BIC Ultra Round Stic Grip

   This pen, much like its cousin the BIC Soft Feel Medium, writes smoothly. And while the point is a little bolder, still a medium at 1.2mm, than I generally prefer, the words go effortlessly from pen to page. The only hard part is thinking about the words to write.
   I keep plenty of these pens on hand in my office because they have never failed me. I just do not keep them in my pockets, but they stay in my bag on assignments due to the fact that they are not retractable. The BIC Ultra Round Stic Grip is a pen that comes with a cap, lid, or whatever you want to call the piece that prevents the pen from writing on things it is not intended to write on (i.e. my pocket). This is great except, I like to be able to take my pen out of my pocket and have it ready to go with just one hand, since I usually have a camera and note pad with me most times.
  The cap can become easy to lose in quick writing situations, leaving the pen unsheathed, but that is the only major downside to this pen. While it lacks the quick-draw aspect I enjoy, the way it smoothly crosses the paper makes it a good asset to keep at the desk or as a spare in a bag.
