3's grip looks the most comfy

Always

My beloved

Only valid answer

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.

Ahhh Bic, where it's 2 main products are also the most stolen products.

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.

This is the correct answer

Clear winner.

Only answer for left handers!

Yeah, no contest at all.

It's probably the choice I would have to go with, but when I was working with full boxes a lot, I started caring more about which pens were sturdy sharp enough to stab through tape and drag through it 50 times an hour and not end up looking at the end of your pen and find out the tip ripped off. Switching to a box knife over and over slows you down a lot and I needed the pen to cross out and document what was missing from the orders. Pens with caps are a pain for that as well, waste time.

I probably should have tried to find something like this: https://atechgo.com/products/multitool-pen-9-in-1-box-cutter?variant=31317899149448&srsltid=AfmBOorxxFa__k_qsBl8iPIi6kKPJc6A4Ah6nJ8WZ7gm3JZhWGj1qBZ_1AY

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

Edit

uni-Flow Ink System ensures a consistent, delightfully fluid writing experience

Is what they say

Germany too

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.

I wish they sold cheap refills for the 4-pens but when I looked I could only find ones around the same cost as a new pen.

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.

The price and quality are so hard to beat.

And respective mechanical pencil!

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

The apex pen.

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.

This was the only pen I could use as a left handed writer that wouldn’t leave any ink on my hand.

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

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

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

Seriously. This is Lemmy, right? Shouldn't it be fountain pens, mechanical keyboard, Linux, and automatic watches?

As a lefty i can confidently say youre wrong as fuck

The only option. I'm 43 and still using the one from middle school.

Scrolled far too long to find even a mention of Zebra. Uniball is the intro to good pens, but Zebra is where you land.

Was looking for this. I love my pink barrel F-301’s.

Definitely this one. Simple design and the fine point is so smooth to write with

As a shorthand writer I approve of this comment.

Hear, hear!

Platinum Preppy. Cheap and cheerful with the capability of taking a converter, different nips, and being converted into a refillable marker. Amazingly versatile pen.

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

Pencils are for those who lack conviction!

I am a fellow mechanical pencil enjoyer. GraphGear for life, but I have been having an affair with the Ohto MS01. All in 0.3 because it forces me to have good hand writing.

Out of fascination how is a left handed pen different? I just grabbed mine and it looks pretty symmetrical. I get the whole ink on hands thing but the meme didn't say you couldn't use a pencil or type anymore.

which one?

As it should be!

Thank you, I agree.

Surprised I had to scroll down so far to find 3, it's just the same as 5 but with better grip around the finger tips, which avoids the pen from twisting when you hold it tightly.

I like 1 because it's thin and not a roller type. You only have to imagine writing and you're doing it. Rollers can be ok, and 5 is a decent example, but 1 used with a ruler for precise drawing, nothing beats that.

I would've agreed with you 13 years ago, but something changed with the pilot G2s. They went from S tier to B at best. Ironically, I've replaced them with 2 now. The Pilot Precision's have been my favorite for quite awhile now personally

I used 5 once and I ended up buying a pack of 10 as they were so good to write with.

Damn, pen so out of shape that he's sweating.

Don’t leave us hanging! What is it?!

Pilot g2 is the way to go

Hear, hear!

A Lemmy of culture I see. Love the Visconti.

Edit : Just noticed the stealth VP over on the right.

"Charlie, ever played roulette?"
