I’ve been using the new Cross Ion pen for a few months now, and it has worked wonderfully. I think my favorite thing about it is the small size it goes to, which is easy on my pockets. That’s also why I think I’d like a Tungsten T. But apparently I just ran an entire load of clothes through the washer and dryer with this pen, unknowingly of course. I saw the pen first thing when I opened the dryer, and even though some of my favorite shirts were in there for some reason the first thing I did was see if the pen still worked! Even better yet, it did. On to the clothes: as far as I can tell there are no ink stains on anything! I’ll do a closer examination in the morning but things look good.
