After my post on Highlighters a few weeks ago, I decided to go ahead and invest in a fountain pen highlighter. I purchased a Kaweco Ice Sport with a BB nib ($23.50) and a bottle of Noodler’s Firefly ink ($12.50). The Kaweco I purchased was a clearance item from Goulet Pens available with the BB…

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen
The Pentel Pocket Brush pen is one of the best, if not The Best, brush pens on the market. First, the understated look of the pen is a pleasure to behold with nothing printed on the pen but one elegant character. The pen has a simple silver clip and a solid black plastic body. The…
