      if it’s a true bic. knockoffs might not work very well.

      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 ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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.

      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.

    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.

      I assumed 1 was this one! Still the goat, still have 3 on my person at any given time.

      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.

      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.

    1. The Bic Pilot G2 in 1mm writes like butter. Glorious. $4.95 for a 4 pack.

    This kind. I like the metal tip.

    • CptEnder@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      I used to use these a lot before I discovered micro tipped pens, these are great ball point though.

      source
      • Peppycito@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

        I like that they mark on metal. And the tip is great for tracing rough edges and rulers.

      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.

    Another for 5

  • toxiczombie@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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

    source
    • Jesus_666@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      Seconded. As far as pens are concerned, Uniball is where it’s at.

    2, the Pilot Precise, specifically a V5

    • Kamikazimatt@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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 ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      I’d go for the Pilot Vball, but close enough.

    • tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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

  • Coreidan@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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 ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      I respectfully disagree, pencils are the devil’s implement, pens are for the superior writer.

      source
      • Grass@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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
