FROM A LEFT HANDED PERSON: GREAT, SMOOTH-WRITING PEN WITH NO SMEARS! I LOVE IT!
I am left handed and I write such that I drag my hand across the page from left to right and smear whatever I just wrote, so most pens do not work for me. Plus I am not a blue pen person. Somehow I ended up with one of these and recently found it in a drawer in my desk. I tried it and loved it. Hmmm... two things: it was not black and I still loved it, and the ink did not smear. A few days later, I was at my mom's and she had one of these. I tried hers and loved that one, too, especially since the one I found in my drawer was a little old and perhaps the ink was not flowing so well any more. Hers was newer so it wrote beautifully. Still preferring black ink, I read the reviews for these pens because I was still thinking I'd get black. A few reviewers said the black is just not as smooth as the blue. I broke down and just went for it. Ordered blue 0.7 and OMG! Love this pen. THE PROS: It writes so smoothly. It does not smear at all for me the way I write which drags my hand across the paper. On paper, it looks like a fountain pen was used. The blue ink is a gorgeous color. It is not so fine a point that it tears the paper and it is not so thick as to look blobby. Feels great in the hand. Very comfortable. THE CONS: N O T H I N G! Perfect except I wish the black would be as smooth as the blue. It writes smoothly and looks crisp and clean. I am a fan for life. Read more
