\"\"<\/a>I think the ballpoint pen is underrated. Sure, they are mass produced and generally kind of crappy, but I think each of us at some point has experienced a special relationship with a ballpoint pen (I’m looking at you, Bic retractable ballpoint pen with the U-Haul logo).<\/p>\n

Thanks to my people, it is once again possible, and dare I say, unavoidable, to love the ballpoint pen. And thanks to those lovely people at JetPens<\/a>, we can enjoy these ballpoint pens right here in the land of the California Roll.<\/p>\n

Some of you know of my fondness for the Uni-ball Jetstream<\/a> pens. They come in various point sizes (.7mm is my fave, though I have to admit being somewhat obsessed with the .5mm Uni-ball Jetstream Color Ink Series<\/a>). Every time I use a Jetstream, I am overcome with a feeling of serenity and a desire for the ink to never stop flowing. Okay, so I am exaggerating. A bit. <\/p>\n

As much as I love the Uni-ball Jetstream, I do not use it exclusively. Call me a ballpoint ho if you will, but I like different flavors for different moods, and I discovered a couple other ballpoint pens that write as smooth as buttah. Hello, Pentel Vicuna<\/a> (.7mm) and Zebra Surari<\/a> (.7mm). This is the first ballpoint from Zebra that I actually like. I know there are many Zebra fans out there, but I have found them to be a bit skippy and draggy, plus they tend to get that teeny glob of ink buildup on the tip. I hate that! The Surari, though, glides very nicely.<\/p>\n

Anyway, check out JetPens<\/a>. If you can’t find a ballpoint pen to your liking, then, well, there’s something wrong with you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
