[Pen/Pencil Review] J. Herbin Refillable Hybrid Roller Ball – Medium Point
Today’s pen is something a little different. It’s a J. Herbin refillable roller ball pen – medium point. This is a pen I picked up from my last JetPens.Com order along with the current ink – also from J. Herbin. You’d think there’d not be anything special about a refillable roller ball – well, this […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pilot V-Pen Medium Nib Disposable Fountain Pens
Today’s pen review is the Pilot V-Pen disposable fountain pen in a Medium Point nib, which is similar to the Varsity, but different. I’m pretty sure I got these from JetPens, since the Varsities are ones more likely to be found in US stores. The Pilot V-Pen fountain pen is a great little “starter” fountain […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Dallas Pen Show 2013 Review
Welcome to Monday. It’s a pen blog day. This past weekend was the Dallas Pen Show. I actually had more than an hour and a half this time, and yet… I think that’s all I spent there. This year the Pen Show and FenCon weren’t on the same weekend, so Jimmy could go with me […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Pilot Metropolitan Fountain Pen Medium Nib
I was supposed to get this done earlier in the evening, but FenCon duties distracted me. So I’m going to do a follow up to last week’s post – I discovered on Jetpens.com that the Pilot Metropolitan Roller Ball had a sibling pen – a fountain pen. I had to have one. Fortunately, my husband […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Monteverde Invincia Deluxe Carbon Fiber Fountain Pen – Fine Nib
Hello, Monday. Today’s pen blog features the Monteverde Invincia Deluxe Fountain Pen. This is a handsome devil that MY handsome devil of a husband brought me back from The Pen Place in Kansas City when he went for Spectrum Fantasy Art Live! This pen is visually stunning and heavy. I’ve used a fountain pen as […]

[Pen/Pencil Review Post] A Rerun of the The Pelikan School Fountain Pen – Right Handed, Fine Point
Please forgive a rerun this week. It’s been a long weekend – ending with a trip the Vet ER for our dog who’s apparently allergic to bee stings. Who knew… I’ve had little sleep and am completely incoherent… So… a repeat. This week’s review is the Pelikan School Fountain Pen – fine point, right handed. […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Year of the Dragon Sherpa Fountain Pen Insert
This is a quick and dirty pen blog – because it’s been that kind of Monday. It’s a follow up to the Sharpie Sherpa post – I did get the fountain pen insert from Paradise Pen Company. So I could use the Year of the Dragon Sherpa. I’m not as afraid of messing it up […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Pentel Tradio Apple Green Fountain Pen – Fine Point Nib
Today’s pen review is on the Pentel TRF91 Tradio Fountain Pen. This also arrived at Christmas from my JetPens wishlist. Of course, it’s the green body and fine point, which apparently is no longer available on JetPens. This isn’t like the Stylo I’ve already reviewed. This is an honest to goodness fountain pen. It’s about […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Platinum Preppy Fountain Pen — Rerun
Because I’m hitting conventions hard this month (SoonerCon is over, ApolloCon Looms), I’m going to rerun a couple of early pen reviews – yes, the ones from way before I came up with a system. Also… a challenge has been thrown by author, Lou Antonelli, to find The BIC BRIO fine point (orange/yellow) barrel GREEN […]
