Ask HN: Favourite Pen

6 points by helij ↗ HN
Which pen do you find really smooth for writing notes. I remember a few years ago I had a pen that was really smooth and also made my writing semi-decent. Whatever I try these days is different. Don't want to say not good. Before venturing into buying a dozen different pens to test I welcome any suggestions.

I got a nice wooden Wordsworth fountain pen off Amazon last year. It was fun for a bit.

Uniball Vision Elite Micro. I buy them on Amazon in 12 packs.

I like the 0.8mm bold point personally. Very smooth writing. Awesome pens.

I love my 0.7mm Zebra Sarasa Clips (dark blue). I buy the refills to put in other pens. The ink dries nearly instantly. Not fancy, but a great workhorse pen.

I like fineliners for everyday use and opt for Sakura Pigma Micron #05s. They're quite reasonably priced and are very enjoyable to write with!

Zebra F-701 Stainless Steel with a Fischer space pen refill

the refill costs more than the original pen

My go to pen these days is the ubiquitous Pilot Precise V5.
