5

I would pick 3 but I don't think its ball point and I have trouble controlling the strength when I press down on the paper.

I'd pick 7 if it's a Bic, but it's definitely n.3 because of the ergonomics

1 & 2 top picks, then 6 & 7. The rubber sleeves are nice for short notes and whatnot. They get slippery from sweating eventually. Maybe just a me thing.

If I HAVE to use a ballpoint, it's going to have to be a rollerball. Like the Uniball. But really, I'd take just about any fountain pen over any of them.

I write a lot (I am professor) and pilot g-2 (#5) is the way to go. Don't be fooled by sharpie's grip, I just finished a box of that model in red ink and g-2 is way better.

Okay. I’ve used all of these and 3 definitely writes the best and is the most comfortable, BUT, I’ve had more of these fail or explode halfway through a cartridge multiple times.

So I have to pick my good old 5 will carry me through battle and back and I’ll lose it long before it stops writing. Never had a bad time with a 5.

7 can burn in hell

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

I dont see any on here I would swear by.

I have taken a liking to the Pilot B2Ps, they are made of recycled water bottles, I liked them simply for the fact that they're the one type of pen we have in abundance at the office that no one else bothers to steal for some reason.

I like the Staples TRU RED series too.

what the hell is wrong with me, a year ago I'd be obsessing over some video game or hobby and now im discussing my pen model preferences, I think I've crossed the proto-boomer threshold

Pentel ENERgel pens.

But if I had to choose, 2 or 5. I have 3 at work and while it is nice, I don't know if it has the same kind of staying power 2 or 5 do.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Show me the fucking feather

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Jetstream 0.5. Probably 5 is the closest. I still have a box of 2 floating around.

Is there a difference between #1 and #2?

Please answer fast, I am sitting on the urinal.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

2 or 5.

5 because it's convenient and a Swiss army knife of pens.

2 because sometimes you just gotta shank a bitch.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

They are in the order I would select, rather fortuitously.

anyone voting G2 hasn't used one recently, or hasn't used literally any other pens in that time. I think the G2 is the absolute worst one on the list. At least the bic doesn't pretend to be able to write very well.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

No zebra? Guess I’m never writing again.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Poor ignorant fools not knowing the F-701 and F-402 hack.

Enjoy your writing in poverty and discomfort, you will never know glory because you sought comfort in convenience and thrift instead of greatness at all costs.

Does a mechanical pencil count?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

I was always fond of how the 2 pen scratches the paper while writing.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

The Bic Cristal (number 7) all day long. They last forever, are dirt cheap and are the best selling pen in the world.
