Pilot Dr. Grip Pure White Dual Layer Grip Shaker Mechanical Pencil - 0.5 mm - Pink Accent Body

Yes it can the uni-gel only has comfort. This has the perfect amount of balance of grip and comfort.
2 in 1 twice the fun

I bought this to give Dr. Grip a second chance. My first Dr. Grip was the 4+1 multi-pen, which has a rock-hard grip. I love the squishiness of this pencil. It is not feather-soft but at the same time it is not too firm. It is very comfortable to write with for long periods of time, even for me because I hold my pencil with four fingers instead of three (if that makes any sense). I have had some pressure-point problems with some other softer pens (such as the selfit, even though I love it for short-period writing tasks). The size of the barrel would probably be bad for really small hands (like child-like levels of small hands), but I like it. The accent color (pink in this case) is very pretty. It is not too overwhelming. I like how it is pretty/cute but maintains its professional appearance because the accents are low-profile. It's a very nice balance of professional and fun, without getting too crazy. There are also colors good for both males and females. If you are thinking about buying this pencil, stop thinking and buy it because you won't regret it once you hold it in your hand! The eraser is also a decent size (smaller than a standard wooden pencil eraser but bigger than those little coffee-stirrer-sized erasers in some pencils!) and refills are fairly priced. I'd recommend ordering the eraser refills at the same time that you order the pencil.

Can this compete with the uni alpha gels? Debatable.

this pencil seems like a very elegant high quality pencil:

Pro's:
- Great grip
- elegant look
- Pocket safe
- Durable

Con's:
- Can get dirty easily
- Clip may get in the way

this pencil looks way more elegent than the full black series but can get dirty easily. Writes smoothly, looks good, what else could you ask for
