Favorite Pen

This is by far my favorite pen! It looks great in a uniform and writes exceptionally well. Great price too!

A perfect cheap retractable pen

I'm a cheap pen addict. I've been through all the gels, the Space pen, and some fountain pens. I keep coming back to the humble ballpoint because it simply lasts longer and seems more durable in day-to-day use. It's the one type of pen that can write on any type of paper (shiny, porous, etc.) without worry.

I had the chance to try a Bic retractable pen a while back. It was emblazoned with some pharmacy's name but I was impressed with its performance. I use black ink exclusively and, in the cheap pen market, a good black pen is really hard to find. Up until now, it was the Fisher Space pen - but it's far from perfect. The Space pen often quits before fully exhausting the reservoir. I compare that with my Bic Crystal experiences from when I was a child. I would hang onto one of those until the barrel was completely clear - all its ink expelled in use. Anyway, back to the pen at hand here.

I picked up a 12 pack of Bic Soft Feel Retractable pens from a local Walgreens. I haven't seen them being sold in quantities less than that. Even at a dozen, they were only about $7 - a little over fifty cents a pen. The barrel isn't clear so you'll never know when you're out of ink but the soft feel is exquisite. The click top is a simple (read "cheap") piece of black plastic but it's functional and resounds with a satisfying "click" when you use it. Further down the barrel is a slightly wider barrel wrap - also soft feeling. The pen is feather-light and well balanced and the line it lays is as pitch-black as the Space pen (a $25 pen). Making loops with this Bic shows almost zero gapping in the line - actually performing better than the Space pen. All this in a pen I can give away to someone on the bus (because I keep half a dozen in my backpack). I highly recommend this pen and will be picking up a 12 pack of blue ones for my wife (since she prefers blue to black).

Definitely for the left handed

These pens are great for the left handed. Most pens I write with smear but these dont for the most part for me. They are the right size as well for comfort. I actually go out and make a separate trip just to pick these out so thats saying a lot coming from me. But unfortunately Office Depot doesnt sell BIC any more so I will have to buy from Amazon, although I believe Walgreens may sell these.

I've Been Looking Everywhere For These!

Amazon, why didn't I think of looking here...brick and mortar stores have NADA anymore. I got some Papermate Comfortmate Grip pens, as they were the only things I could find that looked decent at the office suppy store. They, of course, skip and do all the other things lowsy pens do...but BIC Soft Feel Medium Blue is another story...pen nirvana! I might go survivalist and start hoarding these suckers...all my other favorite pens are extinct. To be specific, these pens have a good feel (even better with one of those cushy sponge things that wrap around pens), aren't too thick like many other retractable pens are, always deliver just the right amout of ink with no clogging or dry spots or anything...the blue pens are much more expensive than the black pens, but I suppose that's just suppy and demand...whatever, I'm a big fan.
