[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] BIC Intensity Permanent Porous Point 0.5mm
This is one of the last finds on the last Office Depot run. These are the BIC Intensity permanent pens – fiber tipped in a 0.5mm fine point. These came in a five-pen multi-pack – two black, blue, green, and red. The BIC Intensity permanent pens are kind of cool. They’re long – 5.5″ capped […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Bic For Her Fashion Rollerball 2 Pack
Earlier this month we had to hit up Office Max for promotional material bases for the shows I’m doing this month – and of course, hit the clearance aisle. Some of the “Bic for Her” pens were there, and after several people sent me the links to the Oh, so snarky commentary on the pens, […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Bic for Her Fashion Marker 3-Pack
Earlier this month we had to hit up Office Max for promotional material bases for the shows I’m doing this month – and of course, hit the clearance aisle. Some of the “Bic for Her” pens were there, and after several people sent me the links to the Oh, so snarky commentary on the pens, […]
The Bic Atlantis Retractable With Green Ink
I still have a couple of pens from Christmas – I know that’s a shocker. This is one of them. It’s the BIC Atlantis retractable in green ink. That I should love but find rather…meh. This is not a favorite pen. Sorry, Bic… but when they get into the bigger points – like the 1.0mm, […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The BIC Fine Point 0.7mm Ball Point – Green Ink
Lou Antonelli is both a good person and a bad, bad enabler. He started me on the path of the Bic Biro Fine point ballpoint pens, and he’s actually completed the set for me. He got a shipment of the green fine points from Ireland (and no, the symbolism isn’t lost on me). And no, […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Bic Cristal Classic Bold 1.6mm Ballpoint Pen
I know I’ve complained loudly about pen manufactures (BIC and Papermate, I’m looking at you) defaulting to larger and larger ballpoint sizes. I’ve been quite vocal about my love of fine points. But to be fair, I hadn’t actually used one of the “new” 1.6mm “Bold” points. I needed to give them a try. So […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The BIC Biro Fine Point Easy Glide in Blue Ink
Seriously, I wish the BIC Biro Easy Glide fine point (or any BIC fine point) ball point pens were available in the US. They would be one of my every day, always have one on me, pens. I’m constantly frustrated that BIC and Papermate and other manufacturers have arbitrarily decided the default pen point is […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The BIC Triumph 530RT
This week’s pen is the BIC Triumph 730 RT. I picked this up at Office Depot in the clearance bins. The package came in a 3 pack, either all black or black/red/blue. I chose the multi-color pack. BIC apparently believes in this pen, it’s been given its own webpage. The BIC Triumph 730 RT packaging […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The BIC Disposable Fountain Pen
This week’s pen review comes on the heels of having a random fountain pen discussion with an artist at local art festival. He was also a “pen guy” and dug fountain pens. He’s never heard of the BIC disposable fountain pen – and since I have (had) about five – I gave him the one […]
