BIC Cristal Xtra Smooth Ballpoint Pen, Medium Point (1.0mm), Blue, 10-Count

I've been using Bic pens since I was in elementary school. I'm now 63 & I'm still using them. I went overseas & attended a VERY exclusive private school & I still used them. I was told I had nice writing by my teachers, my reply was always the same, my obsession w/ Bic pens was part of the reason for my "nice writing". The shape of the barrel, that smooth flow of the ink, & even the ability to "erase" my mistakes (I had good binder paper!), all contributed to my neat writing assignments. I wasn't artistic like most of my female friends. They'd decorate & enlighten their essays, but I didn't have THAT talent. But boy! I could embellish my papers bc I always had all the colors of Bic pens! As for smudging, I never had that particular problem. If there were problems it was the ink itself & not the design of the pen. First the pen would explode bc of the ambient heat, or they'd dry out (maybe thickened is a better word) & the ink didn't for at ALL, but a bit of controlled heat from a lighter (some of my friends in Jr. High already smoked!) would fix that issue. All in all, Bic pens were economical, they had good quality ink, very rarely, 1 in 100 I'd say, would develop some skipping or they'd leave globs of ink (overflow of ink) as you wrote, but it WAS so rare I can still remember them doing THAT. However, they were so economical that my Grandma would buy them by the box bc all 3 of her oldest grandkids would be given those pens to use. In fact, my school would include their contracted school supplies in our school packet, & those would inevitably fail us in the 1st week or month of our school year. I'd give those to my cousins (they had the school shield & of course the name of the school) but must of us would be carrying our own supplies, & give away the school's. I was always the one using Bic pens every year, all yr. And one of my friends, HIS father was the Chinese rep for a writing instrument manufacturer, so he usually had the latest models/styles of pens & pencils. He'd show the small circle of aficionados who would appreciate whatever was brand new in the newest offered writing instruments. Bic wasn't in his father's supply chain, he'd have been mobbed if he had access! Anyway, there are more Pros than Cons to using Bic pens. I AM not just computer literate, I was a trained & certified Computer Operator in the mid-80s, & kept up my knowledge bc I REALLY like computers in all their aspects. Now I can revive legacy machines, from desktops to Chromebooks, though i can't really do business w/ my knowledge. The point is that I CHOOSE to write w/ pen & paper some aspects of my life bc a notebook & pen don't crash, & my words don't just disappear if I've forgotten to Save my work when i close my spiral notebook, & finally, I use what's been effective & dependable all these yrs. And yes, I have ordered, & will continue to buy Bic pens in every color they make (blue black, red, & green), especially through Amazon bc they've NOT let me down, & w/ the rose in gas prices, it's actually cheaper to have them delivered w/ my groceries.

These pins in this style have been around for years and they are the only pin that my husband likes so I buy those just for him. They write smoothly and the color is a nice blue and true too Bic, they are a good quality. The price was also a bonus as this was pretty cheap for the amount of pins that you got. I do recommend I don’t know that I’ll have to buy again just because there’s so many in the pack!

I have always lived Bic pens more than another they are not only made with great quality but they aren't costly. They have great grip and smoothness when using them to write. The color is always bright and vibrant

These are great pens, they are simple and last a long time. What I love about these pens are they are comfortable to write with and have always remained a reasonable price. Excellent quality and price. I am very happy with my purchase.

I really like these pens. Although my first box arrived incomplete (only 8 out of 10), Amazon sent a replacement right away and the new set is perfect. They are comfortable to hold and the ink flow is consistent. Happy with the purchase now!

These are my favorite pens. They have bold color very rarely leak. The writing is smooth and they are quality pens!

These pens are great. About as basic as a pen can get, yet the performance is as good or better than any other pen you can find. And at this price, we keep a bunch of them in the drawer, so we never have to go looking for the ones you lost. I remember this simplistic design from grammar school and I'm over 60 years old and about the only thing that has changed is now the cap has a hole at the tip where I remember it used to be closed with a smooth rounded point. Glad to see that BIC hasn't tried to reinvent something that just works so well.

Nice blue color. Comfortable grip and soft glide.

This is a good set of pens to keep at home or in the office. I prefer the Medium tip. Writes smoothly and lasts a long time!

ヨーロッパにいたときによく使っていました。芯は太めですがとにかくなめらかで書きやすいです。こんなに滑らかに書けるボールペンは知りません。

Best pens on the market. Simple. Cheap. Does exactly what you need it to do nothing more. Upside of the price is it’s fine if you lose them cause they are so inexpensive

I used to use these many many years ago and picked up and used one recently. I had forgotten how smooth they wrote and it inspired me to buy a box. Get some. I don't think you will be dissapoinyed.

Product quality is excellent
