[Pen/Pencil Review] BIC Cristal ReNew Re-Fillable Pen and 2 Refills, Black
Today is National Ball Point Pen Day, which seemed like a good time to another pen blog – and to start making it more of a habit. And there’s nothing more classic on National Ball Point Pen Day than a BIC stick pen. Today we’re talking about the BIC Cristal ReNew Re-Fillable Pen. I know […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Baux Pen Company
This week’s pen review is going to be a little bit different. It’s a pen, but with no writing sample – for reasons that shall become clear. This particular pen was a birthday gift from Jimmy through a Kickstarter project so there’s going to be a few unusual bits. The pen comes from the same […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pentel Superb Mini Ballpoint Pen – Blue
I’ve written about the RSVP fine point stick pens. They still remain among some of my all time favorites. Today, I’m focusing on a slightly different Pentel stick pen – the Superb MINI. This one is blue. This is an moderately inexpensive “everyday†pen. The pen is short – hence the “mini†aspect. It’s 4.6†[…]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Post Convention/Birthday Drive By
This past weekend was both ConDFW and my birthday (thanks to everyone who came by the convention and wished me a happy birthday whether in person or online). But that made for a very busy weekend, so today’s day off was full of catch up — and seeing Black Panther because…well, BLACK PANTHER!!!! This was […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Baltimore Airport Stylus Pen – Black Ink
I had a lot of time to kill in the Baltimore airport a couple of weeks ago, so I did goofy shopping – some Christmas some not. One of the things I picked up was a Baltimore ballpoint & stylus pen in one of the gift shops – in green (the barrel, not the ink). […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] BIC Cristal Bold Rerun with Explanation
This is going to be a rerun post, because I totally left a bunch of pens at home that I might still need to do, and it’s yoga night. HOWEVER… I’ve been drawn today to a basic BIC Cristal stick pen – which I believe is the 1.0mm in the writing sample at the end […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] BIC Xtra Precise Ballpoint Pen – Multiple Colors
I have a problem. Back-to-School displays are my weakness. I went into Walgreens and discovered a new line of BIC Cristal stick pens – Xtra Precision multi-pack with “fun and colorful capsâ€. Neither cap nor color drew me to these pens. The “Xtra†and the “Fine†point did. I had to give them an “Xtra†[…]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Paper Mate InkJoy Stylus Triangular Ballpoint in Purple
Today’s blog post… I revisit Paper Mate’s InkJoy. This is the Stylus stick triangular pen in purple ink. I picked this one up at Office Max. I keep coming back every so often to InkJoy because I really WANT to feel the Joy. I really do. I know people who love these pens. Alas…I am […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pilot Acroball Pure White 0.7mm Black Ink
We return to Pilot this week with another fun staple pen – which I could’ve sworn I’d gotten around to writing about, but extensive searching through archives say no… so here we go. Pilot has a line of pens called Acroball. They have a few lines – this is the Pure White (which technically isn’t). […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The E+M Germany Shaper Ashwood Ballpoint Pen
This is a new pen for me. Picked it up on JetPens because it was cool looking. I give you the E+M Germany Shaper ballpoint pen with blue ink. This is a unique capless stick pen that’s utilitarian while being unique and sustainable – and responsible. The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) sets standards for harvesting […]
