[Pen/Pencil Review] The TomBow Airpress Ballpoint Pen 0.7mm – Green Body
I picked up a TomBow Airpress 0.7mm ballpoint pen from JetPens to give it a try. The selling point on this pen is to give it a run for the money to a Space Pen. It’s also a true (in my mind) medium point ballpoint pen – 0.7mm – which most pen companies have now […]
[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 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] 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 […]
[Pen Review] TWSBI 530 Diamond
For my birthday this year, my husband bought both of us a TWSBI 530 Diamond fountain pens – mine with an Extra Fine nib in green; his with a Fine nib in red. These pens are no longer in stock – apparently they’re sold out with no additional production run intended as TWSBI designs something […]
[Pen Review] The Padrino Demonstrator from Paradise Pen Company
On the way to ConDFW this year, my husband and I stopped by Paradise Pen Company in the Dallas Galleria to buy ink for our TWSBI Diamond 530s – which he bought “us” for my birthday. We chatted with the guys there – and drooled over the Pens Which I Can’t Afford – when the […]
