I was inspired after tidying up my stationary draw to write a review on Bic crystal classic ball point pen.
I have a red and a blue Bic ball point pen at 141/2 cm they are slightly longer than the Staedtler pen I wrote about recently. This Bic pen like the Staedtler one has a clear plastic barrel . You can see the ink and how much is left through the barrel. This pen is hexaganol shaped so it does not roll off your desk. This hexagonal shaped barrel is easy to hold and control for your writing. This Bic pen has a medium nib which is made of brass with a tungsten carbide ball.
These Bic pens are available in blue, red, black, red, and green. At the end of the pen is a stopper which is the same colour as the ink and there is a ventilated cap of matching colour too.
These pens are good to use I do not have a problem with smudging or ink blobs with these.
These pens are ideal for school, home or office use. They are available in many stationers on or off line at http://www.caboodle.co.uk/ you can buy a box of 50 for £8.41 (sale price) £19.50 previous price. At http://www.ryman.co.uk a single pen is 35p. So as you can see they are not an expensive item.
A short history lesson. ~~~~~~~~~ The first ball point pen was a ball point marker, a leaky pen invented by John Loud in 1888.
Biro invented a ball pen it was patented in 1938 . A man called Micheal Bich had a buisiness making partys for fountain pens ,in 1950 he created his own ball point pen. He shortened the name to Bic and the Bic cristal ball point pen is now a popular pen which lasts for ages.
Would I recomend ? Yes well I am not sure which brand of ball point pen is the best but these seem to be a good pen.
I wonder how many of you now will look at your ball point to see what brand it is ? Bic has the name along the barrel .

Advantages: Works great, the hand doesn't get tired, it is not expensive Disadvantages: The desing is not interesting. Can't be used to print advertisement.
