What is your favorite pen brand?

[elextra@literature.cafe]

TUL pens. Super durable as I click my pens from anxiety and I havent had one break on me. Write very smoothly too

I slept on the kaweco sport, but when I finally got one, it quickly became my everyday. I got a transparent body and fill the body directly with ink like an oil tanker ready to defile the ocean within my pocket, then lube the threads with petroleum jelly. Not a single leak.

Iconic style, affordable, ink lasts forever, one of the most reliable, smoothest gold bibs came with it, and it's comfortable to write with. I love that pen and wish I had as many chances to use it these days as I did in the past. Unfortunately, my writing at work is almost entirely digital now.

Parker, specifically the Jotter. I still have and use a stainless steel one that I bought in 1999 because I kept losing pens, and I thought that if I spent a little more on one I might take better care of it. It's my favorite by far.

Not the pen I was thinking of

[413j0@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Back when I constantly needed a pen I used to use a Parker espirit telescopic fountain pen, since it was the best small fountain pen that cost little enough that I wouldn't mind loosing, but it was still small enough and good enough for my tastes. More recently since I stopped needing an actual pen with any sort of frequency it just kept getting dry and I just decided to stop carrying one.

This days the only thing that I physically write with any sort of frequency are ttrpg character sheets and for those I just need a good pencil, so I moved to the wsd magnetic 2.0 mm lead holder. I just love it both as a great mechanical pencil and a fidget toy

Bic 4 colour ftw!

[beattakeshi@lemmy.world]

I bought myself this beauty a year ago, metal body and refillable

[tetris11@lemmy.ml]

I literally go to the bank to write my novel. The tellers are starting to suspect why I'm a depositing a single penny every ten minutes

[gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works]

Rotring. German company. Outstanding heft and quality. I like the 800, but if you prefer a click actuation to a twist, go for the 600.

[sam_bass@lemmy.ml]

Don't have an actual favorite. Just using bics forever due to convenience

[ph3ra@lemmy.ml]

I've been using 0.7 point Pentel Supremes since I began high school

[anon6789@lemmy.world]

Jetstream is my favorite all purpose ink. I got the refills to put in some of my other favorite pen bodies.

You have some tiny writing with that 0.28! I find 0.5 to be my happy place.

[hallettj@leminal.space]

I carry a Fisher Space Pen everywhere, but I switched its cartridge for Pilot Hi-Tec-C refills. It takes a little fiddling to get the refill in there, but once it's in it works great!

[adderbox76@lemmy.ca]

Zebra F-301

[hperrin@lemmy.ca]

Parker, usually. But Pilot is also good. Depends if I want a nice pen or a cheap pen. Kawecos are really nice, but I don’t currently own one.

[monkeymoomoo10@lemmy.world]

I'm surprised more people haven't said TUL!! they are, and have been, my daily for 6+ years. Got all sorts of colors too!

[ohvenus_baby@lemmy.ml]

OP asking the real questions! Also just ducking glad to see something not news or politics related. My gosh it's overwhelming today.

[ohvenus_baby@lemmy.ml]

Clickers are why my pants and pockets have ink all in them. Twist for life.

[ohvenus_baby@lemmy.ml]

I'm in the pen losing crowd. I can't tell if you guys are serious and I need a more expensive pen or not. 100 dollars is too rich for me though. But this logic sort of makes sense.

[jollyrogue@lemmy.ml]

Sharpie.
