Schneider Gelion Plus Gel Refill, Pack of 10, Blue

I used to like using a fountain pen for making notes but, since the advent of the iPad, have gone digital. Handwriting was just for quick notes on scraps of paper. My wife bought me a new pen for a recent birthday and it can with a Schneider gel cartridge. It was a pleasure to write with - so much so that I soon ran out of ink. To be different, I bought a red refill and, now that is running low, decided to go the whole hog - it's gel ink for me, and RED! I've got a black refill for another pen for signing cheques and other, more formal, documents, but notes are in red. A bonus is that anything I've initialled stands out (such as the expense forms I review for a local charity).April 25 update: I’ve really gotten into using my new pen and onto my third box of refills. Latest batch not 100% as the one I’ve just started using isn’t writing smoothly (hopefully just one in thirty duff).

These are excellent. Very fluid and a nice writer
