  I haven’t! Tell me what you think about it.

    Imagine writing smoothly like butter as clouds part and angels sing. Unfortunately, it’s not water safe, but it’s great. My favorite feature is that it dries REALLY quickly, so I can left-hand without smudging.

      The water safety is what nudged me off fountain pens and back to ballpoints. I use a bullet journal and don’t want water to wash it all away. I know you can get fountain inks that are more resistant, but at that level of finickiness, I’d rather just carry a lower maintenance ballpoint, and the Jetstream is good enough that I don’t miss my other lovely pens. PS: One time a reporter asked me what I thought of a particular food, and I described it as snacking on the wings of angels sent to earth for our dining pleasure, and they quoted me. My wife reminds me of this often.

  Not the GP but I have (BL77), and much prefer the Jetstream.

  +1 to EnerGel and the RSVP which are my two daily drivers.
