Diplomat Aero

I love the feel of this pen, its weight is to my preference. It has given me some dry starts during writing repeatedly, but I suspect this is paper related. The medium is definitely wet and wide by Western standards. I may purchase a fine nib replacement some day. The pen is very attractive and was a good purchase.

Great Everyday writer

Great writer. Just heavy enough as a metal pen, but not too much to fatigue your hand while writing.
Well balanced
Beautiful colors
My broad nib writes bold and wet

Cons: The clip can be hard to pinch out over a shirt pocket, but it functions well. The posting is not as secure as I'd like.

Another great Aero

I promised myself that I would not buy another Aero but I could not resist the color of this one. I got the fine nib this time. Fantastic writer. Beautiful color. Fantastic pen. 'Nuff said.

One Beautiful Aero.

Admittedly, Diplomat Aeros are far and away my preferred fountain pen. This is my 7th.. With that said, this Marrakesh Brown/Gold edition is absolutely gorgeous. Honestly, the lacquered finish is well beyond what I expected and the quality of it is perfect! I'm so pleased Goulet was able to get this beautiful edition and that I was able to get my hands on one.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use this pen with ink cartridges? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

A cartridge is small, disposable, sealed plastic reservoir that holds fountain pen ink. These come pre-filled with ink, and typically you just push to insert them into place and you'll be ready to write!

This pen uses standard international ink cartridges, a common size which is available in many colors from various brands.

You can learn more about how to actually install an ink cartridge on our blog, or in this video tutorial:

How do I use a converter? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

A converter goes in the place of where the ink cartridge would normally go. From there, you can fill your fountain pen from bottled ink.

A converter is a detachable and refillable ink reservoir that allows you to use bottled ink in a cartridge-accepting pen. Typically you will install the converter into the grip section, dip the nib/feed into the ink, and twist or pull the converter knob to draw ink into the converter.

We have a great video showing how to use a converter here:

How do I clean this fountain pen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It mostly comes down to flushing out the pen with water, and sometimes a little bit of pen flush if the ink is really stuck. 

We put together a blog post with step-by-step instructions, or you can watch the video here:

We recommend a good cleaning every 2 weeks, and any time you change ink colors. Water will usually do the trick, but we recommend you use our Goulet Pen Flush if the ink has been left in the pen for a while and could have dried up, or when you’re switching ink colors.

For even more information about fountain pen cleaning, check out our Fountain Pen 101 video blog post.
