Pens... there are so many! Some are free. Some are colorful. But, most of us, whether we admit it (or even know it) or not, have a "favorite" pen. My favorite is the Sharpie Pen. You can read a great review about it here.
What's your favorite pen? Why?
A sharpie eh? I started using fountain pens exclusively almost 2 years ago when I started to develop carpal tunnel. I typically like a fine point and the fountain pens come in any nib size you prefer. I recently became a fan of the cursive italic nib because it really improves the look of my handwriting.

ReplyDeleteI love Sharpie pens too, but my favorite pens are Sakura Microns because they are archival and resist everything from water to solvents. Awesome review of archival pens here:

I also love Staedtler Triplus Fineliners because the colors are awesome, but they are not archival. :(
When I'm out and about I use my Bic 4 color pens in classic colors (black/ blue/ red/ green) and Brights (see here: http://www.plannerisms.com/2010/12/bic-4-color-pen-in-fashion-colors.html) so that I have 8 colors available for all my color-coding on the go!
I know a lot of fountain-pen users but I've never tried one myself. They seem fiddly and honestly the effort would be wasted on me because my handwriting is shite. With nice penmanship a fountain pen is probably exquisite.
I meant to add that when I do a lot of writing (like in my journal or taking notes) I like to use a PaperMate refillable click ballpoint pen. I bought my first one in college because I remember Mom used them, and liked it so much I bought 3 more. I've been using those same four pens (refilled many times) for the past 20 years. This indicates two major things: 1) That I am Old, and 2) That after moving 26 times in 20 years and I've not lost these pens, I obviously really like them and use them all the time!! When I use a Filofax, one of these PaperMate ballpoints is in the pen loop.
ReplyDeleteA few pens I like are the Pilot G2 07, Liquid Flair (xfine), and the Pilot Precise Rolling ball (xfine). The Frixion by Pilot, erasable, is pretty f**king amazing. On my desk, I have limited myself to two pen holders - one of which is exclusively devoted to Sharpies. :) I could go on, obviously. I'm passionate about pens!
