Faber-Castell Multimark 1514


What's disappointing about this pen is that it's not waterproof.  That means, any AMOUNT as long as it's got water in it, the ink will run, and run it will bye bye Mickey Mouse.  Otherwise, it's fine.  Just make sure you keep your sweaty hands away, close your mouth if you're a chronic drooler, if not, then the occasional head-turner, just in case you do.

It does mention that it's water soluble.  So if you're not me, you'd have spotted it and thought... hmm... water destructible (because it is what will really happen, good bye to carefully hand written notes--even ugly scratches and duck hieroglyphs are worth saving) .  I didn't see the (warning) sign, so I went through the very annoying 'lo-and-behold-what-on-earth-is-going-on-oh-it's-my-fault-it's-written-right-here-I'm-such-an-idiot' phase.

It weeps like cheap mascara.  So did I, when I found out.
