I love it. Tucks into the pen loop of my planner and I get questions about it.

I am very pleased with the pen I ordered. I love the look of it and it writes smooth and clear. My opinion is that it is the best.

Beautiful and high quality. I own a couple Retro 51 Tornado pens now, and have always been impressed with the craftsmanship and creativity in their designs. This Buzz design is no different!

writes so smoothly

This pen is beautiful! The bees and he color are really gorgeous and the hand feel is fabulous! Love the stand and it keeps it easy for use so easy while displaying it!A different yet beautiful pen!Of course The Goulet Pen Co experience was superb, as ALWAYS!

Bought this little gem as a gift for my husband. He's a sucker for a Retro 51 pen and he's been on a bee kick lately, so this was the perfect combination. Smooth writing, beautiful design, and a truly lovely texture on the barrel.

I typically only use fountain pens, but this rollerball exceeded my expectations! This was my first Retro 51 purchase and it won't be my last. I loved the look of this pen online but when I saw it in person at a different retail store I put it on my Goulet wishlist. The 3D honeycombs are beautiful in person, as are the bronze colored accents. This pen would make a great gift for the hobby gardener or anyone who loves bees. I used it with my travelers notebook insert and it's the perfect combo. The black ink refill it comes with is really dark and smooth which makes for a nice writing experience too.

The overall quality of this pen was far higher than I expected for the price. It really is a pleasure to hold it. And the writing experience is solid.

Okay, this is the nicest rollerball pen I've ever owned! It writes very smoothly and the ink line is solid. I love the embossed honeycombs. Using copper rather than gold or silver accents is more in keeping with the theme of the pen. It's my favourite!

I'm a fountain pen user for the most part, but there's always need for a pen that will make impressions through carbon paper, etc. That takes a rollerball (or, dare I say it? A ballpoint), and this Retro 1951 Tornado series of rollerballs gets the job done and is just a whole lot of fun to write with. The Bees pen I acquired for $42. The detail on this pen for that price is remarkable. As an example, the beehive motif is engraved into the pen, not merely printed. A cute image of a honey bear graces the cap.Most, maybe all, of the Retro 1951 Tornado line of pens is less expensive than Buzz. So if $42 seems steep for a rollerball, even for the wonderful Buzz, you can likely find another Retro 1951 pen you like at a lower price point.

I sent this as a birthday gift to a friend who is a beekeeper and sells honey and beeswax products. She loved it! The design coordinates very well with her product labels and she raved about the weight of the pen and how nicely it writes.

A beautiful pen and it is so smooth to write with. Like all Retro 51 Tornado it's a great pen!Olga

I bought this pen as a birthday gift for my sister, Bee. When it arrived at my door this afternoon I had to give it a try before wrapping it up for her. I have seen the brand on the site for a while now but I never gave it a second look; I was being snobby about the pen not having a nib. I definitely didn't expect to be wowed by this pen. The first thing I noticed upon opening the cylindrical box was how the honeycomb design on the barrel catches the light and the pen isn't too heavy (I feared the materials would make it too weighty for my weak hand). I gave those superficial details a nod but I *knew* it would not write well enough to impress me. Again I was wowed! The pen wrote super smooth. I was 100% wrong and even snooty about this pen. In fact, I am so impressed by it that I am on Goulet picking one out for myself now. Give this pen a shot and surprise yourself like I did! Additionally, your purchase will help a good cause.
