Pilot Frixion Pen Review

 

I do also want to add that after writing this review I figured out how to open the pen: It untwists at the grip. It is still quite tight though and I can see others being confused to if it really comes apart too. I do also want to note that this pen only lasted 20 A4 pages. Not terrible but not desirable to me either.

May 2020 Writing Utensils

Saw this on You Tube and other blogs and thought it was an interesting idea. These are the utensils I've been using throughout May. Most of them are general use for pretty much everything I do each day: creative writing, note taking, working in my planner, writing letters, drawing, lots of stuff. Something you'll notice right away is that I don't really have a large palette of colors. I generally use one color or two colors that I have on hand for journalling, and likewise for planning, but not really more than that (some people will use the whole rainbow or more, and that's fine). With my writing utensils I will generally use them until they break, get lost, or run out of ink. Thus it may be interesting to see how much things change or don't change month to month. :) With pens like the Tradio, I will refill them with a new ink cartridge as I go, but may give the entire pen a break for a month or two.

Bic Round Stic Ballpoint Pen 0.7mm Review

These are perhaps one of the most common and recognizable pens around. Cheap and surprisingly long-lasting these are a mainstay at service desks, outdoor work, and even ballpoint pen art.

@TheOffice 0.7mm Mechanical Pencil Review

It's unfortunate that these are hard to come by any more. They were decent pencils in my high school and college days--something I used almost as much as my Bic 0.7mm mech pencils.

Paper Mate Vibz Mechanical Pencil 0.9mm Review

Sorry if the image of the written review is a bit hard to read; I must have taken a poor photograph. I may have to rewrite this one for this reason.
