Do You Have a Favourite Pen?

[Jimmu]

Nowadays people are writing less than ever with the wide availability of tech but for those of us who do still do some physical writing do you have a favourite pen?

Personally, I really love to use Stabilo Point 88 pens. They're super comfortable to write with, they have vivid colour on the page, and they feel really nice for writing Kanji compared to regular ballpoint pens. Highly recommend.

I personally hate stabillos for no good reason lol
Pilot pens though? Specially their ballpoint ones? Like a Pilot BP-S Ballpoint Pen Fine? Now that's my ****, good grip and comfortable and SMOOTH writing and never had issues with ink drying/not coming out

would recommend for any student

I love the Fisher Space Pen. I like their relatively retro design and the fact that they work in very extreme environments, mine is based upon the model used by the astronauts of Apollo 11. I even remember using it senior year of high school and a classmate of mine asked me if that was a Fisher Space Pen, of course I had to say to him that it was.

Oh I thought you meant like a lucky pen, for a second...

For a general type of pen, I like Sharpie pens. They're like normal fine tip Sharpie markers, but made to function more as a pen, with a more pen-like tip and without the bleed. They also double well for art purposes, so I have one designated with my art stuff. Fine and medium point are fine, I'm not particularly picky about my pen tips, so long as they write smoothly.

For pencils, I like standard Bic .9mm mechanical pencils. Been with my school supplies since middle school and I also use them for art. I don't really have a reason for liking .9mm lead except when I first learned it was a thing as a kid, I thought it was extremely novel, and therefore it was cool.

Depends on what I plan to do with the pen. If I'm just writing any pen that is readily available is fine and I've always kind of had that mindset, so I never formed a "favorite" kind of pen.

If I'm drawing though I would prefer any fine point pen that gives me good control.

At work we have these colorful fine point pens that also have a marker on one end, and I have to resist the urge to just go crazy doing art, lol.

I found one of those 4 color pens when I was working at Lowe's and all 4 colors work, even now like 4 years later. I don't have an issue finding a pen where I work now so it stays in my purse for use outside of work instead.

I usually stick to using black Papermate pens. They write pretty clearly without smudging, so I favor them.

I don't know if I have a preferred brand, but those thin tipped gel pens. The thin, crisp line they leave just feels nice.
