Schneider Pen Product Review

I have recently received multiple Schneider pens from Shoplet to review.  Schneider is a German company that has been in business for over 70 years The first ones I will talk about are the set of four Slider Memo XB, it is a multi-pack that comes in pink, green, orange, and purple.  Really my favorite pens come in colorful ink and these are no exception.  I had to hide these from my kids so they didn't steal them.  They write very smoothly and are really comfortable to hold, plus the blue section of the barrel is slightly rubberize so it is easier to grip.

The other five pens I received are shown below.  The pens, from left to right are: Slider Edge 1.0mm BallPoint Pen, Slider BallPoint Pen, Slider XB ViscoGlide Ballpoint Pen,  Slider Memo XB, Xpress Porous Point Pen. This set is a sample pack, not actually sold at Shoplet.  All of them, except the Slider Ball Point Pen (sold individually), are sold in packs of 10.

The Xpress Porous Point Pen has water proof ink with a fine tip for use with rulers and it lasts up to THREE days without drying out with the cap off!!  The Slider Edge 1.0mm also uses waterproof ink and doesn't smear when you highlight over it.  The Slider XB VscoGlide also has waterproof ink and can easily be highlighted over without issues of smearing.  The Slider Ballpoint Pen also has waterproof ink and is retractable.  Lastly, the Slider Memo has red ink and dries quickly allowing for easy highlighting without smearing. 

Please click through and read all of the specific product descriptions for each pen, some of them have three-sided barrels and some are more narrow.  I can comfortably write with each one.  In my opinion the pens glide smoothly over my paper while I'm writing, I don't have any issues with them leaking or anything.  I was very impressed with the quality of these writing instruments.



I received these items at no charge in exchange for my honest review.

Pentel Pencil and Pens Product Review for Shoplet

Pens and pencils are a hot commodity in my house. With three school aged kids they go fast!  I received an eight pack of Pentel Vicuna retractable ball point pens, a Pentel Twist Erase III mechanical pencil, and Pentel EnerGel Alloy RT Roller Ball retractable ball point pen; to test out and review on my blog.

I fell in love with the EnerGel pen!  It is so smooth and writes cleanly, plus it feels good when holding it.  It is a bit heavier than most pens and feels good to hold and you can refill the ink! I immediately began using it as my work pen.  I let someone use it to sign a form and she commented on how nice it wrote. That is pretty unusual as far as I know.  I let my oldest draw some pictures with each of the Pentel writing utensils we are testing so you can see the quality.

The Pentel Twist-Erase III Mechanical pencil is nice also. The thing that mades this unique is the eraser gets longer when you twist the end of the pencil (thus the name.)  It even came with an extra eraser!  This pencil also has a latex-free grip, which is nice because both my husband and youngest daughter are allergic to latex.

The last, and most fun, of the writing instruments are the Vicuna pens.  The pack comes with eight different colors.  I have always loved using colorful ink for writing, in junior high and high school I used colorful ink AND colorful paper!  I'm sure my teachers loved it!  I use these pens for signing my kids papers for school, making lists, and pretty much anything that strikes my fancy.  I am having to fight my kids to keep them.

None of these pens are really meant for drawing, but I love my daughter's art!  I'm so glad she found the time to do some doodles for my post!  You can find all of these wonderful Pentel products at Shoplet.
