Goulet Pens Podcast

In this episode, I talk about my go-to pen for trying out inks, if ink choice matters as much for high-end pens, and what's better for newbies: more pens or more ink!

In this episode, I talk about good fountain pen books, what's happening to all the broad nibs, and the weirdest pen I own!

A while ago, we did a Goulet Guest that featured Nock Co. to get the background of the company. But in this Quick Look, I wanted to dive into one of their specific pen cases, the Sinclair. The Sinclair is a combination of pen & notebook holder.

In this episode, I compare copper pens, talk about what inks look great in a demonstrator pen, and talk about the craziest products people send me to consider selling.

Last week for Goulet Q&A, we're threw the script out the window and answered your questions live as they came in through YouTube, Instagram Live, and Facebook Live! It was our first time doing this, so we hope you enjoyed it.

Earlier this year we did a very popular post called Top 7 Fountain Pen Mistakes which featured some of the low points of using a fountain pen (and how to avoid them!). Here we sought to turn that on its head and talk about some of the biggest wins you can experience as you start out. These wins may not even be something you know is in store for you, and that's the best part. As fountain pen users we can all experience these wins which is just icing on the cake from our normal writing experience. Here are 7 of the best Fountain Pen Wins we've experienced.

In this episode, I talk about fountain pens in space, the toughest part of the early Goulet Pens days, and what fountain pens mean to me on a personal level.

In this episode, I talk about eyedroppering pens, whether you should buy smaller or larger ink bottles, and ink that makes you crave food!

It's that time of year when we look back on all the great things that happened this past year. There were a ton of new products released throughout 2016, so it was tough to narrow it down to our favorite 10, but here we go... 10. Namiki Maki-e Collection (0:30) 9. Montegrappa Mule (0:54) 8. Visconti Special Ops (1:18) 7. Pilot Vanishing Point Decimo (1:39) 6. Delta Unica Matte Black (2:00) 5. Karas Kustoms (2:21) 4. Conklin Nighthawk (2:44) 3. Pilot Kakuno (3:05) 2. Edison Nouveau Premiere Water Lily (3:28) 1. Lamy Safari Dark Lilac (3:52)

In this episode, I talk about tacky holiday sweaters, I compare the Visconti Opera Master to the Pilot Custom 823, and which pen I'd use if it could only be one for a year!

In this episode, I talk about oddball ink colors, pen/ink/paper to write a letter to Santa, and official names for pen grips (who knew?).

Every Monday we host a giveaway on our blog where we match a pen & ink. Usually it's just a drawing, but Jenni our videographer decided to record this timelapse of hers. Hope you enjoy!

In this episode, I talk about wax seals for gift wrapping, if flex nibs work when writing in print, and my top 5 piston filling pens!

Timeless. Durable. Comfortable. Finding a pen that can stand the test of time can, well, take some time! You want something that bucks trends and has that classic appeal that will last for decades. It also needs to be made of tough stuff, to stand up to years of hard writing. Finally, it must feel good in your hand not just now, but in 20, 30, 40 years. We've put together a selection of fountain pens that you'll want to make a long term commitment to. They are stylish but not faddy, durable but not bulky, smooth writers but never boring. In short, they are the buy-it-oncer's dream pens.
