[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. [...]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The TomBow Zoom 505sh 0.5mm Mechanical Pencil
The Tom Bow Zoom 505sh is the matching pencil to my previously reviewed 505bw rollerball. I had a review written about this pencil back when I first received it, but it went…somewhere. And now I’m kind of glad about that, it’s given me a chance to revisit the review. The first thing I did with [...]
[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 [...]
[Pen Pencil Review] The Ohto Promecha 500P by Guest Blogger Jimmy Simpson
This week’s pen/pencil review is done by my husband, Jimmy. Little did I know when I married him that he had a love of mechanical/drafting pencils that nearly rivals my pen addiction. Brad from Jetpens.com was kind enough to enable both of us in his shipment – since Jimmy was the one who introduced me [...]
[Pen Review] Uni-Ball COLORS Pencil Lead – from JetPens.Com
I really am trying to be good about getting pen/pencil reviews more regular. Part of that is thanks to Brad at JetPens.com and the care package he sent me a couple of weeks ago in the middle of my GoDaddy battle from hades. One of the interesting bits Brad sent me was colored pencil lead [...]
