Review:

I have been a huge fan of Faber-Castell for a while now.  My kids love art & drawing so I have purchased many of their art products in the past.  They have very affordable art supplies!  My kids love their products, but this time I got to try something for myself.  I was so excited to receive some fancy schmancy pens for myself.  I will be the first to admit that they are a true luxury for me!  My favorite is the LOOM Rollerball pen!  The one I received is a cute, funky pink color and writes soooo smoothly!  Any graduate would be tickled to receive one of these!

One lucky reader will win 2 Faber-Castell pens with a value of more than $100!!

  35. I really love all types of pens, but am particularly fond of fine point roller ball pens.

  41. It really doesn’t matter to much to me. Some are definatly nicer than others, but don’t want a pen to wright to smooth for the check book:)

  71. I like a pen that feels good while I am holding it, the point doesn’t matter if I like how it feels.

  123. Roller ball pens are my favorite. I find that I write neater with them.

  192. It really depends on what I’m writing and what mood I’m in. lol Ball point with a very fine point is one of my all time favorites, and one I keep going back to though.
