Affiliate links bring me a small kickback at no extra cost for you, these are for the Amazon store:

The reigning champion “Faber-Castell” https://amzn.to/3QOtQWt

The 2nd place “Schneider Job” https://amzn.to/3Redk1J (I have no idea why, but single pack has some absurd price, maybe it’s just showing me this due to my location, but the 10 packs has a much-much more interesting price) And they actually do have a refill (at least from what I found on Google), but I couldn’t get much info about it.

The most popular highlighter in Europe (recommended by a r/pens user) and that took days to get “Stabilo Boss Original” https://amzn.to/3e1Xjxr They also have cool desk sets with a stand that holds 15 or 23 highlighters, check it out: https://amzn.to/3TkwEME

The long lasting BiC Brite Liner XL https://amzn.to/3ctrmOn

The Auchan and Buromax ones are probably not available in your area, and I will be covering more brands - Pilot FriXon, Sharpie and Centropen in a follow up video dedicated to “portable” highlighters.. And I am curious about the fade test and how that will play out.

Curious what the manufacturers might have to say about the test and results.

@Auchan idk how hard would it be stop selling those super cheap ones? Could it be that the @STABILO highlighters were old or improperly stored? Or maybe the @BIC Group Official does have refills? I would assume the @Faber-Castell are happy with everything, but my pronunciation :D Honestly, I tried.. I really did! Multiple times! xD
