I was looking for an upgrade from my HB2 Pencil and I was unsure about what to go for until I came across this Bic pen.

I was realy excited about opening my new product once it had arrived, I removed a pen from its protective packaging which was realy well sealed. For the first few days after ordering my new pen I was slightly unsure about how to actualy use it, it came with no instruction guide, it was untill later on in the week and countless hours of attempting to write I hit Google and realised that the black tip at the end was removable only to reveal the 'nib' of the pen. This black romovable think was infact a lid to keep ink fresh.

Ok so onto performance, after I started to write(also this pen may be used for doodling and scibbling) I was amazed at the quality of the ink, it was no cheap ink like you would find in other cheap pens at your local retailers, this ink is something special, and it does not smudge either.

The biggest major flaw with this pen(which is possibly a design fault) is that I am assuming this pen is for left handers only(although the packiging did not mention this) I think this because I can write superbly neat in my left hand but when I switch over to my right hand I start to write as if i were wearing a blindfold, so to all you 'right handers' stay away from this product.

The design of this pen was realy well thought out, the 'see through' barrel of the pen allows you to keep watch over how much ink you have left to write with in the pen, so when you are running out you can simply order a new pen in time.

A few days ago I stupidly lost the lid to my pen, I got onto Bic customer service to see if my pen was under warranty to see if they could send me a new one or simply replace my lid, the lady on the other end just laughed at me and hung up, this goes to show that the customer sevice for this company is not very good at all!

I take my new pen everywhere with me and could not leave home without it, somebody even saw that I had a brand new bic and asked me if they could borrow it! The cheeky fella must have realised how good this pen was as he tried to walk off with it, but I managed to get it back and he claimed 'he forgot'.



Anyway I am overall pleased with this product.

Only negative points are the lack of instructions on operating this pen and the customer service is atrocious.
