These days I use a pen maybe once a month. I've probably used some of these, I vaguely recognize 1 and 7. I use pens so rarely that I don't really have a preference. I guess if one of them is best for avoiding dried-up ink, that's the one?

It can't just be me, right? I don't use pencils either. I use keyboards, either virtual or physical. Other people must also do virtually all their writing electronically.

To me this is like choosing your favourite buggy whip.

Another for 5

I have already chosen. And the one that I have chosen for life is not in this set.

5 is the objectively correct answer here.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah, no contest at all.

5, man I loved those pens when taking notes in college.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 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 :)

5 … but black and in .38

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

#5, but you tear off the clip. EVERY TIME.

No fountain pens?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

2, the Pilot Precise, specifically a V5

[–] [email protected] 1 points 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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

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

I don't know the difference between 1 and 2, so I'm going to go with 2. 7 in some instances though. Never 6. Fuck 6.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

No skilcraft government pen?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (4 children)

At school all the cool kids had these lol

or these

[I come from a very specific generation in French speaking switzerland, so this may not be relatable]

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.

Is there a difference between #1 and #2?

Please answer fast, I am sitting on the urinal.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 weeks ago

I guess 3. Any of these pens would dry up as soon as I touch it. Graphgear 500 0.9mm drafting pencil for life.

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

I'm the only one going for #4? It's a uni ball vision elite, and I have about ten refills right now. Have had that barrel for the last fifteen or so years.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

Such a great pen. The ink flows so smoothly!

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

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 think #1 in the pic is a thicker version of these

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago

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