🍑 Pilot Petit3 Apricot Orange SPN-15KK-AO: Compact Color Brush Pen for Portability Review

This pen is very cute! The tip isn't a bristle brush, it's more of a pointed foam tip, a bit like the Tombow Dual Brush Pen. I have a hard time writing with a brush as I'm left-handed, but I think I'll be fine with this pen after a little practice. The blue ink is very bright and flows smoothly.

They sent a used pen instead of a new one. It arrived with the seal already broken and the ink tip already dry. These pens don't usually do that, the brushes start white where you have to insert the cartridge yourself and let the ink flow into the tip the first time. This is terrible service. I didn't pay for someone else's garbage.

This is a great little pen, but the "brush nib" is a molded foam nib and looks more like an adjustable nib liner than a real brush pen. Still, it's a pleasure to work with and the ink flow is really intuitive, but it's a great traditional art pen. If you are looking for a bristle brush pen, I would try the Pentel Pocket Brush Pen. If Pilot made a true bristle based pen with the quality of ink you find from this little guy I would buy it in a heartbeat.
