Fountain pen master race

5

Number 7 100%

My husband works at an architecture firm. They exclusively use #2 in 3 different colors. My husband has gotten in the habit of putting a few in his pocket during the day while he works and emptying his pockets when he gets home. We have WAY TOO MANY PENS!!!! I've been bagging them up and giving them away!! They are nice pens tho... very good for drafting/drawing/etc. I just don't need 300 of them. Beware that the blue ones tend to explode the most.

1 but micro, not fine.

5 is the objectively correct answer here.

not pictured, but uniball eye micro was my goat for high school and college. I had to do british standardized exams in high school which required black pen (not pencil). these guys write super smoothly and create really nice lines, but they take a sec or two to dry so you gotta be careful not to smudge.

I think #1 in the pic is a thicker version of these

5

G2 forever.

Pilot G-2, Obviously. #5.

If 5 is the G2, then 5.

At school all the cool kids had these lol

or these

[I come from a very specific generation in French speaking switzerland, so this may not be relatable]

5, man I loved those pens when taking notes in college.

5. The Bic Pilot G2 in 1mm writes like butter. Glorious. $4.95 for a 4 pack.

This kind. I like the metal tip.

Another for 5

2, please.

2, the Pilot Precise, specifically a V5

Honestly those of us who've bought 1 or 2 already main those. I'll never by another pen, the writing quality of the Uniball is just superb. The plastic grip isn't uncomfortable like you'd think, and rubber grips tend to feel weird after lots of writing anyways. The build quality is top notch, as someone who's accidentally broken lots of pens. Just a great design

7 BIC or bust

5 for me

Zebra F301

Definitely 5, gimme that gel pen every time

The day I first gripped a #5, had there been clickbait thumbnails back then, mine would have read:
This Changes EVERYTHING!

Give me that smooth 5

Error: fountain pen not found

None of these are fountain pens, the obviously superior choice over ball-points.

Pilot G2 if I must, but the real answer is a Lamy Safari.

These are all terrible

7

Where is the fountain pen??

Pilot g2 if I had to choose but I'll stick with my rotring 600 with schmidt easyflow 9000 if it were up to me

Definitely 5, so much better than 99% of other pens.

this is left handed discrimination

5 forever!

None. Pens fucking suck. There are limited use cases for pens, which is basically none unless I am signing a contract.

For every single other use case I’d rather have a mechanical pencil.

1 is my choice pen. Always and forever. No other type kept up with me. I use a slightly different variant though.

1 and 2 look good but looks are deceiving. 5 and 7 all the way.

3, it's the best one I recognise

Pilot G2 and BIC are both classics, but I'm a sucker for a liquid ink pen
