If you are reading this, you probably just read my LAMY Safari review. If not, go check that out first since it covers most everything about this pen. There are not that many differences between the AL-Star and the Safari. The main one, though, is that the AL-Star is made
Happy New Year! I hope you have been enjoying the holidays. As is typical, the new year has brought forth an urge to write, and here I am. I've been snowed in for the past few days so I have had some time to compile a few reviews
Introduction To save myself the trouble, see the first few lines of my last several posts for the "sorry for not writing" stuff. Just getting that out of the way. My third semester of college is well underway, and I have been swamped. Regardless, I thought it would

The Pentel Smash is a very iconic pencil in the collector world. With loads of colors, most being limited editions (the color I have is a limited run, known as the Katakana Silver/Sky Blue model), the Smash's reputation precedes it. It is pretty bleak in terms of
I will just go ahead and get the usual speech out of the way: long time no write, I’ve been busy and kinda forgot I had a blog for a bit, yada yada. Either way, I am here now, and that’s all that matters! I have gotten mostly

Introduction As you can probably tell, I am a big fan of mechanical pencils. Until February, I’d had the same three fountain pens sitting in my desk for several years. I would get them out on occasion, but I never really saw the utility, or more so the majesty,
As some of you may know, Tombow recently discontinued the Mono Graph Zero line. This is unfortunate, as the Mono Zero has been a favorite of mine for a long time. It is a pretty run-of-the-mill drafting pencil, but it falls more towards the general use market, as it lacks
There are several pencils in my collection that, at first glance, don’t look like much. In my experience, though, these are some of the best. The Rotring Rapid Pro is a prime example. It doesn’t have any special quirks or gimmicks. It is a purely functional drafting pencil.
I initially reviewed the Pentel GraphGear line nearly 2 years ago. Since then, I have gotten many more pencils, but there is still one pencil I always come back to: the GraphGear 1000. My GG1000 was one of the first pencils I ever got. It has been on many adventures,
Of all the pencils I have reviewed, the Ohto Super ProMecha takes the cake for being the most interesting. Keep in mind, “interesting” and “nicest to use” are not mutually exclusive. This pencil certainly has its quirks and a few clever tricks up its sleeve, but it is far from
