If one is a Pen and Ink person we have all been there! Nice to know I am not the only one. Your recovery comments have provided a good chuckle and this may end up being my favorite video of the entirety of 2025. You have a great company, have a better day and best wishes for the new year. Cheers, Greg.
Lovly pen! Also after the past few days, I needed this video. Your Bob Ross inspired happy little accident gave me a much needed laugh. Thank you, love this color combination. Thanks again
This one looks pretty too! Side note: I'm currently trying different paper to make Émeraude de Chivor sheen properly and Iroful worked very well, better than Tomoe River (2023). Haven't tried Rhodia yet
I have a 580 which I think I got from Goulet Pens, with a stub nib, which does well with shimmer inks. You've shown us a beauty. I appreciate that you just let us see the vexing moment of spill. When I introduce newcomers to our happy hobby, I invite them to open new bottles of ink over their fine linen, for the spectacular effects. They get it. Now, I think I'll refer them to this video!
I guess the drawback of opening the box from the bottom without breaking the seal, is that you think you have a new bottle when in fact you had previously opened it and put back the bottle upside down.
Very relaxing and a very realistic overview of using fountain pens, Im always covered in ink! If I think I've got away ink free it just generally means I'll have some on my face or some somewhere obscute (to me) on my clothes!! Its all part of the fun and makes a good talking point with non pen users who can't understand why I enjoy such an 'archaic' hobby, or think I have some awful skin disease!
One of the first things that I do.after filling the pen is to put the lid back on the bottle or I fear I would knock over the bottle and much more ink for my "happy accident"!
I just love the natural flow of this Ink ASMR video. Everyday life in an extraordinary fashion😂😉. The Jacques Herbin 1670 Turguoise de Perse bottled ink is gorgeous, and the TWSBI Diamond 580ALR is a good choice.😊1:1.
I love your Bob Ross reference because that is exactly how you sound! Or you could try auditioning for the CALM app 😅 You had me laughing throughout! Great ink and pen.
Greetings Brian! Thanks for showing us the Turquoise de Perse ink (very nice, by the way) and the TWSBI 580 ALR in that nice color! Transparent "demonstrator" type pens are ideal for using shimmer inks in, as you can see while you are writing when the shimmer starts to settle, and you just agitate the pen and keep on writing. It is also nice to know that I am not the only one in the FP community that spills ink on myself and various notepads, etc!
I love that J. Herbin ink. I am of the opinion that you don't really know an ink until you spill it a little. Spilling it on your fingers gave you two rings matching with your original ring. Nice choice! There seems to be so much shimmer, would you recommend using a larger nib, maybe broad to 1.1?
I bought this last month and it's quickly become one of my favorite inks. I would recommend using a stub nib twsbi or a flex pen to get the best use out of it.
Lol so your voice is not like Bob Ross. It reminded me of the Jeff Bridges can I help you sleep albulm. Which probably a lot of people dont know about but can hear it free on some streaming music platform. Jeff Bridges in very soft, calm voice, just talking nonsensical stories, making them up as he goes. Its honestly pretty awesome. This reminded me more of that
Would you please pretty please compare this twisbi to the Monteverde MP1 same nibs as close as possible and inks PLEASE. I love the Monteverde. Thank you. Hope you got your hands clean and thanks for the laugh.. I so would and have done the same thing. Love the herbin ink also. Bthx
Okay, call me an old curmudgeon, but unless I'm listening to a guided meditation, I'm not a fan of the ASMR voice, especially for an imformational video. But great ink. Thanks for sharing.
You're doing a fantastic job! I need some advice: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (mistake turkey blossom warfare blade until bachelor fall squeeze today flee guitar). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
Great ink, great review. Worst audio of any of your videos I have watched over the last 15 years. Even with the tablet gain all the way up with corded Apple buds, I struggled to make out most of the words.
The contrast between the calm voice and the absolute chaos on the screen was chef's kiss.
The level of calm and meditative tone has me unsure if the spill was an accident or staged...brilliant reaction either way. lol
or... maybe the voice over was done later
@vrindam1247 yes. But even in voice overs, I've heard people still have some level of reaction again.
OMG that spill was so awesome and so unexpected. It was as if I was doing the review myself. Love it.

Big respect for not refilming this! Love it. ASMR-type calm.
I could barely hear you, even with the volume all the way up, but it looks nice.
I do like the format of just showing off a pen and ink combo.
More ink reviews need to show us what it looks like when it gets on your fingers. Thanks Brian!

I really appreciate the calmer tone of the video! Thanks for this 😊

Great video - also digging your Benchmade bugout with the blue grivory scales and blue thumb studs!
I love the Jacques Herbin inks. :)
Fountain pens as ASMR!
Wow i am so close to adding this twsbi to my collection!! It looks so pretty with this shimmer ink too 😍

Looked like the plastic covering went over the entire box.

Dipping your toes into the realm of ASMR I see. Very enjoyable indeed Brian.
way to keep it real Brian!! great post! enjoyed and inspired me to keep enjoying my fountain pens and inks!

I love this video, this is so funny and relaxing at the same time. 😅

3:36 😂 this part, next few seconds are hilarious apart from the beautiful ink
Thanks for sharing, I love a shimmering ink

Beautiful pen!
"It's a decision I make in the moment." Classic!
I bought this last month and it's quickly become one of my favorite inks. I would recommend using a stub nib twsbi or a flex pen to get the best use out of it.
Pretty. Do you have a recommendation for this color but without shimmer?
The full experience for using a fountain pen.
Love the pen and ink.
Nice combo!
Spilling ink is how Picasso got started.
Don't quote me on that.
Not a fan of TWSBI anymore, but I love that color and I love the ink too.
Also love the Bob Ross voice!
Love everything about this video
That ink and that pen look like a marriage made in heaven!
This happens to me most of the time. Thanks for this video

Love the ink and pen thanks.
The Bob Ross of ink and pen, lol. ah you mentioned him, that's funny
Next time, can you review Baystate Blue by demonstrating what happens when you gargle with it?
if using in a cartridge like one from Tom's, will the shimmer work? or dry out in the cartridge?
Nice Mini Bugout
If you don't get the shirt, it's not a real spill.
Why is this video sooooo quiet? It’s hard to hear.
You're doing a fantastic job! I need some advice: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (mistake turkey blossom warfare blade until bachelor fall squeeze today flee guitar). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
That’s how I ink my pens! 😂 Pam
Please, name of that watch?
Casio G-Shock GAS100B - Brian Goulet
Thanks @@Gouletpens
Inky Bob Ross
No comment!!!
🤣LOL!
Nope... not for me... the ink and the ASMR approach.
Me talking to my mom when i need money 🙊🩴💸
Speak up!
Great ink, great review. Worst audio of any of your videos I have watched over the last 15 years. Even with the tablet gain all the way up with corded Apple buds, I struggled to make out most of the words.
Uhh, i don't like that style of video, with that "calm" audio overlay.
