04:48 New Stuff
06:42 Comp-nay Updates
07:42 1) Can we get an ink eradicator demo? Also, will the price increases on Sailor pens impact inventory already in stock at Goulet Pens?
15:48 2) As someone who wears an automatic watch, should I worry about magnetic fountain pen caps (like Monteverde's) affecting my watch's accuracy while writing?
24:00 3) Buenos Aires’ humidity swings from 30% to 99% in a day which causes my fountain pens to often dry out or leak. Is there a way to manage this, or is switching to higher-end pens the only real solution?
31:53 4) Does TWSBI have any time table on the releases of their mini pens?
33:50 5) Can you talk a little about blotting papers?
42:38 6) I’ve used Rotring Art Pens for drawing and recently tried pocket pens like Traveler’s and the Kaweco Sport, my first time using pens with a breather hole. How necessary is the breather hole, or is it just a nod to traditional quill designs?
