I tried a number of fine pens and like this one a lot. As a lefty I need a pen that doesn't smear when my hand travels over it. These do well. I find my writing is more legible with some pens these also make my writing more legible. I've been note taking for work for years but just started using the BuJo system. So I tried a number of pens and found these to be quite good. I like the simple look of them and they have a larger ink volume. The 0.5 line size helps readability. I have found some surfaces cause the pen to smear. The labels used on covid test tubes. My personal preference is that the pens have a spring dampened tip. The old paper mate pens had this as did recent Bic flex models. That and never smearing would make this pen perfect.

Thought since they were “gel” they would glide nicely but they are more like ball point pens. I would not buy them again and do not recommend them.

They don’t flow stop/start lines become like hyphens. Liked colors though

I had used the black .35mm before so i decided to buy these. I only wish they were available in .35 mm as well.
