Waterman ballpoint pens from Penshop UK: Comfort-wise, the Waterman Hemisphere is a thin pen. I shan’t drone on about measurements, but by modern standards it would be considered lithe. Not an issue, as it doesn’t feature any weird tapering or ergonomic swedges so you can adjust your grip as needed. Needless to say, it can also be posted. It’s balance point is solid- no real biases in the hand. It just feels sturdy and practical, albeit a smidgen thin. The nib is a chubby steel nib. Its shape is interesting with a very wide flair yet stout length. Performance-wise, it’s legitimately perfect in my opinion. Super wet with “just right” feedback and an ever so slight flourish of character. I own plenty of expensive pens and I wish they came with nibs tuned like that out of the box. That said, it is steel, but then again, I prefer it to the vastly more expensive 18k gold Carene or Exception nibs that I also own. It has a very distinct character unlike the Carene, which is just a nail; a very nice nail, but a nail nonetheless.

First off, the Waterman Perspective has a cylindrical body from top to bottom that makes it feel incredibly modern. The simplicity of the cylinder barrel makes it comfortable to grip in all locations and draws special attention to the detailing work on this rollerball pen. A wide banding is the perfect medium for the elaborate geometric patterning that makes the Perspective a sculptural pen. It’s also one of the heavier Waterman pens, so if you like some heft, this is a great option. Second to last on the list is the infamous Waterman Hemisphere rollerball. This pen pops up on best seller and staff favorite lists alike because it is the best all-around pen from Waterman in my opinion. Slimmer bodied while still having a modicum of heft, the Hemisphere is a timeless pen that will get the job done day or night. It is a simple yet tasteful design, available in standard high gloss black finish as well as stainless steel with gold and silver trim. The price on the Hemisphere won’t break the bank, but won’t make you feel like you just opted for the cheapest thing available.

High-quality pens often come with intricate designs and craftsmanship that make them a joy to own and use. Many pens feature elegant finishes, unique colors, and ergonomic designs that enhance the writing experience. When you give a pen, you are not just offering a tool; you are presenting a work of art. Consider the difference between a mass-produced pen and a handcrafted one. A well-crafted pen embodies quality and care, reflecting the thoughtfulness of the gift. Brands like PenShop offer a range of beautifully designed pens that make for stunning gifts, showcasing your appreciation for the recipient’s individuality and taste.

Have you dropped your ballpoint pen? We recommend that any ballpoint pen refill that has sustained damage to its writing tip be thrown away. This is because leakages of oil-based ballpoint pen ink happen slowly – but any stains they create can be difficult if not impossible to remove and can cause items to be beyond repair. Like ballpoint pens, rollerball pens write with a rolling ball tip and, like fountain pens, most rollerballs have a push on or screw on air-tight cap, to prevent their water-based ink from drying out. The ink in a rollerball pen works when the rolling ball tip makes contact with the paper. This allows air into the refill, which makes the ink flow.

Disposable stick pens are simplistic yet effective writing tools characterized by their straightforward design. The term “stick” alludes to their slim, straight barrel, which is typically made of lightweight material. Being disposable, they are intended for use until the ink runs out, after which they are generally discarded. Felt pens, often known as marker pens, are defined by their dynamic, bold writing and porous tips made of compressed felt fibers. Because these fibers absorb and distribute ink well, your brush strokes will be evenly saturated and consistent. The ink has a direct effect on the pen’s ability to write. Permanent inks last longer than water-based inks and don’t smudge as quickly, but they can still smear. These pens are excellent for taking notes and drawing because of the felt tip and vivid ink.
