This means I try to avoid using ballpoint pens if I can. Recently I had a good reason to use one, though. I&#8217;ll spare you the details why, but suffice to say that I first tried to avoid using a ballpoint pen.<\/p>\n<h4>Faber-Castell Grip 2011 Gel pen<\/h4>\n<p>Instead, I first tried to use my seven year old Faber-Castell Grip 2011 Gel pen. Well, it was worth a try, but it didn\u2019t work. The refill cartridge was either dried out or used up. I assume it was used up, because I tried to squeeze any leftover gel out, as you might see from the dented cartridge in the photo, but I was unsuccessful.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2299\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2299\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepencompany.live\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/gelion-grip2011.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2299\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thepencompany.live\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/gelion-grip2011-1024x592.jpg\" alt=\"Faber-Castell Grip 2011, Silvine 190 notebook, Staedtler stick and Schneider Gelion 39\" width=\"650\" height=\"376\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2299\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Faber-Castell Grip 2011, Silvine 190 notebook, Staedtler stick and Schneider Gelion 39<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>Staedtler stick 430 M<\/h4>\n<p>As the Gelroller didn\u2019t work I tried Staedtler\u2019s Welsh-made stick 430 M (also discontinued &#8211; at least the Welsh version was) which I stored in the same pencil case as the Grip 2011. After many years of neglect it started writing immediately and left a clear line without any skipping. What a tough worker the Staedtler stick is! I was positively impressed.<\/p>\n<h4>Faber-Castell Gelroller Refill Blue<\/h4>\n<p>I remember that I loved the line I got from the Grip 2011\u2019s original cartridge, a Faber-Castell Gelroller Refill Blue (24 97 51), but unfortunately\u00a0Faber-Castell stopped making these refills. I was searching for alternatives for quite a while, but all I could find was either very expensive, from the more luxurious brands, or erasable (using an &#8216;ink killer&#8217;). The erasable version was even from Faber-Castell, but I wasn\u2019t keen on erasable ink for this pen.<\/p>\n<h4>Schneider Gelion 39<\/h4>\n<p>In the end I found Schneider\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepencompany.live\/product\/schneider-gelion-39-gel-refill\/8826\/\" target=\"_blank\">Gelion 39 Refill on The Pen Company\u2019s web site<\/a>.\u00a0I ordered the blue version for \u00a31.70 (~$2.45; \u20ac2.25).<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a Standard G2, Parker style ballpoint refill size so it did fit the Grip 2011 Gel pen perfectly. As far as I can tell the Grip 2011 Gel pen is using exactly the same body as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepencompany.live\/product\/faber-castell-grip-2010-harmony-ballpoint-pen\/\" target=\"_blank\">Grip 2011 ballpoint pen<\/a>, but with an additional \u201cGel\u201d imprint at the end of the pen.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2300\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2300\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepencompany.live\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/grip2011.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thepencompany.live\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/grip2011-1024x515.jpg\" alt=\"Faber-Castell Grip 2011 ballpoint pen and gel rollerball\" width=\"650\" height=\"327\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2300\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">My Grip 2011 family<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>My impressions, based on the memory I have of the original Faber-Castell refill, are quite similar to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.penaddict.com\/blog\/2009\/12\/4\/review-schneider-gelion.html\" target=\"_blank\">The Pen Addict\u2019s<\/a> (assuming that Schneider\u2019s Gelion pen uses the Gelion 39 refill). I didn\u2019t see his review until after I tried my refill, so I wasn\u2019t influenced by his thoughts. However, in a nutshell: I think it\u2019s a great refill, but on the type of paper I have tried so far the refill\u2019s ink will get (slightly) soaked into the paper, so the border of the lines you write are not as clear as the one Faber-Castell\u2019s discontinued refill produced. I love clear, sharp lines, but everyone is different \u2013 you might not mind.<\/p>\n<h4>Conclusion<\/h4>\n<p>Overall, this is a very reasonably priced refill that provides great value for money. Once it\u2019s used up, which might take years, I might be looking for a refill with crisper line borders, though.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Price: January 2016<\/p>\n<p>Exchange rates: February 2016<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As you might or might not know: I prefer pencils and fountain pens to ballpoint and similar pens.
