Review: Beautiful smooth writing pen! - Pen looks much better in person. Very smooth writer. I would have preferred that it came with a choice of medium or fine as well as blue or black ink.
Review: LOVE. LOVE. LOVE - RETRO has the nicest rollerballs. I love unique pens & I was so happy to find the design! Elegant & looks very rich. I've ordered several rollerballs & technical pencils. I prefer a broad point & pencil ink/lead & order as such. The rollerball has a nice ink flow & does not run dry as other brands may. Impressive work horse Unique, sleek & impressive design!
