Trotz sei­nes bedau­erns­wer­ten Zustands noch zwei­fels­frei zu iden­ti­fi­zie­ren ist die­ser BIC Cris­tal, des­sen gut gefüll­ter Tin­ten­tank auf einen nur kur­zen Gebrauch schlie­ßen lässt.

Der BIC Cris­tal kam 1950 auf den Markt und gilt als der meist­ver­kaufte Kugel­schrei­ber – kein Wun­der also, dass er auch mal auf einer Straße im Osten Rüs­sels­heims herumliegt.

  1. That’s a very inte­res­t­ing per­spec­tive! I think that some­ti­mes it’s pre­cis­ely this poten­tial that makes us exci­ted about a fresh pen­cil or a new note­book. And then we put the note­book aside for the time being because it’s too pre­cious and write a simple shop­ping list with the pencil ;-)

  2. Used to be like that until I rea­li­zed that I’m just a simple cus­to­dian of the objects I have for a limi­ted period of time. So now, I try to use all that I have. Ím quite sur­pri­sed to find many items that have never ever been used or that I sim­ply for­got I alre­ady owned.

  3. That’s a very wise atti­tude! And yes, I think that many of us have things we’ve used very little or not at all. I’m no excep­tion, and I’m curr­ently going through a phase (or per­haps it’s just my age?) where I’m let­ting go of a lot of things and redis­co­ve­ring others.

  4. So am I. I used to keep a box full of pen­cils that I con­side­red “infe­rior” or that for some reason I didn’t liked and those went unu­sed for the bet­ter part of a decade. Last year I deci­ded to use them all up by wri­ting on my diary. Ever­y­time one bacame a little stub, I went for ano­ther. Today I only have 3 pen­cils left!

    In the pro­cess I dis­co­vered that my infa­tua­tion with Japa­nese pen­cils kind of spoi­led me and make me dis­dain firmer or ligh­ter cores. Now I pre­fer some of those for long wri­ting sessions.

  5. It’s great to hear that you have almost used up all the pen­cils in that spe­cial box. I have a simi­lar box but it also con­ta­ins the remains of pen­cil and shar­pe­ner tests.

    Yes, these great Japa­nese pen­cils really make you want to try and use sof­ter pen­cils. Many years ago the STAEDTLER micro car­bon thin leads in HB were my favou­rite but now they are too hard and light for me. Howe­ver, now and then I use a Mitsu­bi­shi uni in H (or the 2 mm lead in that gread) on sui­ta­ble paper and enjoy it!

  6. Mitsu F or H pen­cils are ama­zing for wri­ting ses­si­ons. Love the fact that you can write a lot of para­graphs wit­hout the need to shar­pen. I also enjoy Staedtler’s Tra­di­tion in those gra­des. But yeah, paper is key to enjoy­ment. Much like foun­tain pens.

  7. Yes, they really are! It’s ama­zing how much of an impact paper has on the wri­ting expe­ri­ence (and that’s why I always steer clear of those super-​smooth paper types).
