(I wrote the same review for the black version of these pens)I write a LOT, and am a list maker: notes, studies, descriptions, thoughts, you name it. Through the years I've had a few favorite pens, but when I stumbled upon these - as well as the same type in black ink - that was it! I fell in love with using these pens, I have one in nearly every room of the house now. The ink is dark, bold (as the name/description states), and extremely comfortable and smooth to write with. I have carpal tunnel, so using a pen that can keep up with me is a tall order. I've ordered these pens numerous times, and will continue to do so. I have also purchased these pens in red and green.However, I had to subtract one star for the following reasons:After writing a few lines, or a page worth of things, the tip of the pen gets 'gloopy.' I've taken to keeping a tissue or napkin close by to wipe off the tip as needed. While storing the red/green pens in a desk stand, I found that the ink actually seeped out of the tips, then hardened and actually clogged the end of the pen where the tip retracts into. Not what you want!The amount of ink has also markedly decreased over the years. When I first started using these pens, the ink seemed to last forever; no more. I go through them much faster than before, which leads me to....Apparently there are NO REFILLS for these pens, which means I end up throwing out a perfectly good pen with a still perfectly-good casing, which is very disturbing from a recycling POV. But...that's just how things are made, nowadays, right, Bic? Such a waste and terrible for the environment!!!Bic also can't figure out what to call these pens; through the years, they've been known as Velocity, or Atlantis, or (now) Glide/Glisse. I wish Bic could make up their mind about this.While I enjoy using these pens, and will continue to purchase them as long as Bic makes them, they would really do themselves a favor by listening to their customers and fixing these product issues.

Wonderful

The pen writes really smoothly, much more so than any other pen I’ve used.But I got these for the wide line, and while I haven’t measured it, it does not look all that much bolder than the 0.7mm pens I normally use even though it’s more than twice as wide in spec at 1.6mm.The line is bolder, but looks more like maybe 30-40%, not more than twice. Also, the blue ink is a lighter, bluer shade of blue than most pens I have which is ok but I think I prefer the darker blue color.
