Review: Zebra Sarasa Stick 0.3mm Purple

Zebra Sarasa StickI am a big Zebra Pen fan, but the Sarasa Stick just doesn't cut it for me.  I've given this pen a few different chances to change my opinion, but in the end, it just isn't consistent enough for me to use regularly.

When writing with this pen, it has a tendency to hit a dry patch in the middle of laying down a line.  It lasts for a few words, and then picks back up again.  Unfortunately, this is not the first time this has happened with this model of pen.  It looks good and feels good, but just isn't up to par with many other Zebra pens.  Even this shade of purple is a little light for my tastes.

Oh well, nothing a little Polly Jean Harvey can't fix.
