The Most BUZZ-WORTHY Pen Yet?! | Goulet Q&A Ep. 316

In this episode, Brian lists the best shading water-resistant inks, recommends fountain pen inks that pop on black paper, and tackles the question: does mixing inks create a nib-destroying cocktail? Plus, a spotlight on the BENU Euphoria Galaxy Cocktail and the TWSBI ECO Serpentine Bronze pens and more!
