[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] The Pentel P203 and PS523 in Fall Colors
This week features something from Jimmy’s line of blogging – the Pentel PS523 in Olive Green and the Pentel P203 in russet brown. These mechanical pencils were also a gift from my husband – from his stash. These are older variants in lovely fall colors. If you want all the nitty gritty on the Pentel […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Updatey, Rerunny Pen Blog – Pentel Again
This week is going to be a little bit of an update and a little bit of a rerun, because it’s just that kind of week. So, first, a quick follow up on the blog of two weeks ago – the PenWorld Retro 51 Fountain Pen. They saw the post and the nib is apparently […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pentel EnerGel RTX 0.3mm
This week’s pen review goes back to Pentel and another version of the Ener-Gel. This one is a 0.3mm retractable EnerGel. It was on “Back to School” special, and I’m a sucker for super fine points and sales. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by this pen, I’ve mentioned my tendency for retractables on the work desk. […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pentel Hybrid Technica 0.4mm Black Stick Pen
This week, I’m reviewing the Pentel Hybrid Technica 0.4mm gel ink pen in black. I either picked up this pen at Asel Art Supply because they ran a little bit cheaper because they were “loose” and not in Pentel packaging or at Kinokuniya. They’re also available (along with refills) at JetPens.com and the pen averages […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pentel Kirari Brown Ink – Thanksgiving Rerun
Pulling a review from last year to run today because it’s Thanksgiving Week here – and the Nephew’s birthday (he turns 16 tomorrow – NOOOOOOO). So there’s been some moving pieces today, but I’m determined to get back to ducks in a row (instead of squirrels at a rave). Even though it’s a re-run, it […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pentel EnerGel RTX Sprinkles
This week’s pen review goes back to Pentel and another version of the Ener-Gel. This one is a 0.7mm retractable pastel polka dot EnerGel. It was at the register, and I am a sucke4 for those. This one is just cute and happy. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by this pen, I’ve mentioned my tendency for […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pentel Excalibur – Black and Stainless – Vintage
This week is a slightly unusual pen review. It’s more of a “vintage†review. I’m looking at two versions of the Pentel Excalibur which have been permanently. The numbers are going to be FUN. But there’s an interesting (to me) story of how these came to be. As many of you know, Jimmy has a […]
[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 Superb Mini Ballpoint Pen – Blue
I’ve written about the RSVP fine point stick pens. They still remain among some of my all time favorites. Today, I’m focusing on a slightly different Pentel stick pen – the Superb MINI. This one is blue. This is an moderately inexpensive “everyday†pen. The pen is short – hence the “mini†aspect. It’s 4.6†[…]
