[Pen/Pencil Review] Zebra Sarasa Grand – 0.7mm
This week’s pen review is another Zebra Sarasa. This one is the Grand in what Zebra calls navy blue, but I would call a dark teal. This is one of Zebra’s “business†class pens. This one I picked up at Office Max/Depot in Tyler, Texas as part of the birthday acquisitions. The Sarasa Grand has […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pentel EnerGel Clena Retractable – 0.3mm
This week’s pen review goes back to Pentel. It’s the EnerGel Clena Retractable Rollerball in a 0.3mm needle tip from JetPens.com. I was on an uber-fine kick in my last order from them. And, let’s face it, I do a lot of Pentel EnerGels… I doubt I’ll become the collector that Jimmy is with the […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pentel EnerGel Euro Rollergel – 0.35mm
This week’s pen review goes back to Pentel. It’s the EnerGel Euro Roller Gel Pen in 0.35mm black ink. I’ve been gravitating to Pentel a lot – and Jimmy now has a blog for his Pentel P200 mechanical pencil series. We’re turning into a Pentel “family”. I don’t know what the EURO means in the […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Platinum OLEeNU Green Mechanical Pencil – 0.5mm
Today’s blog is another version of mechanical pencil from Platinum. This is the Platinum OLEeNU Lead Breakage Prevention Mechanical Pencil Green Body. At first blush, this is a typical mechanical pencil like the transparent one I reviewed before. It has a clear barrel with a frosted rubber grip and accents. Its diameter is a comfortable […]
[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] Preview of Upcoming Attractions
Yeah, I know… I didn’t get a blog done. Day Job is a bit discombobulated with the tornadoes that went through the area on Saturday. Our home and family is fine – the tornadoes went pretty far east of us. But my job is dealing with quite a bit of the aftermath. Therefore… a preview […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Jinhao/Edelstein Revisit
Oh, hi… Monday, you’re slipping away from me. I should try to get something done… But first, a couple of interesting notes: The Pelikan Edelstein long cartridge DOES fit in the Jinhao fountain pen barrel. HUZZAH. The Jinhao’s – which I’ve reviewed before – have a sturdier clip and a better grip than the Pelikan […]
[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 Pilot Metropolitan Gel Ink Roller Ball
I am getting back to normal routine (though probably just in time for FenCon to throw everything off again). And though I should’ve had this done earlier today, it’s still Monday, and I’m still going to hit my deadline. Today’s review is The Pilot Metropolitan gel ink roller ball. I saw these on JetPens and […]
