    It's a fountain pen all the time for me, for 2 reasons. Firstly, they're the only type I've found that don't hurt me to write with. Secondly, I've loved fountain pens since before they became "cool" again. My first and a perennial favourite is one that you couldn't have given away when I got my first one, a grey double jewel Esterbrook J from the early 1950s. Inks? Kind of depends. I have a variety and range. From 1930s Carter's washable blue through Colorverse Stars and Stripes Glistening, with big stops in Diamine and Noodler's. Currently I have more than what I can probably use in my lifetime. 😁 Balances out, though. I have over a hundred pens currently.

    I use gel pens everyday during the week while at the office; I like to have a variety of ink color and a smooth writing experience. I could get the same with my fountain pens, but I don't usually take them to work. I use gel, ballpoint, rollerball, and fountain pens during the weekend, during my leisure time, and what I choose to write with depends on my purpose for writing. If I'm writing study notes, I always use ballpoint ink, usually Uni Jetstream or Pilot Acroball. More than likely I'll be highlighting over study notes and ballpoints work the best. If I'm writing anything else and don't plan to highlight, I'll grab a gel, rollerball, or fountain pen. What I write with always depends on my mood, where I'm at, and my purpose for writing. This is an excellent video. Thank you!

It doesn't clog my pen, ever (and I'm using an extra fine) and goes down rich and smooth. The right pen for me depends on my mood and the surface I'm writing on.

    Omg Steph, you nailed the VO! I learned so much from this video! Loved it! It had many pre-written guides formatted into one video and I am very grateful for it. Now that I know fountain pens reduce hand strain… I am getting too close to the rabbit hole lol Ooh! Can you do one about erasers, too? From the terrible pink ones that leave residue to Hi-Polymer to foam and light touch, dust-gathering, etc? And maybe why it’s important to choose an external eraser than the one on the back of mechanical or wooden pencils. During school, I had that exact ballpoint pen in the video lolol and random mechanical pencils and I came to hate 0.7mm because they smudged so bad. When I started to draw, I got nicer ones. Now that I have been journaling and Bullet Journaling the past few years, I have become more intentional and very selective of my pens. So much research I can share now thanks to Jetpens articles and guides! When I was younger, I was exposed to those milky gel pens from Sakura. As an adult, I found Uniball Signo 207 and loved that purple color, but I did not like the 0.7mm tip size. Now I like Pentel EnerGel in 0.5mm because they come in many different colors, have refills and beautiful pen bodies (Clena and Pearl and now Kuro), and are easy on my hands. To save ink, I started to get Staedler Triplus fineliners and really like them for the 0.3mm tip size and making graphs and trackers. I gifted my Mom a Uni Jetstream, but I use it sometimes, too. I didn’t like Sakura Microns or Prismacolor fine liners for writing, but they are good for line art and drawing. Point is, you really gotta try some out to find what you like and what works for you!

    I have quite a few favorites, but I do use gel pens the most. Especially Zebra Sarasa vintage colors! And Pentel Energel for a smooth inkflow. I do love how fountain pens feel when writing (nostalgic and comforting), but I tend to write fast and can't always wait for the wet fountain inks to dry. My Pilot Kakuno writes very fine, so the dry time isn't too bad - though it depends on the paper, too. Thankfully, I have many options and choose based on my mood that day and what I'm writing about. :)

    My Fountain pen of choice currently is a Visconti 21 karat fine gold nib. Accompanied with Diamine Oxford Blue ink. I find the pen of high quality. It offers no feedback, and makes the whole process of writing script effortless. It makes one think there writing on a surface smoother than glass. I also use a separate shade of blue when signing my signature or autographing my “ works” . This affords me the advantage of knowing if my signature is authentic. When I see it on materials that I have produced creatively. Most all Authors Autograph books and, other pharaphnallia using a specific shade of a Color of ink. This cuts down on forgeries and, piracy concerns.

    It varies depending on what kind of paper I'm using and what kind of writing I'm doing. I tend to flip mostly between fountain pens and ballpoints.

    I like a mixture of different pens for different jobs. But my go to pen is the Pentel one. It’s small tip is perfect for me as I’m a messy writer also it drys so quickly and doesn’t leave my paper looking like a spider has fallen in an inkwell. I do also like to use a fountain pen with purple ink. It’s a throwaway one but I can’t remember what kind.

    Funny enough, I just bought a bottle of Nostalgia ink, the Sierra Mist color. It's holding up well against my highlighters and I love the color. My daily pens are a pair of Fountain pens (different inks), but my go-to for anything they won't write on is a .38mm Uni-ball One gel pen.

