[Pen/Pencil Review] Pentel Orenz 0.2mm Revisit
Welcome to National Pencil Day! In honor of it, I’m revisiting the Pentel Orenz that I reviewed in November 2015. Jimmy actually finally taught me how to use it like this year – because he bought me another one for Christmas and then I bought myself another one to “match” an OHTO Ray flash. What […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Vintage and Exciting
I’ve been a bit lax in the pen blog this holiday season. I know it. It’s been that year. I’ve sorted my pen hoard, and about to start the next phase of that project (as I figure that out). In the process, and beyond, some lovely vintage pieces came across my desk. Some are from […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Zebra Tect 2way Light – Green – 0.5mm REVISIT
One of the best parts of having an excessive stash of writing instruments is that you can dig something out and almost have a brand new experience with it. This month I’ve been revisiting some of my green pens – whether just the barrel or also the ink. I stuck a pencil in this month’s […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Uni Jetstream 4 & 1 Color 0.38mm – Navy Body
Not too long ago I got on a seriously fine point kick on Jetpens, and today’s multi-function pen caught my eye. This is the Uni Jetstream 4 & 1 Color 0.38mm Ballpoint Multi-Pen plus 0.5mm Pencil. I got the navy barrel. I was intrigued by the fineness of the points, so I had to get […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] BIC Star Wars Collection
Anyone who knows me knows I’m a Star Trek girl. I grew up on it. I learned storytelling from it. My first FanGirl crush was on DeForest Kelly as Dr. McCoy. BUT…BUT…I have a lot more Star Wars STUFF. I like Star Wars, I do. It’s mindblowing what it’s been able to accomplish and invent, […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pentel P207 Metallic Mint Green Mechanical Pencil
This week features something from Jimmy’s line of blogging
[Pen/Pencil Review] Shachihata Artline BLOX Mechanical Pencil – 0.5mm
This week’s pen is the other of the Christmas pens from JetPens. It’s the Shachihata Artline BLOX line. This is, I guess, technically (from the name) a pen more designed for artists, but this particular line is geared to those who love LEGOs or MegaBlocks (which means Kids of All Ages). I bought these are […]
[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] Zebra Tect 2Way Light – 0.5mm – Light Green
Today’s review is a day late because I took a four-day weekend for my birthday. It was a nice, quiet, restful weekend that was exactly what I wanted. So besides that, let’s talk mechanical pencils. This one is from Tokyo Pen Shop and Zebra – its’ the Zebra Tect 2Way Light 0.5mm in light green. […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The OHTO Sharp Pencil – Forest Green – 0.5mm
It’s no secret that I have a wide-ranging love all kinds of writing instruments (or this blog wouldn’t exist). And I go through cycles where I want to write with a certain KIND of instrument. Gel pen, fountain pen, pencil… But when it comes to pencils – it’s sometimes more difficult. Mechanical pencils give a […]
