Morning Glory Mach 3 Roller Ball Review
The Morning Glory Mach 3 0.38 mm Roller can safely be added to the "best pens you have never heard of" list. I knew this last year when they first came out and I reviewed the lime green model. It left a crisp, clean line and for an 0.38 mm liquid ink pen and that is no small feat.
I forgot about it though, until I saw someone mention the blue black model and realized it had fallen off my radar. That was corrected when I snagged three of them in a recent JetPens order. Why three? When a pen writes this well and is inexpensive, why not have one handy everywhere?
The "everywhere pen" puts it in good company with some of my other favorites like the Uni-ball Signo DX and Jetstream, Zebra Sarasa Clip, and Ohto Graphic Liner, to name a few. All are pens that work flawlessly and provide enjoyment when in use, and therefore I want to have them handy at home, at work, and on the go. While fountain pens are my first choice these days, finding a $2 pen that makes me smile is always great.
While my writing sample below came out a little dark, this is what I would consider a true blue black ink color. It's right in the middle of the spectrum with no hint of green, which is where I like it. And as I mentioned above, the lines are exceptionally clean for a liquid ink pen. Granted, I used Rhodia for this review, and many other nice papers are in the rotation, but this pen would be nice in a Moleskine, for example.
For $2.00 it is worth checking out. And if you like it, Morning Glory has a rainbow of colors to choose from at JetPens. Add it to an order or your wish list and thank me later.

New Baron Fig Limited Editions Now Available
Three-Legged Juggler (via BaronFig.com)
I very rarely make a product post without an accompanying review, but sometimes an exception needs to be made. This is one of those times.
Baron Fig has has come out with two limited edition notebooks: The Three-Legged Juggler, a limited edition Confidant, and Lightbulb, a limited edition Apprentice. I'm a big believer in what Baron Fig is doing in our realm and wanted to make sure the word gets out because these are great holiday gifts for the stationery junkies out there. I'm sure they won't last long.
Baron Fig sent me one of each at no charge to check out and I am impressed. I think I'm going to have to get The Juggler into the rotation very, very soon.
