[Pen/Pencil Review] Another Editing Pen for the Holidays – the Pentel Slicci 0.25mm in Red
I told you there would be a slight Christmas theme this month – the color red. Normally, I’m a green person (color not eco-nazi – though I do like to recycle and take care of the planet), but this year… Christmas 2011 is the Year O’ Red. Don’t know why. So today I give you…The […]
[Pen/Pencil Post] The Zebra Technoline 0.4mm BallPoint Pen
Continuing the smallest pen “mini” series, today’s post is on the Zebra Technoline 0.4mm ballpoint pen. This was from a JetPens.com New Product line and only available through JetPens or other online retailers, the Technoline line is not available on the Zebra Pens website. So this pen is not yet widely available in the US. […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] .50 Caliber Purpleheart Wood Ballpoint Pen by Lehr Arts
A Facebook comment said, “Heavy round for heavy words”. Or so I can hope, maybe. This Lehr Arts ballpoint pen is hand -crafted by Aaron T. Lehr in Austin, TX. I do like buying one off pens on occasion, especially if it supports an independent artist. This pen is made from a .50 caliber bullet […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The TWSBI Diamond 540
A couple of weeks back my household had debacle with the post office. Much of our mail went astray (some still lingers in limbo). One piece of mail slipped past the Event Horizon to make it into our possession… the delivery of our TWSBI Diamond 540s EF nibs. Jimmy ordered the clear for himself and […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] [Writer Blog] The Dallas Pen Show
This week, I’m actually going to combine pen blog with writer blog. Mostly because I participated in TWO conventions this weekend (one only for a limited amount of time), and this second one had bearing on both writing and pens. I participated in FenCon and The Dallas Pen Show – thankfully they were on opposite […]
[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 Review] The Seven Year Pen by Sustainable Seltzer Products
About a year ago I ordered a pen from Sustainable Seltzer Products, The Seven Year Pen in the “Need Coffee” motif. Why would I do this when I’ve said often that ball point pens are my least favorite ink pen? 1) I was curious about a pen that boasts it can last for 7 years, […]
[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 […]
[Pen Wish] Monteverde Invincia Stylus
An open letter to Monteverde Pens… Thanks to PenWorld Magazine, one of your pens is now on the top of my Wish List. I saw it in an ad in the most current issue of PenWorld – and went looking for it online. Only to discover it’s not yet available. Okay, so I was wrong. […]
