The MOST Custom LAMY safari EVER Made! | Goulet Q&A Ep. 323

In this episode, Brian recommends the best pens for long writing sessions, explains exactly what “lubricated” inks are, answers why pens leak when writing on a hot day, shows which converter fit the Esterbrook Niblet, and spotlights the new special edition LAMY safari multi ring sets, and more! TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Intro 01:12 Feedback 05:40 New Stuff 20:16 Comp-nay Updates 22:17 1) Need an effortless writer for heavy exam prep: TWSBI ECO, ECO T, 580, or GO? Fine or medium nib? 30:34 2) I saw Kon-Peki listed as not lubricated, but I’ve always heard Iroshizuku inks are. Also, Noodler’s Eel is listed as lubricated, though I’ve heard that’s more for maintenance than writing. What’s the truth? 38:28 3) Does the Esterbrook Niblet come with a converter or not? 44:31 4) My Sheaffer 100 leaked after 45 min in the sun with Monteverde Scotch Brown, but stopped indoors. Is ink normally this heat-sensitive, and are some inks more affected than others? 51:40 5) I like to curate my cart over time, but I’ve noticed items eventually disappear. Why do carts get deleted, and how does the business side of online carts work? 01:05:26 6) If you knew then what you know now, what fountain pen advice would you give your beginner self? 01:29:56 Pen Spotlight 01:37:06 Brian’s Adventures 01:42:24 Fun Fact LINKS TO PRODUCTS FEATURED: Conklin 1898 Primary Manipulation 5.0 Chrome (LE): https://www.gouletpens.com/products/conklin-1898-fountain-pen-primary-manipulation-5-0-chrome-limited-edition Magna Carta Mag 600 Pale Cream Rainbow Opalescence (SE): https://www.gouletpens.com/products/magna-carta-mag-600-fountain-pen-pale-cream-rainbow-opalescence-special-edition Pelikan M815 Metal Striped Blue (SE): https://www.gouletpens.com/products/pelikan-m815-fountain-pen-metal-striped-blue-special-edition Pelikan M200 Red Marbled (SE): https://www.gouletpens.com/products/pelikan-m200-fountain-pen-red-marbled-special-edition Monteverde MP1 Collectible Mocha Mousse (SE): https://www.gouletpens.com/products/monteverde-mp1-collectible-fountain-pen-mocha-mousse-special-edition Platinum Izumo Karin-Kobu (LE): https://www.gouletpens.com/products/platinum-izumo-fountain-pen-karin-kobu-limited-edition TWSBI 580ALR Affogato w/ Onyx: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/twsbi-diamond-580alr-fountain-pen-affogato-w-onyx Platinum Curidas Stone Collection: https://www.gouletpens.com/collections/platinum-curidas-fountain-pens Rhodia No. 16 A5 Greenpad - Black, Lined: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/rhodia-no-16-a5-greenpad-black-lined?_pos=1&_psq=greenpad&_ss=e&_v=1.0 TWSBI ECO & ECO-T: https://www.gouletpens.com/collections/twsbi-eco-fountain-pens Pilot Iroshizuku Kon-peki: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/pilot-iroshizuku-kon-peki-50ml-bottled-ink Esterbrook Niblet Pens: https://www.gouletpens.com/collections/esterbrook-niblet-fountain-pens LAMY safari Pens: https://www.gouletpens.com/collections/lamy-safari-fountain-pens 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.
