No zebra? Guess I’m never writing again.
3's grip looks the most comfy

7, easy spitball shooter

It’s 2 for me, always so reliable and write very clean

Is there a difference between #1 and #2?
Please answer fast, I am sitting on the urinal.

I once bought a pack of maybe 40 number 7 in all 4 colors, I am basically committed for life.
But these fuckers dry out if you don’t use them for a long time, I had to throw away a bunch. I tried receiving some by soaking them in Isopropyl alcohol, it worked for some but not all.

I’m lamenting the fact that this scenario means I’ve lost all my fountain pens, but I’d go with #5 in a .38

When I was a server, I only used Number 3, but it has to be the 0.5 size. 0.7 still smears too much.
Kichae@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
Probably 2, 6, or 7. I’ve always loved the V5/V7, but the liquid ink is messy, a bic is a classic for a reason, and the PaperMate flair has been my go-to felt-tip for a long time now. Though, the ultra-fine version is much better for writing than the medium one.
EvilBit@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
If 6 is the Papermate felt tip, then that one. I like the static tip. Otherwise, probably the upstart Sharpie.

Fountain pen master race
CherryBullets@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
The Japanese uni-ball pens are sweet, don’t think they are on this.
Fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks ago
Pretty sure both 1 and 2 are jp and good
CherryBullets@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
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.

Where is my Sakura 03 micron??? 🥲
Nalivai@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
3 or 5 was always my goto. That being said, I didn’t have to write anything by hand in the last 15 years, and I’m pretty much forgot how it’s done

7 all day. Bic for life
SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I love Bic but those particular ones have never done well for me.
Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
All of these suck.
A7thStone@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
What, no papermate inkjoy? Cheaper than G2s and they fit better in your hand, unless you are gripping it with clubs.
carpelbridgesyndrome@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
I have an entire note taking program calibrated around the ink colors of 5. I kinda dug myself that grave though. They are at least decent pens.
Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 weeks ago
The good ol’ BIC G2. Phat fucking lines, I’ve never had one clog, they’re comfortable to hold and fun to take apart and put back together again while you pretend it’s a gun.
kat_angstrom@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Another vote for 5, 0.7
Like those Zebra Sarasas, the blue ones are perfect
5in1k@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
Pilot G-Knock 1.0. G2 barring that.
TheOakTree@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
The real solution is to find a parker compatible chassis that has the right shape, feel, and weight for your preferences. Then simply buy parker refills of your choice. Energel .5 is pretty great :)
PillBugTheGreat@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
#5, but you tear off the clip. EVERY TIME.
Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
I do that with sharpies so I can get them in and out of my back pocket easily.
InFerNo@lemmy.ml 3 weeks ago
I use a Lamy Studio to write, so close to a 6.
Also in my arsenal is a Parker Jotter and a Moonman C1.

- Fisher space pen
I keep one at my desk and have one in my pocket (most of the time).
lightnsfw@reddthat.com 3 weeks ago
I’ve had the bullet version on me at all times for the last decade or so. Fits in my coin pocket of my jeans perfectly.

gon@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
- It’s basically the only kind of pen I use anyway.
Delphia@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Give me a clicky pen or give me death!
