    Okay...the lighting is a bit messed up on this video and I look a bit orange. Not the best look...I know...but I didn't feel like shooting the entire thing over again. Forgive me. :-)

    Thanks so much for coming by, and for sharing this video about your experience. It’s so cool to get to hang out in person after so many years of virtual communication! Thanks for all the kind words, and for going through all the trouble to cook the bacon! I’m a little jealous of your Custom Urushi, I haven’t sprung for one myself yet (though I’ve been in love with the pen since I first saw it). I gotta have a limit somewhere, right? Right? ;) -Brian

    Thank you David. I watch all I your videos. I like your presentation style and you candid evaluations. They have influenced many of my pen purchases over the past few months since I have renewed my interest in fountain pens. I've viewed Brian video on his operation. And yours adds a welcome and different perspective. Well done! And keep them coming!

    I love the vibe of your videos. They feel so positive, with that simple yet profound passion around the topics you cover. And I also appreciate your explanations and the excitement around those. Really is something valuable that I just see in some youtube channels.

    Thank you for the tour. My favorite CZcams heros being gracious to each other, as they are to their audience and customers. Using my TWSBI Eco today, white and broadnibbed, with an unknown ink that is the most beautiful brownish red I’ve ever seen. I think instead of a bidet (an extra toilet)I’ll opt for an extra sink dedicated to pen maintenance. What a great idea with which to start the day.

  • @kapirk2244

    David--this video is a real treat. It's always nice to get a different look at something that interests you. I watch all the Goulet videos, so a different point of view is much appreciated.
    I was all set to ask you to share your recipe for Millionaire's Bacon, but after seeing the picture of your house, I think I'll pass😉.

    Thank you for the heads-up on the Goulet Pens visit. I enjoyed your photo postings and commentary, as well as the cooking lesson! It was nice to give the Edison folks some spotlight time! I did watch today’s Goulet segment, too, and learned quite a bit about your top pens and why you like them. Thank you for adding so much to the pen community.

  • @thewhamji
    @thewhamji Před 6 lety +10

    I am very new to the fountain pen world. I got my first pen about a month ago, and it was from Goulet. The pen can in the mail very quickly and I loved how easy the process was. The pen I got however was defective. BUT Goutlet was very quick to correct the issue, and they shipped me a new pen as soon as they were aware of the problem. Their customer service is excellent! I will definitely be buying pens from them again. No product is perfect, and sometimes you get a dud, but it's how you take care of the customer that counts, and the Goulet Pen Company is a 10 out of 10 in that department!

    • @JustBethTrying
      @JustBethTrying Před 5 lety

      Jeremy Ingram , I agree! I am also new to the fountain pen world and bought my first pen just a few weeks ago. The Goulet Pen Company is so welcoming and helpful. They have excellent customer service and make customers feel like part of the family!

    With that pen, you should collect the full size tootsie pop. lol. The video was great, the hour really did fly past! Glad you had a good time. That picture of the warehouse full of pens and notebooks is amazing, certainly raises my heart rate 🤓🖋🗒. Thanks for another great video.

    Great video, thank you for sharing your experience! I'm eying those cabinets too, but for my watercolor papers, though for those I would need something that can be shut airtight, which is always a problem. But for pens, they seem nice. I never want to own enough pens to justify such a cabinet. X;D

    Hello and Congratulations on Birthday and your Your Tube milestone. I haven't watched many of your videos but I do remember your showing how to "flush out" a fountain pen with one of those baby nose irrigation bulbs. I may have to pick up another one as mine was thrown out many years ago. (my baby is now 24). Keep up the good work!!

  • @annamarielewis7078

    Thank you!
    That was a nice insight into the company.
    Just a quick question: when you mention the ink bottles that don't fit, I couldn't quite understand the second brand you mention. Could you tell me what it is? Thanks in advance.

  • @randy-9842
    @randy-9842 Před 6 lety

    You had to mention the Tootsie Pops and the Bacon. Now I'm hungry for yet another order from the Goulets for the first and a trip to the grocers for the latter. Hopefully without the smoke though. :D
    Others have said it all better than I could, so I'll just say thanks for this video (and all your others). Your videos are real treats that make me smile.

    @bikkies Před 3 lety

    I've only placed 2 orders so far with Goulet, for very entry level items (just a couple of Metros) but I definitely like what I see. I pick up a strong sense of "do what you believe in and believe in what you do". I'm in the UK and our import charges may make placing higher value orders with Goulet a little prohibitive, but that isn't their fault. I will definitely be speaking with them soon about a Lamy 2000. I just fear that I will be speaking with them a lot more as my addiction develops. Ah well, at least it keeps my credit card provider happy eh?

    • @hackersunited2000
      @hackersunited2000 Před 6 lety

      It's quite surprising how jolting they become once you start paying attention to them. I'm quite certain these videos are scripted (in fact, I believe in a few older videos a computer monitor with a text document or a paper of some sort can be seen reflected off of David's glasses), and as such any stuttering or vocal stints are either habitual or in some other way completely unnecessary. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy David's videos, but the incessant interruptions (often at the beginnings of sentences) result in me straying more towards more "polished" reviewers, even if that is due to more clipping/editing.

    Hey buddy, IKEA actually sells a storage device in their kitchenware section for storing spice jars in draw at an angle, so they'll fit in a draw, but they are not laying flat in their sides and cannot spill! You might look into this! I wish I could remember what it was called for you.
