Iconic Mild Gel Pen Iconic Mild Gel Pen - Black A
These are really great pens to write with. Ink is smooth with a nice weight to the lines and it dries quicker to most gel and rollerball pens that I’ve tried in the past. It’s so good, I’ve ordered another four!

Iconic Mild Gel Pen Iconic Mild Gel Pen - Blue Green
I have tried many gel pens in the past so I didn’t have any specific expectations here, but I was pleasantly surprised when I picked the pen up. It has an attractive look with the longitudinal stripes, and the decent width as well as slightly grippy barrel plastic make for a really pleasing feel. The clicker is smooth and firm, and the roller and ink smooth without being too wet for a 0.5mm, I would say the perfect balance! The ink is beautiful pigment gel ink absolutely pops off the page. Oh and I love the inscription ’Un Jour de Reve’. What more can I say??!

Really like these pens, but there is a downside. Relatively cheap though they are, they don't last that long and, it would seem, there are no refills available so that's a lot more plastic to dispose of. For that alone, I cannot buy again.
