a Diamine Oxford Blue cartridge. Could you break down the different cartridges that come with pens—especially when brands outsource the ink to other companies? 26:52 4) I’m looking for a fountain pen gift set around $150 that includes a pen and bottled ink in an elegant box. Any recommendations? If not, is there a nice gift box or leather pouch that could hold a pen and ink? 35:01 5) Which Limited Edition pen would you resurrect from the grave if you could? 41:25 Pen Spotlight: Tom Hessin Magnetic Series 50:49 Brian’s Adventures 01:01:50 What’s Back There?: Urushi plate and chopsticks 01:04:43 Fun Fact LINKS TO PRODUCTS FEATURED: New Stuff: Diplomat Viper Silver: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/diplomat-viper-fountain-pen-silver Monteverde MP1 Collectible Foxy Orange: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/monteverde-mp1-collectible-fountain-pen-foxy-orange BENU Tribute Cézanne: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/benu-tribute-fountain-pen-cezanne BENU Tribute Matisse: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/benu-tribute-fountain-pen-kahlo BENU Tribute Monet: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/benu-tribute-fountain-pen-monet Diplomat Excellence A2 Violet Rain/Gold: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/diplomat-excellence-a2-fountain-pen-violet-rain-gold Tom Hessin Magnetic Series Carbon Steel: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/tom-hessin-magnetic-series-fountain-pen-carbon Tom Hessin Magnetic Series Ritz: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/tom-hessin-magnetic-series-fountain-pen-ritz Ferris Wheel Press The Twilight Symphony: https://www.gouletpens.com/collections/ferris-wheel-press-the-twilight-symphony Ferris Wheel Press Eightfold Fortune: https://www.gouletpens.com/collections/ferris-wheel-press-eightfold-fortune LAMY nexx: https://www.gouletpens.com/collections/lamy-nexx-fountain-pens LAMY studio brushed stainless steel: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/lamy-studio-fountain-pen-stainless-steel LAMY studio Lx all black: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/lamy-studio-fountain-pen-lx-black Noodler’s Pens: https://www.gouletpens.com/collections/noodlers?filter.p.product_type=Fountain+Pens Magna Carta: https://www.gouletpens.com/collections/magna-carta Esterbrook Model J: https://www.gouletpens.com/collections/esterbrook-model-j Visconti Homo Sapiens Bronze Age: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/visconti-homo-sapiens-fountain-pen-bronze-age Visconti Homo Sapiens Dark Age: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/visconti-homo-sapiens-fountain-pen-dark-age Faber-Castell Poly: https://www.gouletpens.com/collections/faber-castell-poly-fountain-pens LAMY blue: https://www.gouletpens.com/collections/lamy-blue Pilot Namiki Black: https://www.gouletpens.com/collections/pilot-namiki-black Platinum Black: https://www.gouletpens.com/collections/platinum-black Platinum Carbon Black: https://www.gouletpens.com/collections/platinum-carbon-black Sailor Black: https://www.gouletpens.com/collections/sailor-black Diamine Oxford Blue: https://www.gouletpens.com/collections/diamine-oxford-blue LAMY studio: https://www.gouletpens.com/collections/lamy-studio-fountain-pens TWSBI ECO: https://www.gouletpens.com/collections/twsbi-eco-fountain-pens TWSBI 580: https://www.gouletpens.com/collections/twsbi-580-fountain-pens Conklin Duragraph: https://www.gouletpens.com/collections/conklin-duragraph-fountain-pens Conklin 1898: https://www.gouletpens.com/collections/conklin-duragraph-fountain-pens TWSBI Precision: https://www.gouletpens.com/collections/twsbi-precision-fountain-pens Diplomat Viper: https://www.gouletpens.com/collections/diplomat-viper-fountain-pens Pilot Iroshizuku Kon-peki: https://www.gouletpens.com/collections/pilot-iroshizuku-kon-peki 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
