5.0 out of 5 stars These are my favorite pens, and I hoard them mercilessly, September 1, 2006

By	Jason (Delaware) - See all my reviews

A co-worker introduced me to Pilot Razor Point pens a couple of years ago, and I instantly fell in love.
I am a scientist, so I spend lots of time writing in notebooks, and I need a pen that is comfortable to use and writes evenly.

I like these pens because the ink dries VERY quickly. I find it hard to smear at all unless I'm trying. Also, the ink goes on very evenly, which is not the case with most pens that I use.

I like the feel of the pen on the paper, and the fine tip allows for thin lines.

These are the only pens that I actively seek out and hide from my co-workers! Great buy for the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only pen you will ever need, June 30, 2006

By	K. Hinton "avid reader" (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

I used to buy these pens in college because they were some of the best for the money and the different colors made it easy to separate my notes. This is one of the few extra fine point liquid pens you can get that when you hold it down to a piece of paper it doesn't bleed through and make a mess like others do. Also, the fact that there are 8 different colors makes it easy to use for separating or color coding because they are colors that you won't always find everywhere else. There's blue, sky blue, black, brown, pink, purple, green and red. Overall, I think they're a best buy for whatever you'd like to do but particularly for taking notes, grading papers, or copy editing. I would definitely recommend buying them when back to school season rolls around.

I have bought many of these Pilot Razor Point Extra Fine Pens and used them ever since they came out about 4 years ago. I really like the size and feel in my hand and how they nest down in my shirt pocket without sticking up very far. However...they don't clip in you pocket very well. Mine were always falling out so I finally started putting a small piece of double stick tape under the clip. This worked good enough.

The ink in the pen is a liquid. You do not want to fly with this pen. The pressure change in the cabins is too much for it. I don't know how many times I would be making notes while sitting on a flight and look down and see ink on my pants or shirt and get to looking and discover that ink was all over my fingers and thus on my clothes. Or start to write and as soon as the tip of my pen touched the paper, ink gushed out because of the pressure inside the pen. At first I was hoping that this was one defective pen. But not so. All the pens are like this. I have banned them from all my travel bags and really don't buy them anymore.

Another point, good and bad, is that they put a lot of ink on the paper. I like this when I am using a porous paper like standard school notebook paper or something similar. However if you are making notes on a very tight weave paper, like vellum or tracing paper or the restaurant charge card receipt, the ink lays on top for a few seconds before it dries. This becomes a smear rather easily if your hand brushes over it.

I was hoping Pilot would improve this pen and I think that is why I have tolerated it for years but it seems they have not.
