Zebra Pen Sarasa Retractable Gel Ink Pens, Medium Point 0.7mm, Blue Ink, 5-Pack

I am immediately impressed with the Zebra SARASA Gel Pen! I stumbled upon one of these while walking to the library and the exterior just caught my eye. At first I was assuming it was some kind of Brown, or maybe some kind of Red, or some kind of Red/Brown hybrid...like Mahogany(really!, this one was on the tip of my tongue). And so, I decided to search, and Eureka!, I think I'm a fan.

It's strange that some folks are having drying and running, smudging problems with these. I'm using the Sarasa retractable gel pens, 14 colors, and love them. I've stored them for months, will go pick one up and it starts right off. No drying up. I've used them until they are empty, never with a glop or running problem. The barrels have held up fine. I don't get it. Maybe they fixed all the problems spoken of before I bought them 2 or so years ago. My most favorite colors of all are Cobalt, Forest, Navy, & Mahogany.
