[Pen/Pencil Review] The Editing Pen Side-by-Side Comparison

[Pen/Pencil Review] Another Editing Pen for the Holidays – the Pentel Slicci 0.25mm in Red
I told you there would be a slight Christmas theme this month – the color red. Normally, I’m a green person (color not eco-nazi – though I do like to recycle and take care of the planet), but this year… Christmas 2011 is the Year O’ Red. Don’t know why. So today I give you…The […]

I’ve seen a lot of chatter on many of the pen blogs and sales sites on the awesomeness of the Pilot FriXon Erasable Gel Pen. A lot of people seem to really like this pen, and why not? It’s a gel pen that comes in a variety of colors – and now highlighters. It’s a […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Smaller is Better – For Editing – the Pilot Hi-Tec-C 0.25mm
