Only one broad nib? I am surprised! However, I am not at all surprised that there were more than three pens on this list. 😂

Brian not able to choose 3 is such a Brian thing to do. Lotsa love from 🇲🇾

I like that you didn't limit it to pens you sell - I can tell you're a genuine lover of pens!

My Diamond 580 Prussian Blue was just delivered today from your site. My first fountain pen and I’m super excited.

For me, my every day carry pen is the Montblanc 149 Calligraphy Flex pen. The nib is so dreamy, smooth, responsive, wet, and flexy. I got it in February 2020, just as the global pandemic hit, and I got layed off work too. Through 2020 when all the craziness happened around the world, this pen gave me a little joy through the darkness. I found a new job, and things kept getting better, and this pen was there through all those times. So it's also very sentimental too in that regards. It was a great companion and comforter though those dark times, and it is an incredible writer too, to boot. I will never part with this pen.

Hi Brian, when I first started using and purchasing fountain pens, your store was the 1st and foremost online fountain store I would use. I may not frequent your store as much now, but your company has been the gold standard by which I judge (intentionally or not) every other online fountain pen store. Your videos have remained helpful, informative, fun, and have a professional quality not always seen on YouTube. Thank you sincerely, for all that you, your family and your team at Goulet Pens have given to us, fountain pens users over the many years. May this year bring you success, happiness, and joy. God Bless you all. 👍😎😇🙏.

The three that I always carry and use are:
1. Pilot Kakuno (medium) - I have this one with my passport Traveler's Notebook, so I use it all the time. Though I really wish it had a clip, but the size is perfect.
2. Pilot Custom 823 (broad) - This one is in a leather sleeve and lives in my purse. If I want to show off my fountain pens, this is the one that I use, and it's just a joy to write with:
3. LAMY Explorer (medium) - I had a layover in Munich, and I was wandering through the airport with tons of time to kill, and I saw a LAMY display in the airport! How cool is that?! So I stopped in and got one because I HAD to have a cool "this is my airport pen that I bought in Germany" pen. I use it all the time with my bullet journal.

Love this video!! It is fun to see what pens are everyones' every day carry. I would love to see everyones' else every day carry as well like Rachel, Drew, every other Goulet team member. It would be fun!

**chef's kiss** on the 'Traveler's Company Brass Fountain Pen' -
I usually have other pens rotating in and out of my EDC pen case, but the Traveler's is always there.

Brian's hand modelling is priceless!!!

[afroceltduck]

All my fountain pens are desk pens, but I always have two Platinum Plaisirs inked up, one black with Platinum Carbon Black ink, and one green with Noodler's Hunter Green. Those are both waterproof inks, but I have no issues with them thanks to that magic Platinum slip n seal cap!

Oooh. How I've missed these! I fell off of watching these, well, because when I watch these presentations, I buy a pen. (So, well played, gentlemen. Well played.) Great reviews, as per usual and I've been eyeing that pocket pen for ages. All metal pens are very attractive to me and I don't own anything that is all polished brass. I have a dip pen in brass but that's it. I miss the Goulet family but living in my means is the watch word for the near future.

[ExiledExia]

More than 3 pens? I’m shooked, shocked and shaken, sir! I would have never g… yeah this is no surprise 😁

[martham]

I have many pens at various price points including well-known gold nibed models, but I use the only one that doesn’t hard start or skip: the Platinum Preppy. It makes me sad that the others can’t live up to the $7 pen, but it’s the truth.

[RenoFencingMan]

I've been rocking a medium pilot vanishing point in black for the last 4-5 months. So much so that it's basically replaced all my other pens. Love it so much.

[dacksonflux]

The 3 pens I carry the most:
1. Twsbi eco m- I didn't expect to love it as much as I do. It's such a reliable pen.
2. Kaweco sport f- another one with a huge amount of ink, I can take one anywhere without worrying about it.
3. Lamy studio ef black- I love the black nib. This pen is great for on the fly jotting. I also paired it perfectly with a matching ink.

Brian, I'm always excited to see new videos from you and Drew. I have learned so much from them.

My go to every day carry pen is my Pilot Vanishing Point white/black EF. I work in retail and need a quick reliable pen that I'm not concerned with losing the cap. The Vanishing Point works great for me. It is not flashy, so I'm not worried someone will try to take it; but still impresses my customers when they use it to complete paperwork. I have recommended Goulet Pens to many of my customers.

I love the pencasts. 🖋 Turkey Hammock!!! 🦃

Well done Brian! Thank you for the journey; I've been along the whole time. You and your team and the channel helped me through the loss of my parents, pups, and 8 serious surgeries.. love that Sailor!
Thanks for everything!

Due to my current profession, I've been travelling a lot by air. Therefore, the pens I always carry more often than not are smaller pens that can seal the reservoir. I've been carrying 3 Opus 88 minis loaded with black (takesumi), blue (kon-peki), and a fun color right now with Robert Oster Tea time. THe ones I use in my office at work is the Lamy 2000, Pilot VP, and a sailor pro gear.

[shivhariks]

I carry 6 pens. But the three that always make the list are:-
1. Pilot Vanishing Point - F nib - Bought from Goulet pens actually
2. Lamy Safari Lilac - F nib
3. Diplomat Magnum - Medium nib
I keep switching the other 3. Sometimes if I feel brave, The pilot E95s comes out in my bag (Feel very protective of that one actually. Don't know why).
