Robb. Knight.

There's no way I can write reviews of all the pens I’ve bought over the past two months so instead here's some one line reviews of them because I told Brad I'd do it. Some general things I've realised:

• I much prefer smaller nibs, gotta be 0.7 or less, ideally 0.5
• I like pink and purple pens but tbh anything that isn't black or white I'm into
• Yellow ink is a bit rubbish

Anyway, here we go.

Standard Pens

Uni-Ball Jetstream, various colors: Very nice

Uni-Ball Jetstream Lite: Also nice

Uni-Ball One: Lovely ink

Zebra Z-Grip 1mm: Too thick for me

Iconic gel ink: Amazing colors, really nice to write with

Zebra Mark On: These are bloody great. The 0.4 is a bit too scratchy for me though.

Spoke Click Model C: Hefty, feels great in the hand. Swapped in a Parker .55 gel refill.

Muji .38 Gel: Very nice, doesn't feel scratchy to write with like the 0.4 mark on.

Uni-Ball EMOTT: Smooth but I've not used these much yet.

Uni-Ball Pin fineline and Sakura Pigma Micron: Not used either of these yet but I got the microns in the black and gold edition because they're pretty.

Energel: It had Pikachu on so I had to buy it. Smooth writing.

Muji retractable highligher: A retractable hightlight? Now I've seen everything. Nice color on this one.

Zebra Mildliners: Fuck yes.

Fountain Pens

Platinum Preppy 03: I like these, just don't bother with the yellow ink, it sucks.

Lamy AL-Star: I'm definitely leaning towards preferring the metal AL-Star over the Safari but I need to use them both a bit more to fully pick a side. I currently have the Fiery and Pacific Blue in rotation.

Lamy Safari: As above, still nice. Currently I have pink, green, and yellow.

Pencils

Uni Kuru Toga 0.3mm: Another one I bought because of Pikachu. 0.3 is too small for a pencil for me.

Tombow mono graph: Nice enough, it's a pencil.

Sun-Star Metacil retractable: I'd not heard of "forever pencils" before, this one is cool.

Pentel P203/P205/P207/P209: These are bloody lovely, 7mm is perfect for general use for me.

Miscellany

Ottergami Dotgrid A5: A5 is the perfect size for a bullet journal for me but the paper in this isn't as nice as I'd like. Will be switching to something else when it's finished.

Paperian Memo Pad: It's cute.

Life Noble notepads: I have an A5 and a B7, the paper is glorious to write on.

Traveler's "Let’s Go on a Road Trip" notebook: This is the one I can't bring myself to use yet. It's just so nice.

Lihit Lab compact pen case: I love it, I reviewed it here

I also have some tape I like:

• Traveler's Factory boarding pass
• World Craft Peek-a-Boo cats
• Generic pink

So...yeah. That's a lot of pens in a short period of time.
