I cant't help you out

just grab a parker or a schaeffer locally .
the refills are easily found .

Try a Parker Duofold - check on ebay - they have a good selection of new and used Duofold pens -

President Trump uses a Waterman.

montblanc if you don't have to ask .

Well, after perusing many choices I remembered watching an article on the Space pens. I tend to be a write on the fly guy and when writing against say, a wall I was always frustrated by normal pens going dry after a few words.

The Space pens use a pressurized insert so wall writers like myself can scribble to their heart's content.

I settled on a pair of Fisher matte black military pens.

I'll give a review once I get them in. But I think I'm going to like them.

I got the Fishers in and they are... ok. They don't have the heft I was looking for, actually the body is rather light and they are a skinny pen. They have a slight drag when writing, and I guess the only benefit to these is an all metal body that won't fall apart when you lean over something with one in your pocket. One thing I do like is the pocket clip is nice and tight, ensuring the pen doesn't come rocketing out of your pocket when you bend over.

The search continues...

nothing beats a Pilot G2 in BLUE

they have premium versions of the G2

I like the BIC Crystal but my needs require a retractable

Pilot G2 does rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pilots are a bargain and refills are readily available. The best for the money !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The best pens I have were given to me on Father's day...they didn't write great but I enjoyed them more...

Zebra F-701

Stainless steel barrel, nice knurling, good weight, and only $8 (if you were to lend it to someone and never have it returned).

Made In USA !

All non Pilot G2's are substandard and blasphemous.

STFU and go drive a Chrysler 200!

I've always liked my Pilot Precise Extra Fine V5 Rolling Ball pens. They're plastic, but they are great for drawing or writing.

Only use calligraphy these days.
Wish I could help. I used to like taking other people's pens.

Best beginners fountain pen IMO is a Pilot Metropolitan...cheap ($19.95?) nice look and feel and writes VERY well..Comes with a cartridge...Lotsa fun give one a try

Best Gel is IMO a Zebra Sarasa...like the G2 except MUCH faster drying (no smudges) G2's take forever to dry...

Best 'nice' pen? Go for a Montblanc 163 (thats the rollerball version of their Meisterstuck line) Use only the MB refills for it as they write very nicely...

MB 163 can be grabbed pretty cheap on Ebay...you'll love the look and feel!

You really need to get out more.

Seriously.

Why is that? I'm already out looking for a good pen... :shrug:

Sometimes it's the little things in life.

I like Waterman pens, nice and still sort of affordable. Last a lifetime.

Lol

I bought a pair of zebra F-301, it's an okay pen. It a. 7mm and writes fine. Literally. Tiny lines.

It does glide better on the paper than the Fisher and the Fisher is a little heavier, but they are the same size.

Get a pack of bics and stfu, why you post this trash?

This is interesting. What would you let a thread about a particular writing utensil whip you into such anger?

Had you never had a cheap pen fall apart, or quietly leak ink all over your shirt?

Had you never held a pen with such heft that you thought "wow, you could beat the hell outta something with this"?

Had you not held a pen that glided so nice the words flowed onto the paper as if projected straight from your mind?

I posted it because I like the feel of a good pen. It's a bit like having a fine woman in your arms. Once you experience that, you want it again.

Mont Blanc lens are very nice and write well.
