Bic Biro

Advantages: Bic Biro
Disadvantages: Bic Biro

...Bic Biro This product is surely something everyone has come across and it is a total favourite of mine. It has been around for many years and is popular with most school goers and workers alike. Bic has been the leading manufacturer in stationary products for many years and has been operating since 1950. This Bic Biro Cristal BallPoint pen was added to the collection at the Museum of Modern Art of New York. Which is pretty amazing to me. Bic sold its hundredth billion ballpoint pen in 2005, which must have generated some real income for them! Ok so this Bic biro is basically a clear plastic slightly hexagon shaped pen measuring around 12 cm with a gold coloured tip which is attached to the inside ink cartridge that is visible through the outer casing. There is a detachable lid with a air hole in the tip encase...

Review of Bic Biro

About as much use as a BIC Pen

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Not Long Lasting, Lethal, Flimsy

...you don't use any aftershave, there is nothing different in appearence to the non-sensitive Bics so unless the blade is made of a different material I think this is just a plain faced marketing lie. The razors are manufactured from the lowest quality plastic known to man, (just like the pens)and you can even break it if you squeeze or bite it hard enough (again like the pens). A small orange cover is fitted over the blade, which is colour co-ordinated with the handle and there for safety so you don't cut yourself, although you will once you remove it. This can also be quite difficult, just be careful as you are sliding it off that you dont accidently slip your finger across the blade. Upon removing the cover you think to yourself, "how can i use that on my face?" there is just the one blade and no protection wires to prevent you...

Review of BIC Sensitive Skin Razor

The Old Bic

Advantages: Cheap, reliable and easy to use
Disadvantages: None

...The Bic Biro is possibly the most recognisable pen in the writing world. Simple, unique and classic. In 1945, Marcel Bich and Edouard Buffard bought a factory outside Paris and set up a business making parts for fountain pens and mechanical lead pencils. As the development of the ballpoint pen advances in the United States and Europe, Bich saw the potential for this new, innovative writing implement. Bich obtained the patent to a ball point pen created by a Hungarian inventor named Ladislao Biro. In 1950, Marcel Bich introduced his own ball pen, the reliable, affordable, Bic Cristal ballpoint pen. The Bic Biro is not a complicated pen, it is essentially a plastic hexagonal tube with a cap at the end containing another plastic tube with a writing nib at the top. This tube is filled with ink. The pen, when new anyway, has a plain...

Review of Bic Biro

I see the writting with my cristal ball

Advantages: writes well enough
Disadvantages: none

...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...

Review of Bic Biro

An everyday stick pen

Advantages: seems to write well
Disadvantages: none

...I had to write a note today and I used a Steadtler 430m. stick pen. Looking through my stationary drawer and discovered several staedtler stick pens. Steadtler 430 m stick pens are available in Blue, red, black and green ink. These pens are as you can see from the picture have a clear plastic shaft/barrel , This is 13cm long, just less than a cm in diameter. The shaft is a hexagon with 6 straight sides this is good as it mean the pen does not easily roll of the table. You can see the ink through the plastic, its not easy to distinguish the colour from a full pen though.. At one end of the pen is a coloured stopper at the other a strong metal ball point nib. There is a plastic lid which has a clip on it so you can clip it onto the edge of your paper or jacket pocket. This lid is coloured to match the ink. This lid is also...

Review of Staedtler 430 Stick Ball Pen

Write with this stick pen

Advantages: Good for writing that homework
Disadvantages: none

...an ink that would dry instantly Since then they were bought up by Gillette who sold them to Newell Rubbermaid in 2000 them as part of their stationary products group. Papermate also make this pan as a click variety when you click a clip and the nib retracts up the barrel. So how do I rate these stick pens? Well much the same as a lot of other stick pens such as those by Bic and Steadtler...

Ode to a Bic Biro

Advantages: Effortlessly practical
Disadvantages: Reinforces my pen chewing habit

...Everything's alright When I write Black, red or blue Line stays true No hint of pretension In this clear plastic shell Used to tell To compel Or to quell With the written word Affordable Portable Expendable Indispensable A ballpoint with ageless grace And a place In everyday use No matter where, when or how It's a neat trick Performed by this biro from Bic Ubiquity achieved From an idea conceived So simply So completely I sit down to write A letter A story Dare I say... An ode I don't reach for the fountain pen Though it exudes class I look past The pencil is high maintenance Never a sharp point The page to anoint But the Bic Biro is there Chewed end Battered lid Ready to send My thoughts into life Thank you Bic For being And for seeing The need for practicality Embracing...

Review of Bic Biro

Miracle pen!

Advantages: Uses light reflective technology rather than just covering, high quality, it works!
Disadvantages: Price, they test on animals :(

...an equivalent (or better!) highlighter from a cruelty-free company. When Touche Eclat first emerged it was revolutionary, but to be honest now there are so many other light reflecting pens on offer that finding a suitable and cheaper replacement shouldn?t be hard....

Review of Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat (Radiant Touch)

worth paying extra for a decent pen

Advantages: smooth writing and even ink flow
Disadvantages: more expensive than your average pen

...Whilst I may scrimp on cosmetics I also like to spend a little bit more on things which are worth paying for. In my profession I am required to take notes and given that I use a pen on a regular basis I feel that I should invest in a decent pen. Parker pens have been around for years and I have found them to be of good quality, reliable and extremely comfortable to write with. I have a fountain pen (which admittedly I do not use much), this jotter pen and the matching pencil and the ball point pen. I find that parker pens are more smoother to write with than cheap pens and the ink flows much better and I have never had the experience of a leaky pen. Parker pens last much longer than your average BIC pen and refills are available from all good stationers and are reasonably priced. Also, I find that I am less likely to lose my...
