Thank You JetPens!!!

If you haven't noticed, I am a huge fan of JetPens.com.  Their selection and service are second to none, and I can't praise them highly enough as an online business.  It seems that JetPens has noticed my little home on the web as well, and has ever so nicely sent me some sample pens to try out.  I had no idea what to expect, but was completely blown away.  Included in my care package were the following:

(1) A.G. Spalding & Bros Roller Ball Pen - Maple Wood - Beige Body

(1) A.G. Spalding & Bros Bullet Style Roller Ball Pen

(1) Zebra Sarasa 3+S 3 Color Gel Ink Multi Pen + Pencil - Blue Body

(1) Uni-ball Boxy Roller Ball Pen - 0.5 mm - Black Ink

How cool is that!!!

The A.G. Spalding pens are absolutely gorgeous, and write wonderfully as well with an 0.5mm black gel cartridge.  The Zebra Sarasa and the Uni-Ball Boxy are great also, with the Sarasa already disappearing a couple of times into my wife's hands.

Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks to the crew at JetPens - keep up the great work!  And, since posts like these often make readers wonder, I have absolutely no business relationship with JetPens other than being a customer and a big fan.  When people do things the right way I feel they should be praised, and that's how I feel about JetPens.

I have a very busy next two weeks, so it might be a while before I get the writing samples up for these new models.  I have two different pens ready to post later this week, so the four listed above may have to wait until the following week.  Hopefully these pictures will tide you over.

Review: Pentel Slicci 0.25mm Blue/Black


(Click on image above for larger view)

I spoke too soon on two fronts with this pen.  One, I did order the blue/black ink, and two, it turns out I actually like this color!  I used this pen at work almost exclusively all of last week, and the ink color didn't bother me at all.  This 0.25mm version writes just as well as the 0.3mm Slicci, but I prefer the slightly wider version in the grand scheme of things, mainly because I can write a bit faster and still maintain a solid line.  Overall, this pen lives up to my already high expectations of the Pentel Slicci line.
