[Pen/Pencil Review] Ohto Ray Flash Dry Pen
It’s no secret that I love Parker Pens – and their refills. Especially since they have gel pen refills for their classic styles. So, when Ohto put out their Flash Dry refills designed for their new Ohto Ray Flash Dry line, I had to try it. Not just is the Flash Dry refill a “Parker-style”, […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pilot Kakuno Fountain Pen
This week, we take another look at fountain pens – specifically the Pilot Kakuno. The Kakuno is categorized by JetPens (and Pilot, I believe) as a “Beginner Fountain Pen”. And I rather agree with that. I got mine from JetPens but they’re also available at the Kinokuniya in Carrollton (so maybe they’re available at al […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pilot V5 RT – Fashion Color 3-Pack
I try to give equal time to pens. This is another Pilot Precise V5 RT (retractable) This is the Deco Collection in assorted colors . I don’t remember spending a whole lot for them, so don’t judge the MSRP too harshly. This pen has a solid feeling point for the heavy-handed writers. This is a […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Carpe Diem Comics Promotional Stylus Pen
This past weekend my friends, Lys and Shado Wiley, realized a dream. They opened a comic book shop in McKinney, Texas – Carpe Diem Comics*. While they were building, and now that the shop is open, they did an inexpensive gimme pen for promotional purposes. They are smart people who take note of what others […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pop! Bombshell Wonder Woman Novelty Ballpoint Pen
I don’t always go for the useful pens. Sometimes (when I’m wandering a comic book store) I go for pens that are just fun/silly/etc. Let’s face it, that’s most of the time. This one was an impulse buy at Ground Zero Comics in Tyler. It’s a pen from Pop! And it’s a tiny Bombshell Wonder […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Minion Multipoint Mechanical Pencil
This is another Dollar Tree find that makes me happier than it should – and something I haven’t used since I was kid. The other attractive quality (besides price – $1) is the fact this is a four-pack of multi-point Minion pencils. The package came with four pencils with different Minon themes and colors. These […]
Rainbow Pom Pom Novelty Ballpoint Pen
Last week I put a photo on Facebook that got a lot of hits, but I haven’t done a review on it. It’s a Dollar Tree find that makes me happier than it should – it’s a furry, rainbow pom pom ballpoint pen. It’s totally ridiculous – which is what makes it wonderful. This pen […]
[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†[…]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Office Depot TUL Blue Black Retractable
Day Job is busy. My niece’s birthday is today. My birthday is Saturday – people are asking me what I want/want to, and I have no idea. ConDFW is this weekend. AND we’re redoing our living room – so CHAOS!!!! AND, BAD PEN WRITER, BAD… as I was starting to plan my Birthday Pilgrimage to […]
