You will need to keep a close eye on your BIC® Soft Feel® Retractable Ballpoint Pens because anyone that tries writing with this pen will be hooked. The BIC Soft Feel pens give a two-fold writing satisfaction with the smooth feeling of the ballpoint and the cushy grip. You don’t have to worry about your pen drying out because the BIC retractable pen doesn’t need a cap; just click the button on the end of the pen and your ballpoint will retract so the ink stays fresh. Most people know about the satisfying writing that only a BIC ballpoint pen can offer because the name has been around for so many years. It is a go-to school and office supply. What Makes This Soft Pen Different From a Traditional BIC Ballpoint Pen? The BIC soft feel has a grip that goes between your fingers and the plastic coating on the pen, which is more comfortable and allows you to write all your notes without getting any calluses on your writing fingers. Is the Ink Lighter in the BIC Soft Feel Medium? No. This is the classic black color that you know and love. Although it is described as medium, this does not imply that it is a lighter shade, it is still the black you want for any important documents that require black ink. Can I Keep This Pen in My Purse Without It Damaging the Interior? Yes. The retractable feature of the BIC Soft Feel Retractable Ballpoint Pen is ideal for keeping in your purse or even shirt pocket. Sometimes pens can lose their caps when stored in a bag and can leave unfortunate lines that are impossible to clean, but the BIC retractable pen tip stays inside the pen itself until you are ready to write. Can I Use this BIC Ballpoint Pen for Legal Documents? Yes. The ink in the BIC soft feel pens is the medium black that is required for documents that specifically ask for a black ink pen. There will be no issues with the ink in this pen for legal documents.
