Brush Pen Review: Pentel Ultra Fine Artist Brush Sign Pen
Review by Tina Koyama I’ve seen a few brush pens in my day, and most with bristles have the same average-size tip. Pentel’s Ultra Fine Artist Brush Sign Pen ($3.65) is a rare exception. (I chose black to test, but it comes in 12 colors.) On the outside, it has a basic plastic body typical…
