I wanted a pen with a relatively fine point, smooth-flowing black ink, and super fast drying.
(As a leftie who weirdly drags their hand across the freshly written sentences, the fast-drying bit is really important to me.)
This is the perfect pen—for me. I buy these in boxes of 12. They come with a blue barrel, but contain black ink.
Here are all the specs: Pentel EnerGel NV Gel Ink Pen, (0.5mm), Fine Point Capped, Needle Tip, Black Ink.
I usually have four or five on my person, just in case.
