Goulet Pens Podcast

The Cross Century II is the last of our newly offered Cross brand of pens at Gouletpens.com for this summer, and this Quick Look video should give you a pretty solid overview of the model. Cross pens in general are for the working professional, the brand name is recognized by many in the corporate world. Even beyond the status, these are nice writing pens that legit fountain pen users will enjoy.

In this week's Q&A, Brian talks about his ink swab process, his fanciest pens, and what he learned from working with his dad.

Maruman Mnemosyne is a Rhoda-quality paper brand coming out of Japan that has some interesting rulings. Named after the Greek goddess of memory, these notebooks are handy for lots of note-taking purposes. This video covers dang-near everything you'd want to know about these things!

Number 87 coming at you today! This week Brian compares a Lamy 2000 to the Pilot Custom Heritage 92, how to keep straight which ink is in which pen, and what it would take for him to give up his two favorite pens. 

The Cross Townsend is a rather iconic model of pen, recognized in many corporate circles as a status symbol of sorts. Several of our U.S. Presidents have even signed bills into law using this model of pen. And it makes sense, it's a very stately, professional looking and feeling pen. So today, I'll give you some of the highlights of what the Townsend is all about. We have 7 finishes available at GouletPens.com, two of them with stainless steel nibs, and five with 18k gold nibs.

In this week's Q&A, I'm talking about mailing pens, Omas vs. Pilot flex nibs, and why pens have hard starts. Come hang out with me!

Hey there fountain pen fans, let's take a quick look at the Cross Botanica. This pen is very much a fashion pen that is one of the most unique and visually impressive pens I’ve ever seen. I’m rather smitten with it even though it's a total deviation from the pens I'm normally drawn to.

Sometimes you need to write, and you need to write fast.  Traditional fountain pens have the screw cap- great for slowing you down and to enjoy your writing experience, but when the clock is ticking, grab a quick draw! Brian has a line up of snap cap, click-able, easy openers to help you accelerate your writing.

Welcome to Goulet Q&A Episode 85! I'm answering questions on filling mechanisms, my favorite Noodler's inks, and the story behind the Goulet logo. We're enjoying the 4th of July holiday here at Goulet and hope you have a fantastic celebration as well! 

Here's a quick look at the Pilot Custom 74. This pen has proven itself to be Brian's #1 go-to daily writer. It’s an attractive pen, but what draws him to it the most is how beautifully it writes.

Inky splatter acceptance is an integral part of working here at the Goulet Pen Company. This video demonstrates our extensive training program and the experience that many employees may have while undergoing this training. No employees were harmed in the making of this video. The sweater and shirt are in a more colorful place.

In this week's Q&A, Brian finally gives an update on the TWSBI Eco, talks about erasable inks, and why you might want to think twice about shoving a kitchen knife in between your nib tines. Enjoy!

Summer is the season of travel and while some vacations are for rest and relaxation, others are for exploration and discovery. If you are headed off on an expedition, especially of a vast region like Europe or Asia, you will be covering large distances and will want to travel light. A great pen and travel notebook are a fantastic way to record your thoughts, do some doodles, and record all those addresses and train schedules while on the move. We've got a selection of perfect portable pens, notebooks, and ink that will fit into your backpack and budget.

Some people might consider Memorial Day where the pools open as the start of summer. Others might think of their kids getting let out of school. But for us at GouletPens.com, the real change of seasons happens with the announcement of our Edison Nouveau Premiere 2015 Summer Edition called Fireball!
