Review: Great little pen - I needed a pen to use when I wear polo shirts with no pockets. If I am wearing a shrit with a pocket, I usually carry a fountain pen, but those pens can get separated from the cap when not in a pocket. This pen did the jog nicely as it is small, lightweight, and handy to use. It write beautifully every single time. That being said, there is not much ink in the cartridge and I am not sure how to change the cartridge once it does run out. Aside from that, it is working beautifully and the bright orange color means I am not likely to leave it behind.
