Mr. PenRetractable Gel Pens, 12 Pack, Morandi and Vintage Barrels, Black Ink, Fast Dry, Fine Point 0.5mm, Cute and Aesthetic for Journaling

Love these pens! Overall the pen is aesthetically pleasing and works well, at an affordable price!Everything about them is just awesome, so I have purchased them multiple times. They come in numerous different colors (all black ink though unless it says otherwise just fyi) to choose from. They are well-packaged for shipment/storage/purchase as well. The pen feels really soft and smooth when held and is light weight so it doesn't even leave a dent in my paperwork when sitting too long or feel too clunky when held. The 0.5mm fine ballpoint size allows me to write very smoothly and with small lettering if I choose. I have actually had other coworkers ask me if they can borrow my pen specifically because it can write in small spaces on diagrams that a regular pen just couldn't due to the ball point size. The clip has a quiet rolling ball that might be soothing to someone who fidgets, pen-clicks, or is simply bored at a meeting. The clip is sturdy and the pen is surprisingly well-built, strong, and easy to clean, which is a must for a mechanic like myself because sometimes I'm signing paperwork in the office and other times I need to write something quick on my hand before I forget. I love their versatility because sometimes it's only one or the other with pens: ones that write well on paper don't write well on skin and others that write well on skin smear too much on paper.There's really not anything to complain about, except that maybe if you were expecting colored ink to match the pen color, they only have black ink, unless it says otherwise in the description. I also wish they would sell refills (maybe they do and I just haven't found it yet, because the pen can be taken apart). Just FYI, all these pens are all ballpoint as far as I've seen, so if you're looking for felt-tip at a 0.5mm/0.7mm size, I recommend Sakura Pigma Micron pens instead.EDIT: To anyone wondering why I would EVER write on my hand instead of a notepad, there is a valid reason! Where I work as a mechanic, all tools and non-tool items are heavily controlled to prevent things being broken off and/or left behind in something. Pens are the ONLY exception as long as they pass inspection. By that I mean that they have to pass certain criteria to be taken into the workshop area (not the office spaces and such, but where the vehicles are actually worked on). Not even phones are allowed past that point and are left with someone in the office who will send someone else out to notify me if I receive a call or text. This inspection includes things such as making sure the only thing I have on me is a pen, and that the the pen type has limited parts (less parts building the assembly of the pen = less things to possibly break off) and nothing unnecessary like charms dangling from it. Everywhere I go I must also check that I still have my pen and that nothing is missing from it either; when I leave for a job, when I arrive at the vehicle, when I finish the work (before closing-up all panels with hardware etc), and when the job is complete (vehicle is ready for customer) before leaving that job for either the office spaces or another job. This may seem really weird or tedious but it is to help keep people safe (both mechanics and customers alike) and to prevent any damage to the vehicles, parts, or our equipment. These same inspections happen with our tools and equipment for the same reason. This Quality Assurance process has been found to be very effective at preventing accidents.Edit TLDR: I write on my hand because otherwise I would have to write on my sleeve due to the restrictions of my job

These pens run very smoothly and are aesthetically pleasing as well! Wrote very well!! Good for journalism and don’t bleed through pages!!! Overall recommend! I’ve had mine for over a year and they still work good!

These pens glide when you write and they have a fun little ball on the clip that you can roll while you are in deep thought!

DOES NOT SMEAR! I borrowed my friends pen and fell in love with how thin the tip is that I went and ordered myself a pack of them. I have professors require a pen for essay portion of exams and these pens made my life so much easier!

Mr Pen products are my favorite I use these in my bible and notebook. I love them.

These are my new favorite pen, and they are the pens that you hide so no one takes them. The out covers comes in 6 different colors. The perfect weight, and feel, with the thinnest ink, and they have yet to smudge when writing on normal paper.

UPDATE: Simply from seeing my review, the seller reached out to offer a refund. I'm happy to give this pen another try using the refund in the hopes the next pen order has more of a typical longevity. I appreciate the gesture of caring customer service. That bumps it up a star for me.I really like everything about these pens, EXCEPT for the fact that the ink does not last that long. I’ve never gone through pens as quickly as I have gone through these. Otherwise, a great pen.

A coworker at a job told me about these pens. I don't usually buy fine tip pens, as I usually prefer ball point pens, but I really like these pens. They write really well and the ink flow is great. A smooth writing experience. And the pens feel really great. I Love fun pens and these are fun pens. I use them for letter writing. So thank you for another great pen. Will most likely purchase again in the future and I have already suggested them to a friend.
