5 for me
The day I first gripped a #5, had there been clickbait thumbnails back then, mine would have read:
This Changes EVERYTHING!
Definitely 5, gimme that gel pen every time
Error: fountain pen not found
Seriously. This is Lemmy, right? Shouldn't it be fountain pens, mechanical keyboard, Linux, and automatic watches?

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

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
Where is the fountain pen??
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.
Pencils are for those who lack conviction!

5 forever!
1 and 2 look good but looks are deceiving. 5 and 7 all the way.
I like 1 because it's thin and not a roller type. You only have to imagine writing and you're doing it. Rollers can be ok, and 5 is a decent example, but 1 used with a ruler for precise drawing, nothing beats that.

I would've agreed with you 13 years ago, but something changed with the pilot G2s. They went from S tier to B at best. Ironically, I've replaced them with 2 now. The Pilot Precision's have been my favorite for quite awhile now personally

1 is my choice pen. Always and forever. No other type kept up with me. I use a slightly different variant though.
1 & 2 top picks, then 6 & 7. The rubber sleeves are nice for short notes and whatnot. They get slippery from sweating eventually. Maybe just a me thing.

I have already chosen. And the one that I have chosen for life is not in this set.

I'd pick 7 if it's a Bic, but it's definitely n.3 because of the ergonomics
Pilot G2 and BIC are both classics, but I'm a sucker for a liquid ink pen
Okay. I’ve used all of these and 3 definitely writes the best and is the most comfortable, BUT, I’ve had more of these fail or explode halfway through a cartridge multiple times.
So I have to pick my good old 5 will carry me through battle and back and I’ll lose it long before it stops writing. Never had a bad time with a 5.
7 can burn in hell
Pentel ENERgel pens.
But if I had to choose, 2 or 5. I have 3 at work and while it is nice, I don't know if it has the same kind of staying power 2 or 5 do.

5 … but black and in .38
Pilot v5 always
Poor ignorant fools not knowing the F-701 and F-402 hack.
Enjoy your writing in poverty and discomfort, you will never know glory because you sought comfort in convenience and thrift instead of greatness at all costs.

Is there a difference between #1 and #2?
Please answer fast, I am sitting on the urinal.
2 or 5.
5 because it's convenient and a Swiss army knife of pens.
2 because sometimes you just gotta shank a bitch.
The Bic Cristal (number 7) all day long. They last forever, are dirt cheap and are the best selling pen in the world.

No zebra? Guess I’m never writing again.
I was always fond of how the 2 pen scratches the paper while writing.
