Great video! I couldn’t decide between this and the other Dr. Grip, but your video helped me see I would prefer the grip on this one. Very helpful, so thank you.
If you go on jetpens.com and search for this pen (and they have it in their stock), you will find a refill link near the item description. This will give you a list of compatible refills. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching and commenting. :-)
Found you while searching for the lamy safari black (which I just bough earlier today). Seeing as that video was 3 years ago, you still have the same tone of voice / personality when speaking. It's good to see that you are treading life better than most people. Good luck.
Thanks so much; I appreciate that. I'm not sure that I'm getting through life better than others, but if nothing, I tend to be consistent. Plus, I've gotten to practice teaching, presenting, and public speaking almost every day for 15 years, so I think I'm comfortable with that part of things. It's probably why I seem the same. Thanks very much for watching and commenting. :-)
What is the best ballpoint pen (< $30) with a large refill can (I don't like replacing refills often) in your opinion? Best by ink quality and line smoothness?
Honestly, one of my favorite ballpoints is just a simple Bic Cristal. They're really inexpensive and work flawlessly. I also really love the ballpoint pens from the brand Lug. I know this didn't answer your exact question, but Bic Cristals are my favorite ballpoints. Thanks for watching and commenting. :-)
Hi! If you go to www.jetpens.com and search the product, you will find a link to all compatible refills. It's a really useful tool to find refills for any pen or pencil. Thanks for watching and commenting. :-)
I love pilot. Japan. An eldritch recondite and erudite "sui generis" loves writing instruments in this functional caliber. Axiom is where it's @ though. Luv u, thx.
If you go to jetpens.com, you can search the Dr. Grip, click on a pen, and then click on the recommended refills/parts under the description tab. It will tell you every refill that is compatible with this pen. You can then choose from size, color, and ink formulation. I hope this helps! Thanks for watching and commenting. :-)
No. The reference to "center of gravity" is about how the pen is weighted. It's weighted in a way that is supposed to cause less stress on your hand. It's not at all like the Fisher Space Pen. Thanks for watching and commenting. :-)

How do you replace the ink? I am having so much trouble!
Unscrew the rubber grip half from the plastic top half. The refill should be just inside.
I hope this helps.

Another great video. Helped me identify a pen I had forgotten the name of. I knew it was a Dr. Grip, but I knew it wasn't a regular one. Thanks.
Thank you, and you're welcome. Glad I could help!

Can this pen write on a piece of paper against a wall, and also when lying down on one's back, and also under water - like with a 'Fisher Space Pen'?
No. The reference to "center of gravity" is about how the pen is weighted. It's weighted in a way that is supposed to cause less stress on your hand. It's not at all like the Fisher Space Pen.

What kind of notebook is that?
It's a Hobonichi Cousin.