    My favorite is fountain pens. Got started with Noodlers' (Aircorps, Heart of Darkness, Blue Ghost, Dark Matter, 54th Mass), then got a small pile of shimmering inks (that clog my EF nibs! ;.;) from varying manufacturers (J. Herbin Bleu Ocean, Dominant Industry Lapis Lazuli, Colorverse Cat), grabbed a Diamine Twilight not long ago, and Colorverse Quasar. Pens include two Twsbi Ecos, a penbbs 494, a Hongdian Black Forest, a Platinum Preppy, (all EF), Pilot Petit1 (F), a box of Arteza disposables (M), a couple Moonmans (C1, T1, both F), and a pile of cheaper generic and/or knockoff pens (EF and F). Close second place is shared between gel pens and low-viscosity ballpoints. Gel pens were my gateway to good stationery when I found one lost on the floor in school, and my Jetstream Alphagel has enlightened me to low-viscosity ballpoints. Last but not least are the workhorse standard ballpoint. While standard ones aren't as enjoyable to write with as the above, I respect that they work in situations that gels and fountains don't. Plus my beloved Rotring Quattro takes D1s, and D1 Gel probably runs out even faster than an International Short cartridge or converter....

    I feel like I'm at a turning point in my life or something, haha. I've always used ballpoint pens, or just whatever was the cheapest at the time. I journal long-form, and my hands hurt like mad after each writing session. it's been pointed out to me by friends that I write really hard, but I didn't even think this could be because of the pen I'm using. lately I've been thinking about getting a good pen, and have been interested in fountain pens. I can't wait to try one out! I really hope it'll help with my hand pains because condensing my thoughts is just *not* an option for the way my brain works 😅

    I’m gonna have to look into getting the Ohto Fude pens 🤔 that looks like the way to go for me. I like my pilot g2 pens but if you don’t use them the ink gunks up and its unusable but I really like fine or extra fine nibs though as my writing is quite small but clean. I usually use a fountain pen for all my writing but I’d like a nice in between option of that pilot pen and my fountain pen and it looks like the Ohto would do that well. I like the saturation and lightness of the fountain pen with the deep lines but the small fine print of the pilot pen so hopefully that will work out for me ☺️ I wish I could refill the Ohto pens though as that’s my favorite feature of my fountain pens.

    I used to hate gel pens as a kid as they were always getting clogged and they never wrote as smoothly as pencils. But I splurged on some Pilot Juice Ups (0.4) recently, and they're so nice!! (Even tho they're expensive) They write absurdly smoothly and are mostly opaque even tho they have a tiny tip. I am a little worried they'll "dry up" as I have a Pilot Hybrid Medium (1.0) that just Will Not Write. But they've been excellent so far.

    You forgot to specify that permanent markers are not practical for writing on paper because they have loads of bleedthrough due to their solvent-based ink. Speaking of it, most gel pens I tried are very prone to bleedthough, especially the Pilot and Pentel ones. The Uni, not so much. For felt-tips, bleedthough is usually low, except for the pens that have an ink tank, such as he Pilot Signpen.

I was hoping to find 3-4 highlighters in one that is similar to this pen but I couldn't find any lol. I also use Pentel EnerGel Clena Gel Pen for journaling. Maybe I should look into diff pens that is easy on my hand because I tend to press down hard lol

    Hmm that’s a good one…. The only multi-highlighters I’ve found is the Kokuyo BeetleTip dual markers (and Kokuyo Mark+ Dual Tone highlighters) that retains a pen-shape. I have the 3 pack with 2 colors on each, so you essentially get six colors. And it’s on JetPens. Maybe something like that would be good for you? As for journaling, I love my Clena too, but it does hurt after a while. I suggest something with a more comfy grip such as Pilot Dr. Grip or Uniball Alpha. I gifted the Dr. Grip to my Mom who has pain in her hands and she says it’s the most comfortable pen she’s ever written with =) You also might consider going from needle tip to conical or synergy tip that can handle the shock and pressure of hard writers. Hope this helps!

I got a 05 zebra sarasa clip cos everyone loved it and I enjoyed the body though I found the ink smudge under highlighter too much for my liking. I’m currently using the sarasa clip body with energel 05 refill. (One of my biggest autistic sims is putting my pen in my mouth so I’m not doing to get a exspensive pen body.)

    I used to like Energel ink, but I found it turns gray over white out and when comparing the 0.5 tip size with the Sarasa 0.5, the Sarasa has a slimmer line width, which I prefer. As for ballpoints, I like the Bics, just the basic ones (their Atlantis ones have thinner ink, and I'm not a fan).
