Review: Highly recommend - These pens are great. So smooth to write with. Much better than standard box pens. Highly recommend
Review: Such a pleasure to write with. - I love these pens. They are a pleasure to write with because the tip is wider than on most other ballpoint pens and you get a really smooth line. There is a plastic covering on the tip when you get them, and someone I gave one to initially thought it didn't work because she hadn't noticed this! Takes a moment to remove, but it is a good feature because the ball point is wide and allows more ink to come out and this makes it more likely to leak or dry up. For this reason, make sure you keep the pens upright to store once you have removed the little plastic covering on the tip. I imagine that each pen will run out of ink faster than most ballpoints because you are using more ink with the wider line, but they are so worth it in my opinion.
