Not something I bought a long time ago but I want to share the idea, I have now got myself One Single Ballpen. I was moving and saw that I'd got way too many ballpens that were not even used and that I would not use at all that were just offered or I don't even know how I got them. So I bought myself a metal ballpen with some recharges, and well in one year i've not even finished the first recharge, and i've basically only written with this pen and signed with this pen

I got a Rotring 600 and it's holding well for me!

Get you a Schmidt easy flow refill for that thing. Smooth as butter.

Schmidt

I got some Schmidt EasyFlow 9000 recharges they are in my bag, but I haven't even finished the first Rotring charge which is already quite smooth, my SO was chocked when she borrowed it. Kind of impatiently waiting to have no ink left to try those Schmidt's!

If you got them off Amazon be prepared for the occasional dud. The good ones are noticeably smoother than what comes with the Rotring.

Yeah, I mostly took it because it felt in hand and looked resistant. It's almost all the time in my jacket pocket so some would say I'm not perfectly taking care of it and a but of the blue "paint" has been wearing a bit of on the handle part

The only right answer is Uniball Jetstream, probably 0.7mm. Buy the multi-pen and a bunch of refills and you're good to go.

Jetpens.Com is a nice site.
