Typically pilot g2. Regular bic at work though. I feel nothing when i lose them

Always have 2 in my pocket.

2, gels take too long to dry and smear.

I always bite the end off biros, so that’s a problem.

Got converted to the pilot G-2 club (5) by someone who goes through an ink refill a week with them. They are precise, reliably dark, and silky smooth to write with. I am actively disappointed when forced to write with average pens instead

I think #2 is a v5, nice pen, but the v7 is much better.

If #2 is a v5 then I go for #3, the sharpie s-gel. All solid choices, 6 is a little more niche and most of these can't replace 6, nor can it replace a standard writing implement. 6 is a trick entry

5 writes like silk. I really love that pen, especially that chonky boy 1.0mm

i pick the fountain pen i’m already carrying with the fatass german medium nib and enough ink to last a year between refills.

3. I already rock these in dark purple ink. For me there is no other.

7. Good and reliable. Any with ink like 5 are annoying to use left handed.

All of them will run out of ink long before I do, though.

5. But honestly after using the Pilot G2 0.7 for years, I've found the Pentel Energel Kuro 0.7 to be the superior comparable pen.

Number 5, Gimmie that G2, baby.

3 or 5. I need to click the button on top 10 times a second. There's no way I'm giving that up.

Where's my fountain pen? Say Lamy Safari.

These are all newbie pens.

😔

5

No mechanical pencil options? If I have to give up my Pentel Graphgear 1000 for some inky un-erasable bullshit I'm ending it all.

3. writes smooth, is fidget toy

1-7

My handwriting is shit no matter what kind of pen I use.

2 - Pilot Precise v5 plz

I'm gonna be chaotic and say that I have no preference unless any are felt tip. I don't want those.

4 by a wide margin.

1 is good but it skips more in my experience.

2 is probably better for art. The long thin tip is less obstructive to vision, but it's fragile enough that I wouldn't want to lend it.

3 It's a gel pen, which is a good compromise between rollerball and ballpoint in many ways. However, if you can handle the problems of a gel pen, you can handle a rollerball and get better results.

5 (see number 3)

6 The writing equivalent of nails on a chalkboard. I can feel the texture of the paper on my teeth when I write with a felt-tip pen. No cost or performance benefit over other options, to my knowledge. Probably just an outdated technology.

7 The best general-purpose pen in terms of cost per mile. Prone to smudging even years afterward, it's probably the lowest quality and least secure option here. Very easy to wash out, even accidentally with hand sanitizer.

4 is the supercar of the disposable pen world perhaps overshadowed only by the rare disposable fountain pen. Least likely to skip, by far. The specialized ink soaks into paper and becomes insoluble to water, alcohol and acetone once dried. Won't leak on an airplane like some pens. Problems include smearing wet ink and bleed-through. Smearing is mostly a skill issue for right-handed writers. Blotters are always an option, too. Bleed through is about paper quality and technique.

3 and 5. The gel ink on 3 is superb, and 5 is smooth, if not with a bit of friction.

#7, because it doesn't say I will be magically provided any pens, and that's the only style I know how to easily obtain. Which is important because I lose pens often.

As long as its ISO 12757-2 certified i dont care. But would be a hassle if not because if i cant use any other pencil i cant sign documents.

Like think 5 is an eraseable one and in case of 7 ive never seen some certification on the ink tube so they would be ruled out

1,4,5 or nothing.

I fuck with 1, 5 and 6 if they are 1mm. I don’t fuck with 0.7 pens.

2 if it's the same tip size I have at home but something else if it's thicker. My handwriting is not great so thin = more definition = better chance of reading whatever I scratched.
