Pentel Slicci Gel Ink Pen - 0.25 mm - Brown Ink

I like the pen. I like the brown, black, blue, & blue-black inks. I hate the feel of the cheap plastic bod\y with the concentric rings in the grip area.

Okay, I'm removing a star from my last review. Slicci's overall are wonderful pens, but for some reason I have had trouble with the brown-ink pens.

I have had not trouble with the black or blue black pens. However, all of my brown-ink Slicci pens (3 so far) keep dying on me with at least 3/4ths of the ink left. For a $3 pen this is very disappointing. I tried all sorts of methods to revive the pen, but nothing worked.

lovely color. lovely pen. so smooth and not scratchy at all.
the pen barrel IS on the thin side but not so much that it makes writing with it uncomfortable. although the muti barrel retractable ones are more comfortable.

I don't really see much of a difference between 0.25, 0.3 or 0.4 points.
but i think as a general rule of thumb; the lighter the ink color, the higher the mm. should be.

I am an art student and I was originally a Hi-Tec C user, but decided to buy this Brown Slicci on a whim.

This pen RARELY skips, in fact, I only remember my Blue Black Slicci skipping once. The pen fits comfortably in the hand and is great for sketching. The flow is so smooth that I can use it for quick gesture drawings and receive a clear solid line. I can also vary my line weight very easily while sketching with this pen.

I really adore Slicci's. They make me wish I had fewer Hi Tec C's so I could justify buying more of them! This brown is a lovely colour, and as a joy to write with as the 0.3 Slicci.
