I instantly fell in love with my pens.  Of course, the fact the one of them came in PINK probably helped!  I loved the weightiness to them.  It felt like something that was going to do the job very well.  And I was correct — they are like no other pen I’ve used — and trust me — I’ve used plenty. 

For me, I like a nice rollerball pen.  I normally use my coupons and deals and pick up the inexpensive Bic pens at CVS or Walgreens.  And of course, I always thought that these were such nice pens.  I must say that those pale in comparison to these.  No smears. No smudges.  Clean, clear ink – as a pen is intended to be!  So if you ask me if I liked these pens I would have to say no.  I LOVE my pens!
