 My best pen purchase...., March 13, 2013My best pen purchase.
It is my current go-to pen whenever I want to take notes or have to do
assignments for professors. It has replaced many of the pens/pencils that I use
everyday, but I still use my other pens and pencils for their own purposes.
Honestly though, this pen is great for everyday use. Erases cleanly and it
cleans up more than the cheaper version for some strange reason. Love the color,
and the sizing is thin, but my hand is small so this is perfect. The only
inconvenience is that I have to keep pulling off the cap to erase, but I got
into the habit of it already so it's not something that bothers me anymore.

Hello, and a wonderfull..., December 5, 2008
This review is from Pilot FriXion Biz Erasable Gel Ink Pen - 0.5 mm - Silver Body
Hello, and a wonderfull (whatever daytime you might be reading this....)
After the first month with this pen and two emptied cartridges, I can say....
Although I own all the "simpler" ones in all the colours, this one shines a
dozen times better.
The inks and tips are the same, as well as the "erasing", effect.
But....
The very thin, especially in comparison to the normal Frixion pens, body of this
pen is balanced really good, and fits smootly inside the fingers holding it.
THE FRONT PART / GRIP SECTION:-------------
The front part, which I could not clearly guess from the photos here, is
translucent / transparent, so, if you change the cartridge for a different
colour, you can always clearly say which colour you have inside the pen before
writing. Sure, you can tell not, whiole the cap is on, but does it really
matter?
It is made out of a plastic with a "rubber feel", so even if it looks very
"slicky and smooth", it does not slip of the fingers easily, even without a
visible profile it lies safely into your hands for writing and drawing
purposes.
Great feeling, really.
THE BARREL:------------------
A good, solid feeling delivered by the Aluminium body, which balances the pen
and is hardly wider than your all day pencil. slim, elegant and a good solid
feeling with a cool surface, what more can you ask for.
THE TIP / INK:-----------------
Although I prefer the Ink delivered by Pentels BK70s series, this is the second
best gel-ink I have found to date and the only erasable, too.
Give it a try, it is awesome.
But do not try to erase directly after writing, if you made a mistake, let the
ink dry for a second before "erasing" it. It is not really erased, after all, it
just dissapears at 65 Degrees Celsius. (and returns at 10 Degrees below Zero).
THE ERASER:--------------------------
The black eraser from these Frixion BIZ even is better than the one from the
normal ones, never had a smear with it, not on normal copy paper not in my
notebooks, not on my arits papers for technical drawings or aquarell papers.
Worth the money? OH YES!
The very close to perfect gel-based ink pen!
I used the Frixions before, but now I am not leaving home without the Biz from
JetPens on my side.
Althoug I like another pens ink a lil' more, this is the one I use now the
most.
Thanks a lot, JetPens! ^_^
