if it’s a true bic. knockoffs might not work very well.
FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 weeks ago
I used to live quite near to one of the bic factories in France. Ahhhh I’m obsessed with Bic pens.

My husband works at an architecture firm. They exclusively use #2 in 3 different colors. My husband has gotten in the habit of putting a few in his pocket during the day while he works and emptying his pockets when he gets home. We have WAY TOO MANY PENS!!! I’ve been bagging them up and giving them away!! They are nice pens tho… very good for drafting/drawing/etc. I just don’t need 300 of them. Beware that the blue ones tend to explode the most.
GoodLuckToFriends@lemmy.today 4 weeks ago
Oh my god, the explosions with the black ones are horrible, because you don’t realize until you start to grip and the ink just coats your fingers. I love them, but the horror will live forever in my mind.
skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
I had a pen like that when I was very young, had to be maybe in the 5th grade. It exploded on me because I chewed on the end of it while thinking. Parts of my homework desk remained blue until I graduated high school, I’m lucky my teeth didn’t also.

1 but micro, not fine.
Godort@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
This is the correct answer

Only answer for left handers!
podperson@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
Clear winner.

not pictured, but uniball eye micro was my goat for high school and college. I had to do british standardized exams in high school which required black pen (not pencil). these guys write super smoothly and create really nice lines, but they take a sec or two to dry so you gotta be careful not to smudge.

Coldcell@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
I assumed 1 was this one! Still the goat, still have 3 on my person at any given time.

Why does half the ink leak into the grip though

G2 forever.
captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
Pilot G-2, Obviously. #5.

If 5 is the G2, then 5.

I can only write with friction now, I have ADHD and I often skip letters when writing words so I always have to erase the letter I just wrote. If I’m not using friction it looks horrible

When I taught tertiary anatomy to sports science students. The school’s stationary cabinet was a box of lost pens that the cleaners added to. The school wasn’t great. Rather than buy new pens, we were to take from the box. I knew I wasn’t being renewed next year so I came in on the holidays and took every four pen in that box. About fifteen of them. It’s seen me good for for pens for about 13 years now. I still have a bunch kicking around. Mostly green/red left, but I use those to mark my ToDo lists with completed and delayed entries.
Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Ooh, Pilot Frixion, I like those. I did not expect myself to ever be able to get excited about pens, yet here I am.
I love lending out Frixion Clickers out to my DnD friends and seeing them struggle with the click before they realise that the pocket clip is the thing that goes click.
FeatherConstrictor@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
5, man I loved those pens when taking notes in college.
NoSpiritAnimal@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
- The Bic Pilot G2 in 1mm writes like butter. Glorious. $4.95 for a 4 pack.
livingcoder@programming.dev 4 weeks ago
The price and quality are so hard to beat.
Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
CptEnder@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I used to use these a lot before I discovered micro tipped pens, these are great ball point though.
Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
I like that they mark on metal. And the tip is great for tracing rough edges and rulers.
TheFrogThatFlies@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
And respective mechanical pencil!
HarmBasket@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
The apex pen.
Samskara@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
7 BIC or bust
TheBrideWoreCrimson@sopuli.xyz 4 weeks ago
7 is the the type of pen that lasts me the longest. They seem indestructible. All other types disintegrate in my hands after a year or so.
Structure7528@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
Another for 5
toxiczombie@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
Honestly those of us who’ve bought 1 or 2 already main those. I’ll never by another pen, the writing quality of the Uniball is just superb. The plastic grip isn’t uncomfortable like you’d think, and rubber grips tend to feel weird after lots of writing anyways. The build quality is top notch, as someone who’s accidentally broken lots of pens. Just a great design
Jesus_666@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Seconded. As far as pens are concerned, Uniball is where it’s at.
JandroDelSol@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
2, the Pilot Precise, specifically a V5
Kamikazimatt@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
This was the only pen I could use as a left handed writer that wouldn’t leave any ink on my hand.
Dop@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I’d go for the Pilot Vball, but close enough.
tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 4 weeks ago
Have you used one recently? I used to love those but they don’t work as well as I remember when I’ve tried them in the past few years
sloppychops@lemmy.ca 4 weeks ago
2, please.
Captain_J@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
5 for me
Coreidan@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
None. Pens fucking suck. There are limited use cases for pens, which is basically none unless I am signing a contract.
For every single other use case I’d rather have a mechanical pencil.
TemplaerDude@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
I respectfully disagree, pencils are the devil’s implement, pens are for the superior writer.
Grass@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
pens can’t even write more than a couple letters on a wall and even less on an overhead surface. imagine my absolute disappointment when I built a custom over bed upside down desk only for my pen collection to be unusable
pineapplelover@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
Since having to write so many notes in school, I’ve preferred pens.
Coreidan@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Your assessment is nonsense but ok

Pencils are for those who lack conviction!

Error: fountain pen not found
roguetrick@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Seriously. This is Lemmy, right? Shouldn’t it be fountain pens, mechanical keyboard, Linux, and automatic watches?
dumblederp@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
If you’re not using a Uni kuru toga rotating lead pencil are you even living?

How did you not manage to lose that
helloworld55@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
Definitely this one. Simple design and the fine point is so smooth to write with
SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 weeks ago
Was looking for this. I love my pink barrel F-301’s.

The day I first gripped a #5, had there been clickbait thumbnails back then, mine would have read:
This Changes EVERYTHING!KeraKali@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Definitely 5, gimme that gel pen every time
frezik@midwest.social 4 weeks ago
Pilot G2 if I must, but the real answer is a Lamy Safari.
Valmond@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Where is the fountain pen??
Redex68@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Definitely 5, so much better than 99% of other pens.
pineapplelover@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
Pilot g2 if I had to choose but I’ll stick with my rotring 600 with schmidt easyflow 9000 if it were up to me
