Hear the mention of the 3 R’s & I automatically think of school, reading writing & arithmetic. An idiom I’ve always found odd as only one word begins with an R.
Today, Reduce, Reuse & Recycle is a phrase known as the 3 R’s of the environment & makes much more sense to me, which leads on nicely to the review of the Pentel EnerGel X Bl 107.
Having previously reviewed the Pilot Rexgrip BPRG10RM and the Pilot V Board Master recycled white board marker, I am now taking the opportunity of putting a Pilot Rexgrip through its paces, let’s see how they compare.
At the risk of repeating myself (I’ve mentioned before) that these days I usually reach for a rollerball before any other kind of writing implement. So with that in mind, having a Staedtler Elance Facette to review was a bit of a novelty. This ballpoint has an attractive metal effect design its retractable & can be refilled.Given the appearance of this pen I was surprised by how light it was to hold, the stylish metallic barrel has been manufactured in a guilloche design (a repetitive pattern with an engraved effect) gave me the impression that it would be hefty. Instead it felt light & comfortable in my grip.
The Caran d’Ache Frosty – that name just drips elegance, doesn’t it?
Not exactly what you would expect from a plain ballpoint pen. But then again, the Frosty isn’t precisely an ordinary ballpoint pen, and here is my review.
The Rotring Tikky is one of those pens that doesn’t write particularly well, but that I keep around and like to use occasionally just because I like the way it looks and feels in my hand.
