I bought this pen (originally £9.99) with a discount code so got it for v. cheap. Nonetheless, at that price, for a rollerball, I'd expect a pen that works well. And indeed, initially, it did. The pen has a lovely, hefty weight to it and is beautiful to look at. My only complaint at this stage was that, whilst the body and end of the pen is pentagonal, the cap is round, meaning it cannot be posted (put on the back when writing) which was disappointing and not what I'd expect from such a pen and company. However, it seemed to write well otherwise. However, after a day, the pen started skipping and was very scratchy and unpleasant to write with. No matter what I did, the problem persisted. It was only when I tried it on a thick piece of paper that it (momentarily at least) started writing normally again. I would expect this from a fountain pen but from a rollerball this is unacceptable.
