In Episode 311 of Goulet Q&A, Brian unveils our newest exclusive BENU Euphoria and takes a look back at past favorites from the collection. He also shares tips on choosing rough-out leather pen sleeves, discusses the do’s and don’ts of using pigmented ink in gold-nib pens, and answers more of your pen and ink questions! TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Intro 01:06 Feedback 07:12 New Stuff 13:07 Comp-nay Updates 14:49 1) At what weight does a fountain pen feel truly 'substantial'? And can a light but chunky pen still earn that title? 22:47 2) How hard would it be to get a rough-out leather pen sleeve? 29:11 3) I just got my first gold nib fountain pen. Can I safely use Sailor Souboku with it? And does the fact that it’s a fine nib make a difference? 33:15 4) I came across the Pilot Parallel ink cartridges while looking for a colorful variety pack. Are these cartridges safe to use in other fountain pens, or are they designed exclusively for the Pilot Parallel? 42:16 5) Can you share a quick timeline of Franklin-Christoph Goulet exclusives? I have Ascension Wing, Boundless Horizon, and Andromeda. 47:32 Pen Spotlight 01:02:11 Brian’s Adventures 01:09:30 Fun Fact LINKS TO PRODUCTS FEATURED: Delta Signs of Time Classical Art (SE): https://www.gouletpens.com/products/delta-signs-of-time-fountain-pen-classical-art-special-edition Delta Signs of Time Cave Painting (SE): https://www.gouletpens.com/products/delta-signs-of-time-fountain-pen-cave-painting-special-edition BENU Euphoria Blackberry Mint: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/benu-euphoria-fountain-pen-blackberry-mint-special-edition BENU Euphoria Summer Spritz (LE): https://www.gouletpens.com/products/benu-euphoria-fountain-pen-summer-spritz Pilot VP Birchwood Red: Red:https://www.gouletpens.com/products/pilot-vanishing-point-fountain-pen-birchwood-red Pilot VP Birchwood Black: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/pilot-vanishing-point-fountain-pen-birchwood-black F-C Model 31 Exclusives Boundless Horizon 2024: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/franklin-christoph-model-31-fountain-pen-boundless-horizon-limited-edition Fabalone Abalone 2025: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/franklin-christoph-model-31-fountain-pen-fabalone-abalone-limited-edition BENU Euphoria GPC Eclusives Confetti Milkshake: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/benu-euphoria-fountain-pen-confetti-milkshake-special-edition Earl Grey: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/benu-euphoria-fountain-pen-earl-grey-special-edition Iced Caramel Latte: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/benu-euphoria-fountain-pen-iced-caramel-latte Lavender Lemonade: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/benu-euphoria-fountain-pen-lavender-lemonade-special-edition Matcha Latte: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/benu-euphoria-fountain-pen-matcha-latte Neopolitan: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/benu-euphoria-fountain-pen-neapolitan-ice-cream-special-edition Rose Tea: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/benu-euphoria-fountain-pen-rose-tea-special-edition SHOP at our store! https://www.gouletpens.com/ LEARN more on our blog! https://www.gouletpens.com/blogs/fountain-pen-blog LISTEN to The Goulet Pencast here: https://gouletpencast.fireside.fm/ 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.
