BICVLGBP41-Blu Velocity Bold Retractable Ball Pen, Bold Point (1.6mm), Blue, 4-Count

Why did you pick this product vs others?:My favorite pens.

Smoother than any pen I’ve ever had. Kept some, gifted some. Very high quality

Love these pens. My customers constantly tell me how well they write. The thick point gets a little getting used to, but the blue color is gorgeous.

Smooth writing and just as advertised

These are my favorite pens! I don't like any other pen in my drawer. They are comfortable, smooth, and a good price. They just feel good in my hand and write so effortlessly.

(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.

I love writing in blue ink. These pens GLIDE, omg. I can't wait to see if they help alleviate the hand cramp you get after I write a lot.

BIC is the king of ballpoints smooth as silk no skipping
