[Pen/Pencil Review] Pilot MR Retro Pop Collection – 1.0 mm Ballpoint
We return to Pilot this week with a pen that I found at Target and fell in love with. This is the Pilot MR Retro Pop Collection ballpoint pen. This is the only piece I’ve found so far in the Retro Pop Collection, so I’m looking forward to seeing what else they bring out. According […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pilot Petball Ball Point – 0.7mm
We return to Pilot this week with another pen from back at Christmas. This is the Petball ballpoint pen with a clear plastic body. These are part of the BeGreen series and the B2P series – which means the barrel is made of recycled plastic from water bottles. According to the literature – these pens […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Sanford Uni-Ball Micro Roller 0.2mm
This week I’m looking at a classic – the Sanford Uni-Ball Micro roller ball stick pen. I’ve had a box of these in my cabinet for YEARS – seriously, years. These pens have been around – according to an Amazon product description – for over 30 years. I think I’ve had this box stuck in […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Just Mobile AluPen Pro Pelikan Ink
I have my good friend, John Husisian, for this week’s review. This is the pen he bought me for my birthday at Paradise Pen Company during the last pilgrimage. He gifted me with the Just Mobile AluPen Pro ballpoint pen and stylus. It was slightly overshadowed by the Vanishing Point, but no less appreciated. The […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Faber-Castell N’Ice Ballpoint Pen
I’m just going to hope this review is somewhat coherent. Just back from Rose City Comic Con, and I’m wiped. This week I show you the pen I picked up from the Dallas Pen Show, basically because it’s the first one I picked up. I bring you the Faber-Castell N’Ice Ballpoint pen. I bought it […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Uni-Ball Air Rollerball Multi-Pack
Last week I had to pick some notebooks up from Staples (they were on serious sale for Back-To-School), and I was sent unattended. Always a danger, because hello, PENS ON SALE! Not only were these on sale, they said “NEW!” Yeah, I had to buy a package of Uni-Ball Air – in the Black, Blue, […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Pilot Hi-Tec-C Maica in Black
I just found a pen I picked up from JetPens.com a while back that I haven’t reviewed yet. It’s another in the Pilot Hi-Tec-C line. This one the Maica line – which is a “fashion” type stick rollerball pen. The fashion part is in the logo medallion and the point size on the smoky cap. […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Kikkerland Wooden Bamboo Ballpoint Pen
Every so often I buy a Kikkerland novelty (or novelty like) piece at World Market, or more often, Half Price Books. Half Price always has cool stuff near the register. This was a two-pack of Bamboo ball point pens – real bamboo. I had to try them. The Kikkerland Bamboo pens actually have wooden barrels […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Yasutomo Y&C Gel Xtreme 0.5mm
This week’s pen is one of my last pens from the last JetPens order. This is a new brand for me – the Yasutomo Y&C Gel Xtreme 0.5mm stick pen in black ink. The Y&C has a water-based gel ink that’s non-toxic and acid free. This black ink is dark and rich – and suitable […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Cross ATX Pure Chrome Rolling Ball
This week’s pen was part of my Birthday Pilgrimage to Paradise Pen Company during ConDFW. I bring you the Cross ATX Pure Chrome rollerball pen. This is a gorgeous pen, and though it was technically a birthday present, I did pick it out, and it was on sale. This is definitely a more expensive, gift […]
