- I don’t know why, I’ve just been using them my whole life, and they’re comfortable for me. The platonic ideal of Pen. Especially the blue medium.

Always
My beloved
Give me that smooth 5
As a shorthand writer I approve of this comment.
Pilot G-2, Obviously. #5.
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.
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.
Anyone saying anything but #7 is delulu. There’s a reason Bic won pens
These are all terrible

1 but micro, not fine.
This is the correct answer
Only answer for left handers!
Clear winner.
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]
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.
Germany too
Also Estonia, especially the erasable one
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.
Pilot G2 if I must, but the real answer is a Lamy Safari.
- Uniball.
5 is the objectively correct answer here.
Yeah, no contest at all.

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
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
#5 carried me through three degrees.
