BIC Cristal Re'New, Penna Ricaricabile Nera a Sfera, Fusto in Metallo (Punta 1mm), Confezione 1 Penna + 2 Ricariche

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great pen, very easy to write with, the rollerball was very smooth and the pen didn't skip any ink leaving any gaps. I enjoyed the weighty feel of the pen and it sat nicely in my hand.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't usually like writing in biro, I much prefer a flowing ink, but I was pleasantly surprised by the BIC Cristal Re'New pen. It was lovely & smooth to write with, the ink wasn't too thick & it did isn't smudge.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pen is lovely to hold and writes beautifully. I love the fact when it runs out I can just replace the ink, rather than throwing away yet more plastic when the pen is done.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love the feel of this pen, feels very sturdy unlike plastic ones. I also like the fact you can refill them rather than just throw it away once the ink has run out. Writes really well!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved it! the easy to change refills make using the pen a fan favourite. Most of my office girlies were jealous that I got to trial this out, they are ordering their own. Great to just use one great pen and not have to worry about constant breaking or plastic. Great for the environment too to reuse and relove!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this just as day to day pen. It fits nicely in my hand and does not slip when being held. It writes smoothly and I like that it comes with two refils.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] DISCLOSURE: I got the product for free in exchange for writing this review. So I want to be very clear. I am a huge fan of pens. I have Parker's, Cross's, ballpoints, Staedtler rapidograph pens, technical pens, calligraphy pens, all sorts of inks you name it. I'm a graphic designer and I've been using pens my whole life to draw and sketch. I was very intrigued with Bic's new Cristal metal pen. I wanted to see what all the bzzz was about... and more importantly if it could fit into my pen collection. I think growing up Bic was probably the very first pen I used when I transitioned from pencil in school to being allowed use pen. I'm almost positive.. it was a generic bic blue pen, they were everywhere. I still use them today I think have a pile of them somewhere black ink, not blue. This pen is pretty much one of those but instead of the clear plastic shell the shell here is comprised of a silver metal. It's nice. it has the big logo neatly embossed on the side, it looks nice. It has a lovely weight in the hand. Everything else is pretty much standard big, the refill look like the ink cartridge you would find in one of the clear disposable versions. In fact the pen writes pretty identically like it's disposable iteration. Even the cap is similar and not metal like the body of the pen itself sadly. Luckily I picked up the black ink version. The big black ink is a very matt affair, it doesn't have much of a sheen, glossy quality like a lot of other pens, it drys pretty much instantaneously so there is no messy wet ink stains like you might get with other pens. It is an interesting concept. The packaging is itself a standardised bit affair, the box in white and yellow telling you that the big pen inside it metal with a little window to show the pen. The refill comes in an uneventful brown envelope like container. Would I recommend it, probably to the eco conscious people who only ever use pens now and again. Not for those diehards like myself unfortunately.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fantastic pen! BIC kindly sent me this free sample through the BzzAgent sampling program and I've loved using it! The pen has a good weight to it and is comfortable to hold and write with. It feels like a quality product as it's made from metal as opposed to plastic. It writes really smoothly and dries quickly meaning no smudging! The product comes with two refills which are easy to load making this a much more environmentally friendly product alongwith recyclable packaging. I would definately buy this pen. The only negative I can mention is that the lid feels cheap in comparison to the metal shaft as it's plastic.
