When I saw that Sharpie had come out with a pen I was thrilled. I am a big fan of sharpie markers. Generally I don’t like to write with felt tip or marker type pens, I usually prefer something that is a bit sturdier looking on the writing nib surface.
But… this pen was surprisingly lovely to write with. The ink colour was smooth and sharp (who knew, coming from a SHARPIE) and didn’t feather on the Moleskine paper that I tested it on. I was happy to note that there was no bleed through by the pen, thus enabling me to write on both sides of the sheet!
I bought a package with 2 blue, 1 green and 1 red pen. All were smooth writing, had beautiful ink colours, and were easy to hold. The slim barrel would make it a practical pen to add to my purse rotation and lovely sharp lines makes this a pen that I would definatly recommend and use regularly…
