[Pen/Pencil Review] Morning Glory Mach 3 Brown Ink 0.38mm
I don’t know why some Mondays are a bigger struggle than others, but they are. This one is one of them. I left the pen I’m reviewing at home, so I don’t have it physically in front of me, but I’m going to do my best. This is one of my last batch from JetPens […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Leuchtturm 1917 Dots Notebook
Normally Monday is reserved for pens and pencils – but occasionally I stray into other forms of office supplies. The week of Thanksgiving I not only had the lovely surprise of the set from Pentel, but discovered I’d won a Leuchtturm 1917 from Steve Duncan at www.RecordingThoughts.com. So this week, a German made notebook I […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Pentel Libretto Pen & Pencil Set
So yeah, about the time I posted last week’s review of the Pentel Kerry, I received an email from them offering to send me their Libretto Pen/Pencil set to review. They also gave me a set to give away. If you like what you see here with the review,go over to the contest and enter […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Holiday Rerun – Mad Moravian Cigar Style Ballpoint Pen
Please forgive the rerun, not only is it the Labor Day holiday here in the US, I’ve been sick this lovely 3-day weekend. So I’m going to repost this review… Don’t go looking for this pen at your local Office Supply Chain Store or even your favorite online source. You won’t find it. In fact, […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Dane-Elec ShareBytes 4GB USB Drives
This week’s review isn’t a pen, pencil, or notebook. This week, I’m talking about novelty flash/USB drives. Why? Well, one, I already have pictures taken of them so that’s one less bit of effort. And two, they’re too darned cool. While at a 20% off anything you can get in the bag sale at Staples, […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Iwako Elephant Novelty Eraser from JetPens.com
I love when JetPens.com has a sample giveaway for reviewers. I sign up every single time (and not just because I like being sent stuff for free–though BONUS!) because I always seem to get something I would never, ever buy on my own and either find what I get amusing (the pink gel pen) or […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Palomino Blackwing Wooden Pencil
I was not alone in receiving a pretty black box for Christmas – though mine did not contain jewelry, but a dozen Palomino Blackwing pencils. I’ve held off reviewing them because 1) there was a glut of reviews on them right after Christmas; and 2) I have a habit of randomly plucking thing out of […]
[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 Monteverde One Touch Ballpoint Pen
Back in September of 2011, I hit up the Dallas Pen Show for a whopping two hours. I would’ve spent a lot more time there if it weren’t for the fact that it was (and will be) the same weekend as FenCon -which takes over my life (in a good way). However, in my limited […]
[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 […]
