I’ve really been into pens with multiple colors for different tasks :) I use the Pilot 4 Colors Frixion at work, but use a Sarasa Multi or Pentel Vicuña C4 for other notes and sketching :) the classic Bic multi is also a personal favorite.
Mannn, i love pens too!! I love ur vid! It's really cute that u feel open to exposing what you like most, it takes a lot of self-confidence, and that's good! Seeing you excitedly talking about your pens made my day better!! I also love writing, someday I would like to be a writer and designer, anyways, good luck with ur life! Take care!!
Ballpoint pen user here. Basic BIC 4-color and Cristal are both fine. My favorite is Ballograf Epoca. I like the way ballpoints dent the paper and make it crinkle (esp Mead 5-Star paper). 😊
Lamy is kind of like the gateway drug. If you get hooked, then you will try a Waterman, TWSBI, Monteverde, Sailor, Montblanc. Sometimes it even turns back to the Lamy as in Lamy 2000 that I had delivered to me by 'accident'. Then there is the ink. Soon you will have syringes hidden in your drawer, special inks that look a lot like blood, and become that pen snob because no one else understands and looks at you funny. Fine paper is imported regularly, stacks of really, really expensive paper is stacking up. My wife is looking up twelve step programs for me. It all started with a Lamy Safari
I have gotten into pens lately as well. I agree on the Zebra Sarasa pen. Very smooth pen and a joy to write with. Still haven't pulled the trigger on a fountain pen, seems like a little too much work.
Yes those Sarasa pens are amazing I just bought a 0.7 in navy blue that is perfection. You could always try out a disposable fountain pen like the Pilot Varsity to see if you like the feel. Good luck with your writing!!
Some of my favorite pens are the pilot precise V5 RT, but the the writing point is so fine that if you drop them they’re basically useless cause they get all bent out of shape. My other favorite is the Sakura ballsign id, i don’t think people realize how cathartic writing can be with a decent pen.
Yeah the precise V5 is a solid pen for sure. I may need to pick up a couple in blue soon and add the Sakura ballsign to the list. I 100% agree on how cathartic writing with a decent pen can be specifically cause so much of our day is on a screen
@samjcomedy my personal favorite is a Pelikan M800. Big ink capacity, smooth nib. Not exactly a starter pen. The TWSBI Diamond 580 ALR pens write at least 3x higher than their price point.
Can a pen make you feel more creative?? I would agree. Can a posh pen make you a better writer in the same way having a posh car makes you drive better?? Sadly i do not agree. If you're a good writer it doesn't matter what pen you have.😊

Somehow I knew the G2 was just gonna make an entrance!!!!!!
Yeah you can't keep the G2 down its a solid workhorse pen

A tale as old as time but consider this your support group and motivation to keep buying new pens and notebooks haha #penpal

My favorite pen used to be the pentel energel, but i recently tried the uni jetstream and i can't decide which is better!
Oh thats a tough decision those are both great pens!!
