      Fast and cursive. I'm also heavyhanded and only use a lighter hand when I'm doing calligraphy
      I mostly use fine-tipped Japanese gel pens, but my favourite pen is the Stabilo .88

      my handwriting is really fast and round and i press down a lot, leading to hand cramps often when i take tests for history or english, that involve a lot of fast writing. I use a pentel energel 0.7 when i write, because skinny lines make my handwriting look more messy and feels a little scratchy sometimes.... and the barrel is super comfy and the ink is so smooth that it reduces hand cramping a lot.

      I rarely use any of the types of pens in this video, as they all tend to hurt to write with, after a few sentences. So, it's fountain pens for me. With the right combination of pen and ink, there's very little I can't write on with a fountain pen.
      Size of the nib determines how I actually write. The finer the nib, the smaller my writing.
      If I need my writing to dry quickly, iron gall ink. I also have inks that can take days to dry, and they're not the "usual suspects" of high sheening.
      After dealing with the pain from other pens, I've kind of found combinations that let me write in almost all situations I need to, and usually use a fountain pen. 😉

      Do you have any suggestion for small, type style and fast handwritings? I use the Pentel iPlus with 0.5 refils from the Coleto model (mainly Slicci and Energel units), but it's becoming really hard to find them and 0.5 gel pens are hard to find in my country (Brazil). Can you syggest some Pilot, Faber Castel or Uni pens?

    I change my writing style a lot, depending on what I am writing, notes, lists etc. But I finally found a pen I love after years of trying new ones. Zebra F-301 Ballpoint Pen, Stainless Steel. I have bought about 8 of these as I didn't want to run out. Smooth, nice weight, thin barrel. Just wonderful. All my other pens are now hiding in a tub ... I may use them again.

    This is incredibly liberating to learn that I can in fact calibrate my writing experience by choosing the right pen. Not sure if it is the same around the world, but where I grew up, we never even had a concept of “choosing a pen”. It was either you manage, or your tiny child hands are not skilled enough and you need to try harder (with whatever pen you found around the house or whatever was the cheapest at the store of course). It never even crossed my mind that writing can be made much less frustrating. I’ll be a conscious pen buyer now :’)

      I'm right-handed, but my position is sooo weird that it has affected all 3 of my last fingers! I also keep on smudging the work as I have my pinky above where I'm writing so now I look for left-handie pens but the one I'm now using (Zebra Sarasa 0.7mm) runs out too quickly to keep up with the long writing work I do every day! One pen usually lasts like 2 weeks and then they're just not smooth at one point, where it's scratchy enough for me to switch to the 4 in-one BIC rollerball, which I HATE SO MUCH because it has this greyish colour and it isn't blank and dark like the zebra I'm used to. I love the zebra, but this time I'll go for the 0.5 zebra to save some ink maybe because they cost quite a lot if you buy a new pack every 3 weeks... I'll end up paying thousands a month in the future if I don't find another pen, so does anyone have a quick-drying (not necessarily for lefties, just something that isn't purely liquid to be smudged around the entire page with one swipe) pen that has a dark colour, not like the Pilot erasable pens but a pen that has a darker colour than printed paper! I've got print writing and I take loads of space to write. I had a Pilot G2 but I never wanted to use it because I kept on going back to work and smudging the entire page out. I like the Uniball Eye 0.5 but it smudges, but I don't think It'll affect me as much as the G2 did. So I think I'd rather have a look at other pens!

      Totally agree about swapping refills and bodies, I put Uni-ball Signo or Energel refills in nice rollerball bodies because they work better than the cheap included refills. The only thing I’ve found so far that reduces how much my hand cramps is the Twsbi Eco T fountain pen. I don’t have to press hard at all and the fine nib gives me good dry times with no bleed through.

    JetPens really out here telling me there are .25mm pen tips!! I might just have to buy some!
    I tend to use a .38 Pilot G-2 or .3 Pentel EnerGel when writing in Japanese (otherwise I can’t write legible kanji in the size I wanna write…) but prefer thicker, juicier pens for English (although I guess that’s completely relative, because I’ve been using a Pilot Precise V5 lately, which is still technically considered “extra fine”)

    • @heathergleiser
      @heathergleiser 3 года назад +2

      I used to write with only .25mm Micron pens but the tips are pretty delicate, I broke a few over the years before switching to the same size you mentioned for the Energel. Still, for things like kanji or Hangul they would be great!

  • @titoizdaman3
    @titoizdaman3 2 года назад +1

    For personal notes and studying, I've been using the Uni-Ball 207 Impact Gel Pen. They claim to use a hybrid of liquid-gel for the ink, and the tip is 1.0 mm. It writes like a dream IMO. The trouble is, over time, some of the pens begin to slightly skip which I find incredibly annoying. I might give the Pentel Gel ink pens a chance based on the video and comments here. I hate using pure liquid ink as it smudges easy.
    For notes I take at work, I have been using the PILOT Precise V5 Stick Liquid Ink Rolling Ball. It is a liquid ink pen and it probably uses a 0.5 mm tip. It also writes great and never ever skips. My issue with them is that liquid inks don't dry fast and smudge badly if the paper gets wet after you write with them. I love Gel inks as they write really smooth, dry faster, and smudge less, I just hate the skipping at times...

    i discovered sarasa pens about 4-5 years ago, and since then, their 0.5s have been the only pens i use. it's the perfect smoothness for me, while still having the slightest bit of comfortable friction so that i don't feel like my pen is sliding all over the paper, especially because my handwriting can get a bit big and loopy if i'm writing fast.
