Zebra V-301 Fountain Pen Review
In which I review a budget fountain pen companion to Zebra’s 301 line.
Pilot Futayaku Double-Sided Brush Pen Review
To be honest, I had no idea that double-sided disposable brush pens existed. See inside for my full review.
Tombow Olno Swift 0.5mm Bendable Mechanical Pencil Review
I was surprised by the quality, weight, and feel of this pencil—and that’s not even mentioning the fact that you can actually bend the pencil body to make the lead advance.
A $30 Pencil: e+m Workbox 5.5 mm Clutch Lead Holder + Sharpener Review
Why would anybody want that? It uses 5.5mm lead, which is gigantic. And the pencil body is short and stubby. Also, it costs $30 USD. Again, why would anybody want that?
New Classic Pencil: Pentel 120 A3 DX mechanical pencil in 0.7mm (blue)
I like 0.7 and 0.9mm mechanical pencils because they encourage you to think a little bit bigger. And I really like using this pencil, so I’m going to write about it, darn it.
