[Pen/Pencil Review] Pilot Dr. Grip Neon Gel 0.7mm
I’ve let most people know that in a couple of weeks I’m having shoulder surgery. I have the opportunity to be left-handed for a few weeks.

[Pen/Pencil Review] Dr. Grip Full Black – Revisit
I am going through all my pens, sorting by type and seeing which ones work, which ones don’t. I came back across the Pilot Dr. Grip Full Black. I looked back over my reviews and saw that I reviewed it in 2014. I am still disappointed that the Center of Gravity refills only come in […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pilot G2 Neon Fine Point
I definitely go in cycles with pens – whether it’s fountain, gel, ball point or even pencil. I even shift through brands – Zebra to Pentel to Pilot and beyond. Right now I’m in a Pilot G2 phase again. I’m also into colors. The brighter the better. There are many times I stick with classic […]

This week’s pen blog returns to a classic and an old favorite in a new skin – the Pilot G2. The Pilot G2 is hands down an icon in the gel pen world. It’s been THE gel pen for many people for…well, ever. And as much as I also love Pentel Energel and Zebra Sarasa […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] UGH…and Ugh
I felt like I was getting back on track – and apparently…I can only focus on one blog at a time? Or at least on one type of blog. One of the things I picked up again is a fun little Pilot G2 purple. Since I’m a bit limited on bandwidth right now – and […]

I bet you realized there hasn’t been a pen blog this week. You would be right. Day Job is eating my brain this week – along with the suddenly blooming ornamental pear trees and a bunch of other things. Hello, Spring. Nice to see you. Anyway, in the group of pens I got for Christmas […]

We return to Pilot this week late, as seems usual for this time of year.. This is the Pilot Opt ballpoint pen with the Stardust body. This is just a darned cool looking pen. This is one of Pilot’s “fashion” ballpoint pen lines. The Stardust is a navy blue barrel with silver glitter for a […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pilot Precise V5 RT Lime Green
I know, I know… I just did a Pilot Precise V5 RT. This is another Pilot Precise V5 RT (retractable) in a lovely lime green that I picked up during the last Kinokuniya trip. The things about lime green pens is the tinting of the colors. At first I thought it was a different type […]
