  1. I don't know why, I've just been using them my whole life, and they're comfortable for me. The platonic ideal of Pen. Especially the blue medium.

As a shorthand writer I approve of this comment.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 days ago

Definitely 5, so much better than 99% of other pens.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 days ago

Pilot G2 if I must, but the real answer is a Lamy Safari.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

If I HAVE to use a ballpoint, it's going to have to be a rollerball. Like the Uniball. But really, I'd take just about any fountain pen over any of them.

A Lemmy of culture I see. Love the Visconti.

Edit : Just noticed the stealth VP over on the right.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Thanks, I think it's one of my best looking pens. The VP isn't a VP, it's a MoonMan A1. I'm not sure if it's made by Majohn or not, but it is super similar to their A1 and A2 if it's not. Writes well, good seal. For under $30. Highly recommend.

Was a committed G2 guy for YEARS (ultra fine all the way). But I’m a lefty, so ink smears were still a problem (though the G2 is better than most on that front). Then I learned about the Sarasa Dry pens from Zebra. The ink dries INSTANTLY, and writes like a G2. But they’re hard to find so I always stock up when I see them.

Show me the fucking feather

#5 carried me through three degrees.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

I dont see any on here I would swear by.

I have taken a liking to the Pilot B2Ps, they are made of recycled water bottles, I liked them simply for the fact that they're the one type of pen we have in abundance at the office that no one else bothers to steal for some reason.

I like the Staples TRU RED series too.

what the hell is wrong with me, a year ago I'd be obsessing over some video game or hobby and now im discussing my pen model preferences, I think I've crossed the proto-boomer threshold

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

Where the fuck are the Zebra pens

Anyone saying anything but #7 is delulu. There's a reason Bic won pens

Uni Mitsubishi .38 I want it too feel like I'm stabbing the paper when I write

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Does it also come in 9mm? I feel like .38 is a bit underpowered.

3, it's the easiest to activate and handle

5 has the ink i use, the g2 whatever. But I use it in the fat Dr. Grip pen, cause of my old hands.

The real question: Is that Pilot G7 a 0.10 or a 0.07? Very different pens. 0.7 ftw

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

This one right here by zebra: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N6VIUPS

By far my favorite pen

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

I prefer the F-701 personally but yeah, any Zebra pen over the ones in the op

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

The Japanese uni-ball pens are sweet, ~~don't think they are on this~~ Nvm it's #1 or close enough

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Pretty sure both 1 and 2 are jp and good

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

I was using whatever pens I could get before I found the JP pens. Now when I see one, I have to get it. The writing feels as though it glides like a brush over the paper.

Besides that, not sure why people say they explode on them, mine are indestructable. I write and draw with a very heavy hand and they stay rock solid. Pretty good pick for heavy handed people.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

cant go wrong with the BIC pen. #1 is not as good but very satisfying to use, strong contender.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Where is my Sakura 03 micron??? 🥲

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

3 or 5 was always my goto. That being said, I didn't have to write anything by hand in the last 15 years, and I'm pretty much forgot how it's done

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

1 is already very similar to my pen of choice, and 2 used to be my pen of choice. So depending on how they feel, one of them.
