I started a Fountain Pen 101 Series more than three years ago, and ever since then at GouletPens.com we've been getting asked about doing one especially for left-handed fountain pen users. It's a great idea...but I'm definitely not a lefty! Well, we've talked to a lot of lefties and put together the best information we could (with some left-handed chicken-scratch to demonstrate). Enjoy!

Thanks for joining me for another great episode of Goulet Q&A! I'm back from vacation and showing off the exciting new Pilot Metropolitan colors. I'm answering questions on nib grinders, Midori paper, and what kind of boss I am. Get ready- it's a good one!

This week, Brian talks about his most disliked inks, good pens for 10-year old piano students, how often inks break in Goulet packages, and the Goulet social media strategy. It's a good one, enjoy!

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.
