Do you prefer any kind of pen in particular? I'm trying to find a favorite pen and just got these to see if they work for me.

I don't have nice enough penmenship to do that tool any service.
uniball signo UM-151 0.38mm
I hated pens before I bought one
>>8641561
ooh these look nice
>>8641567
They might glide a little if you're not used to gel pens but you get used to it quickly
Writing with a disposable pen is basically admitting your taste, your family, and your own life are valueless and better off in a garbage bin.
>>8641572
dude wtf.
that's harsh
>>8641575
no it isn't
My thoughts go faster than my pen, and so my writing is so horrible, gel pens become illegible. Ball points tear the page, so they are out.
Shit, I've even had to go to graph paper because I can't keep a strait line.
I've been trying out these uniball vision elites but I am not happy..
Without typing and spellcheck, I would never know what I had written.
>>8641572
By writing with a disposable tool, one admits to being himself disposable and as a direct consequence, his writing.
Average German fountain pens (right hand), Japanese Sakura felt tip pen (left hand)

damn.. nice

Nah, some of them are just awesome as last a long time. I got a pack of three pens at wal-mart, I was looking for disposable shit pens because those 500 plus pens are ridiculous and I didn't want to fuck with ink.
3 pens, sealed ink ballpoint pens made in glorious nippon. It was six buck. I have 50 journal entry pages doing a page a day and I'm still on my first pen. It writes fluidly, doesn't leak, never dries out, gets more ink on the page if you press harder so you can get a different style, and can write upside down.
The only reason I would ever buy an expensive pen now is if I wanted to wear it to increase my status. I bet there is something better out there, but I haven't tried it yet and this is basically perfect compared to the shitty dollar store ballpoints I'm used to and doesn't have the annoying parts of pencil usage.
Papermate Flair. Best writing tool in existence

You suggest that it's best to self-flagellate with a diminished experience, writing using garbage pens, when it's the quality of your time that matters most, not longevity. You give up both with these cheap, horrible ball points.
As if refillable pens are any more permanent than anything else.

ive used the uniball signo exclusively for 7 years

I love Uni ball version elites. Although if you have shit handwriting they may not be a great idea as the flow tends to connect nearby letters, which I don't mind.
I've got a parker fountain pen, and other than that I use sometimes pencils or whatever pens I have in the moment
PLEASE give me tips on how to write fast without making mistakes. I need to be able to write really fast in the next few weeks

the cool thing about the pilot ultra fine marker was that I could get them at the hardware store for cheap by a 30 ct box, plus ink refills for $1.50
>>8641517
Schneider or Rotring because I'm not a pleb.
OP here, these pens seem to be pretty nice. They are working with me and are not leaky so I don't get smeared writing and my words don't bleed into each other.
There are pen threads on /g/ sometimes.
The Lamy Safari is the most recommended pen of /g/, because it is robust and reliable and comfortable at a reasonable price.
>>8641620
lmfao
Truly, the most godly writers use nothing but the fabled golden fountain pen to service their papers.
Duh, the Bic Ultra Round Stic Grip
lamy safari and pilot metropolitan and both fantastic pens for the price. I currently use a metropolitan and it's so great. up until I dabbled in fountain pens i used the pilot gel pens and I liked them a lot and wondered if there was a step up from the G2s, which led to my discovery of fountain pens
>bitching about disposable pens
>forgets paper degrades quickly
Bic Crystal, black, blue, or red. Suck on it.
Have you joined the pen fifteen club?
>>8641517
BICs are god tier pens desu senpai

I've found the Pentel R.S.V.P fine points to be the best pen on my shoestring pen budget. I've only bought maybe 6 packs at most in my run of using them, about 5 or 6 years now.
There's occasionally smudging issues because I write left-handed, but that seems to be an issue with most if not all pens in the same price point. They're super easy to find, fairly cheap, and can last for a crazy amount of time (I mostly had to buy new packs because I kept losing them, rather than the ink drying out).
I can't be bothered to spend more than a dollar or three on pens, mind you. I'm sure there are far better pens quality wise.
>>8642199
v5 precise is the pen of pens
>>8644577
fucking disgusting honestly
>>8644470
But /g/ doesn't even write...
the only ink to use
>>8648185
that's pretty gay, dude
pic related is my current favorite. Very smooth and effortless writing, the ink is always perfect.

Loved those in high school, they wrote effortlessly but would sometimes blot easily.

the russian space pen

>>8648795
That story is bullshit and you know it.
>>8641517
The best pen is the one that you actually use.
>>8648914
you /p/ bro?
>>8648875
Still a funny story. Then again free floating graphite in a zero gravity environment with sensitive electronics is a far bigger problem then dried up ballpoints.
>>8641536
Yeah, I also don't want to spend $30 on a pen then spend more money on ink.
My only pen of specific note. Other than this, I basically use whatever's on hand.
