BIC Cristal Xtra Smooth Ballpoint Pen, Medium Point (1.0mm), Blue, 10-Count

I've been using Bic pens since I was in elementary school. I'm now 63 & I'm still using them. I went overseas & attended a VERY exclusive private school & I still used them. I was told I had nice writing by my teachers, my reply was always the same, my obsession w/ Bic pens was part of the reason for my "nice writing". The shape of the barrel, that smooth flow of the ink, & even the ability to "erase" my mistakes (I had good binder paper!), all contributed to my neat writing assignments. I wasn't artistic like most of my female friends. They'd decorate & enlighten their essays, but I didn't have THAT talent. But boy! I could embellish my papers bc I always had all the colors of Bic pens! As for smudging, I never had that particular problem. If there were problems it was the ink itself & not the design of the pen. First the pen would explode bc of the ambient heat, or they'd dry out (maybe thickened is a better word) & the ink didn't for at ALL, but a bit of controlled heat from a lighter (some of my friends in Jr. High already smoked!) would fix that issue. All in all, Bic pens were economical, they had good quality ink, very rarely, 1 in 100 I'd say, would develop some skipping or they'd leave globs of ink (overflow of ink) as you wrote, but it WAS so rare I can still remember them doing THAT. However, they were so economical that my Grandma would buy them by the box bc all 3 of her oldest grandkids would be given those pens to use. In fact, my school would include their contracted school supplies in our school packet, & those would inevitably fail us in the 1st week or month of our school year. I'd give those to my cousins (they had the school shield & of course the name of the school) but must of us would be carrying our own supplies, & give away the school's. I was always the one using Bic pens every year, all yr. And one of my friends, HIS father was the Chinese rep for a writing instrument manufacturer, so he usually had the latest models/styles of pens & pencils. He'd show the small circle of aficionados who would appreciate whatever was brand new in the newest offered writing instruments. Bic wasn't in his father's supply chain, he'd have been mobbed if he had access! Anyway, there are more Pros than Cons to using Bic pens. I AM not just computer literate, I was a trained & certified Computer Operator in the mid-80s, & kept up my knowledge bc I REALLY like computers in all their aspects. Now I can revive legacy machines, from desktops to Chromebooks, though i can't really do business w/ my knowledge. The point is that I CHOOSE to write w/ pen & paper some aspects of my life bc a notebook & pen don't crash, & my words don't just disappear if I've forgotten to Save my work when i close my spiral notebook, & finally, I use what's been effective & dependable all these yrs. And yes, I have ordered, & will continue to buy Bic pens in every color they make (blue black, red, & green), especially through Amazon bc they've NOT let me down, & w/ the rose in gas prices, it's actually cheaper to have them delivered w/ my groceries.

These pins in this style have been around for years and they are the only pin that my husband likes so I buy those just for him. They write smoothly and the color is a nice blue and true too Bic, they are a good quality. The price was also a bonus as this was pretty cheap for the amount of pins that you got. I do recommend I don’t know that I’ll have to buy again just because there’s so many in the pack!

Nice blue color. Comfortable grip and soft glide.

These are my favorite pens. They have bold color very rarely leak. The writing is smooth and they are quality pens!

these BIC Cristal Xtra Smooth pens are a dependable choice for everyday writing. The blue ink flows consistently and produces clear, easy to read lines with very little skipping. The medium point is versatile enough for taking notes, filling out forms, journaling, or general office and school use. The lightweight barrel is comfortable to hold, even during longer writing sessions, and the ink glides more smoothly than standard ballpoint pens. I also appreciate that the pens start writing right away without needing to scribble on scrap paper first. I am giving these four stars because while they perform very well for everyday tasks, the ink is not quite as bold or smooth as some higher end gel pens. Even so, they are reliable, long lasting, and offer excellent value for the price. Overall, this pack is a great option for anyone looking for affordable, dependable pens that deliver consistent performance for home, school, or the office.

These are great and inexpensive pens. I like the fact that I could buy in a bundle, as we lose a lot of pens in this house!

The best ballpoint pens money can buy. Writes very smoothly and the color pops, it is visible on the other side of the page which is annoying at time but I don't want to take off a star for that.

I love these pens. I have used tons of different types, cheap, expensive, ones that i have stolen from others, hotels, etc. But these are my favorite!

This is a good set of pens to keep at home or in the office. I prefer the Medium tip. Writes smoothly and lasts a long time!

Great value pens that perform well. Recommended.

ヨーロッパにいたときによく使っていました。芯は太めですがとにかくなめらかで書きやすいです。こんなに滑らかに書けるボールペンは知りません。

I used to use these many many years ago and picked up and used one recently. I had forgotten how smooth they wrote and it inspired me to buy a box. Get some. I don't think you will be dissapoinyed.
