Finally, a ball-point pen to write ...

I have long been looking for a pen to write reliable. Unless you want to write on a pencil or felt-tip pen / can, which is so far the only reliable alternative. I recommend the black writing against a blue Mine exchange.

Seemingly expensive but as other brands such as "quality" Lamy pens have me already often very disappointed, the price is more than justified. The mere spared frustration about not writing pens is fully worth the money.

Processing, in my opinion very good. Shorter than a tradition coolies, for a little thicker and grip that makes writing more comfortable longer.
