Review: Sharpie Pen


The Sharpie Pen caught me by surprise strolling down the aisle at Wal-Mart, and being the Pen Addict that I am, I just had to pick up a two-pack of black and a two-pack of blue.  If you are familiar at all with the Pilot V Razor Point pens, then you have a good reference point for this pen.  It is very similar, and I like it a lot.  The black Sharpie Pen lays down a very solid, sharp line, and the blue does the same, although I would prefer a bit deeper shade.  The tip is very firm and soild, and I haven't seen any signs of breaking down just yet.  All in all, this is a great pen.

Review: Uni-Ball Vision Needle Fine


It's rare that I dislike a pen so much right out of the gate, but I do not like the Uni-Ball Vision Needle at all.  I was actually excited to see a new Uni-Ball Vision model on the shelves since the original model is a pretty decent pen, but the Needle version does not live up to its predecessor.  The ink flow is massive, so massive that I could hardly write fast enough to keep it from pooling and seeping through the paper.  I'm a fast writer, and I couldn't keep up.  In addition, the feathering is so bad, my lettering looks ridiculous.  Each letter looks like it had fireworks go off behind it.

Needless to say, I am not happy with this pen at all.  You can find better places to spend  your money.
