I got the True Writer Classic Firenze Ballpoint Pen and the True Writer Classic Carrara Ballpoint Pen. First of all, they’re beautiful pens. I really love the design and will be using these forever. However, they are more difficult to write with than your average pen. You have to put down pressure before they start writing and the ink skips. It’s not a clear, solid black; once on the paper, it looks like it was written with a spotty old pen. I ended up replacing the ink with some ballpoint pens I had lying around my house that I got for free from different companies over the years and they write a lot smoother than the Levenger brand ballpoint inks. Really disappointed in this because the cost is more than what someone would pay for your average pen at Walmart however it writes below average. Again, a very aesthetically pleasing pen, but the point of a pen is to write with, not just be pretty, and I just hate that I spent that much on two ballpoint pens that I ended up replacing the ink with the ink from free pens I had just lying around.
