PROS: Thrifty Pen, Writes well, Gets the craving for writing again with a fountain pen either satisfied or this will be a stepping stone to an even better fountain pen. Nice broad stroke CONS: You have to be sensitive as to the paper you are using again. Certain papers will spread the ink out and make your writing look sloppy, and mine is plenty sloppy already. Not officially refillable although there are videos on how people are refilling these pens. Extremely light so not as smooth writing. The feel is just like any other dollar store pen so don't expect luxury, but it delivers on a nice smooth line on quality paper. Yes I'd buy these again and recommend to anyone that is curious about owning a thrifty fountain pen. bdv Read more

Everyday, I write personal notes, journal entries, thoughts, and reminders by hand which an essential part of how I work through the happenings of my life and look back to see my progress or plan for my future. This pen has been my constant companion throughout this process and I cannot find a replacement that feels as good, works as well, or saves me money like this product. Because I live a fast paced life always moving from one thing to the next, I appreciate that this fountain pen is durable, easy to use, comfortable, and ultimately disposible. The smooth flow of ink means you'll never have to redo a faded phrase or scratch the page w a dry tip. The richness of the blue ink gives your words a vibrancy that pops, and the self contained, simple, but tough packaging means no mess or fuss. Read more
I've bought MANY of these pens. The ink is smooth, never stutters, and the color is rich (all colors, but I use blue the most). The price is reasonable and I find that they last a long time. I have two complaints: 1. the cap often cracks (I fix this with a bit of tape), a minor annoyance, and 2. The lower edge of the barrel has a sharp transition/edge. If my hand gets that low on the barrel, it is uncomfortable. I recently tried a couple of other brands and found the varsity to stop be superior in color, reliability, and smoothness.
