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.

Caran d’Ache Frosty Ballpoint Pen Review
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.
Review: Pilot G-Tec-C 0.25mm
For the longest time, the Pilot G-Tec-C Hyper Fine 0.25mm gel pen was nearly impossible to find in the UK, so when the Pen Warrior was pretty happy when he was finally able to get them in this spring.
Review: Zebra F-301 Ultra Stainless Steel Ballpoint Pen
For me, the appeal of the Zebra F-301 Ultra ballpoint pen is all in the design.
The sleek stainless steel barrel, the encased no-nonsense clip, the grooved rubber grip. Some pens just look like they take writing very seriously, and the F-301 ballpoint is one of them. You pull one out of your pocket, and you’re telling the world, ‘I have important stuff to write down.’
Pilot G2 0.38mm Gel Pen Review
When it comes to gel pens, the Pilot G2 always ranks near the top in ‘best of’ lists, and for good reason. Sure it’s a little overrated, but the bottom line is that Pilot has made a great smooth-writing pen with sexy shape and vibrant ink. And the Pilot G2 07 is probably one of the most reviewed gel pens on the planet.
