I've been using a universal plastic BIC pen for the last couple of years now and find it works pretty well, especially on 1st cleans. It's perfect for getting at those cobwebs in the corners. I've changed the nib to a superlight, and the difference in weight is amazing. No more worn-out fingers at the end of the day for me!! I'm hoping to upgrade to a Gardiners telescopic super-pen in the future but lets face it, it's unlikely i'll ever be able to afford one.
