This morning, I went a little OCD on my work pens in preparation for doing some lettering today. I sorted out all the brush pens from the felt tip and rollerballs since they all behave differently on paper. Then I did a little warm-up and test drive of all of them to figure out if…

Review: ALL The Erasable Pens (Pilot Frixion + Uni Fanthom)
Since delving into using a paper planner this year, one of the tools frequently mentioned in conjunction with a paper planner is the Pilot Frixion erasable pen.

Review: TWSBI Diamond 580 in Christmas Green
