- 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.
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.
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.
A 0.38 tip size of No.5
Pilot g2 is the way to go
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.
Anyone saying anything but #7 is delulu. There’s a reason Bic won pens

#2. 100%
The Japanese uni-ball pens are sweet,
don’t think they are on thisNvm it’s #1 or close enoughPretty sure both 1 and 2 are jp and good
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.
cant go wrong with the BIC pen. #1 is not as good but very satisfying to use, strong contender.
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.
They call it the “Precise V7”, but the ink makes it anything but. I think make it out of ground-up neutron stars.
But that’s why I like them. The writing’s no good if it doesn’t bleed a little.
None of these pieces of shit.
Probably would stick with my Pilot S95 Elite, or if I wanted something a little less flashy, my Lamy Vista.
0 I don’t hand write

Always
With a .07 ball. I don’t tolerate .05 or .1 heretics in my G2 superiority worldview.
What does that make me (0.38 user)?!?
Also, I think you mean 1.0, 0.7 and 0.5
I have been known to hunt all over town for a store that sells this size, back before just ordering something online was so ubiquitous. This is the best size; my letters turn into blobs with anything larger
A lawyer
I don’t have words to describe how much I would hate to use one of those. I already feel like I’m scratching the paper with the 0.5.
And…yea. You’re right. I got my decimal point in the wrong place.
I had a proffessor in college that only allowed the use of 1mm black G2s. He was ancient and claimed he could not read anything else
Might as well use a fucking crayon.
I only like 1.0. I want that shit poured out.
My handwriting is borderline illegible already and I find with the 1.0 pens I just end up with blobs of ink.
I need all the different thicknesses for different writing tasks!! 1.0 is BOLD!
My beloved
