#OnePenOneDay Bic Z4 Porous Tip 1.0mm

The Bic Z4 Porous Tip pen was one of the first few pens I reviewed on The Pen Addict. It has long been a favorite of mine, and I wish it was more widely available. Heck, I wish all pen brands would have more porous tips available. I love the feel of the plastic tip on the paper, and the sharp dark lines it creates. Yes, it is a much wider tip than I normally use, but is very versatile. If you happen across one be sure to try it out.

Update: I have been asked where to buy these. If you are lucky, you can find them at one of the big office supply stores like Staples. I checked on Amazon this morning, and they have the new body style for $9.95/dozen, which is a great deal.

#OnePenOneDay Rotring Tikky Ballpoint

The Rotring Tikky Ballpoint has one of my favorite pen barrels, but its traditional 1.0mm ballpoint is just average. I switched out the refill a long time ago with a black Parker Gel 0.7mm, and while it is better than the original ballpoint, it still isn't great. It drags across the page much more than you would expect from that size of refill. I'm still on the hunt.

#OnePenOneDay Pentel Slicci 0.25mm Black

Another one of my all-time favorite pens, the Pentel Slicci 0.25mm still lives up to the hype. You don't hear much Slicci talk these days, but this is a pen you should keep handy in your arsenal. Some people are not fans of the thin barrel diameter - which is understandable - but the line is one of the sharpest, cleanest, and most consistent around. It passed the #OnePenOneDay experiment with flying colors.
