I started this blog because I have a problem, and the Pilot FriXion epitomizes my addiction. I know I'm not going to like this pen. I've reviewed it before and didn't like it, but I still bought this 0.7mm model even after my previous experience. What I can say is that I don't hate this one as bad as the 0.5mm blue model, but I just can't see myself using this on a day to day basis.

The Sharpie Permanent Marker is a classic, but does not give a classic performance in my Moleskine Reporter notebook. Not that I expected it to, but I wanted to try out the Ultra Fine tip anyway. It bleeds through the page really quickly, causing me to write at light speed. The following page in my notebook became unusable (in my anal-retentive mind) after this pen test. I think I'll stick to marking cd's and dvd's with this one.
