The Best Extra-Fine Nibs, Polishing Tips, + New Wearingeul Pens | Goulet Q&A Ep. 362

In this episode, Brian weighs in on whether overloading your feed with ink really creates a wetter writing experience, shares the best fountain pen brands for extra-fine nibs, recommends reliable plastic polishes, explains why some inks are easier to clean than others, spotlights two new pens from Wearingeul, and answers even more fountain pen questions! TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Intro 00:46 Feedback 10:01 New Stuff 15:04 Comp-nay Updates 16:20 1) Is it normal for my nib to dry out during extended writing, requiring me to turn the plunger to push more ink through? 24:51 2) Can you recommend a more adult-looking fountain pen with an extra-fine nib comparable to the Pilot Kakuno EF? Lamy, Kaweco, and TWSBI EF nibs are still too broad for my small handwriting. 30:44 3) Can an ink’s formula affect how easy or difficult it is to clean from a fountain pen? 34:26 4) What plastic polish would you recommend for removing scratches from a flea-market fountain pen? 42:23 5) Would you consider a paper showdown comparing ink absorption, sheen, shimmer, and toothiness across different papers using the same pens and inks? 56:55 Pen Spotlight: Wearingeul Literature Preface: A Glass Bead Game & A Dream within a Dream 01:10:31 Brian’s Adventures 01:21:26 What’s Back There: LEGO Japanese Red Maple Bonsai Tree 01:23:06 Fun Fact LINKS TO PRODUCTS FEATURED: New Stuff: Ferris Wheel Press The Copperleaf Guild: https://www.gouletpens.com/products/f...
