Pilot Frixion Pen


Purchased as a single for $2.29

The Pilot Flexion Pen writes very smoothly, with good startup and no ink feed glitches that I've seen. Erasing works pretty well, with most of the ink disappearing. You can still see a slight shadow of the ink behind, but it's pretty faint. The Eraser doesn't rip up the paper, either.

I'm not so happy with the ink color, as it's a very light black/dark grey. The Pen leaves a wet ink trail that dry's over ~ 15 sec, so a lefty may have trouble with this pen.

The pen itself is comfortable to write with. It's a capped pen, with a nice rubberized grip and good diameter for writing.

The graphic design is pretty bad. It looks like a tribal tattoo design, printed in silver on a black pen body.

Overall I'll give it a C, primarily for the graphics. if you don't mind trying too hard for that, it's a decent erasable pen.

Use it for a week and you'll find it runs out much faster than any of your other pens.
