[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 […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Premiere Pen P1 in Green
I know it’s April Fool’s Day, but I’m not going to try to trick you into thinking there’s no pen review or some other prank. Frankly, I’m a punster and a jokester of opportunity – April Fool’s Jokes/Pranks take thought and planning that I just don’t take the time to plan out. So…today… a straight […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Pilot Penmanship Fountain Pen – Extra Fine Nib
No, don’t blink. You’re not seeing double – much. The Pilot Penmanship Fountain Pen does indeed look very much like the >Pilot Plumix, but with some definitely differences – and it’s the pen I’ve been picking up the last couple of days, so it’s time. This is a pen I had on my JetPens wish […]
[Pen/Pencil Review Post] The Pilot Plumix – Medium Nib Beginner Fountain Pen
This week, we take another look at fountain pens – specifically the Pilot Plumix. This is actually the second Plumix I’ve owned. It’s categorized by JetPens (and Pilot, I believe) as a “Beginner Fountain Pen”. And I rather agree with that. I’ve bought both of mine at Target. Now…why have I had two of these […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Editing Pen Side-by-Side Comparison
What’s new for the 2012 pen review blog? Well, I’m going to try to put a more objective grading system in place so maybe a more consistent way of awarding the Bronze Pencils evolves. That way there can actually be some kind of plan to this blog. Not sure how that’s all going to work […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Pilot FriXon Caused Me Friction
I’ve seen a lot of chatter on many of the pen blogs and sales sites on the awesomeness of the Pilot FriXon Erasable Gel Pen. A lot of people seem to really like this pen, and why not? It’s a gel pen that comes in a variety of colors – and now highlighters. It’s a […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Smaller is Better – For Editing – the Pilot Hi-Tec-C 0.25mm
This is the last one of the “Smallest Pen” mini-series. Though not small in length, it is the finest point I’ve knowingly used. Today’s pen is the Pilot Hi-Tec-C 0.25mm in brown ink. With the onrush of Steampunk in literature, I’ve had “brown” days…and I don’t have TONS of brown ink pens. At first I […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Pilot G2 Family Comparison – G2 vs. G2 Pro vs. G2 Limited
This is a busy week so this is kind of thrown together. It’s no secret that I’m a fan of Pilot pens and ink. The G2 is my go to ink. I do wish the 0.38 points came in all the colors and not just blue, black, red, and green. So what’s left to say? […]
[Pen and Pencil Review] The Pilot Bottle to Pen Pens
Staples had a “Back to School” sale on the Pilot B2P (Bottle to Pen) pens a few weeks ago. I know I’m behind on my review of it – lots of other people have already talked about this pen, but I finally got to try it out. I’m a huge fan of Pilot products, and […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] A Look at Ink
I’ve drawn a complete blank today where it’s come to this week’s pen-related review. I had a couple of notions that dried up, asked on Facebook. My uncle suggested a blog on refills. I wish I could do one as good as the one in the current issue of PENWORLD. There’s a big rollerball refill […]
