    I used to have one of those pens where it was a woman in a bikini and when you turned it upside down her clothes came off, but instead of being the woman naked underneath it was just a picture of Lenin.

    Technically it was a gift from a girlfriend's former-Soviet embassy worker father, but looking back it might have been a proto Volcel Police sting.

    I like the pilot V5 0.5mm needle point pens

    I have some monster size 1.5mm roller balls that mark like a felt tip.

      I'm a V7 fan myself, but the pilot needle points are some seriously great pens.

      I almost always by the v5 0.38mm whenever I can find them, they are so fucking scratchy and satisfying. .5mm most days

    Love my TWSBI Vac700R with the extra-fine nib, and being a vacuum-fill fountain pen it negates a lot of the refilling aggravation (it's also just really cool). More money than I ever saw myself paying for a pen, though, even if it's nothing high-end.

    I am occasionally tempted by the idea of getting in to fountain pens, but I'm afraid it might start an addiction. And really, I don't hand write stuff that often these days, so it would just be pointless consumption on my part.

      i had a metropolitan before i lost it. got a safari as a gift and it writes much smoother, but maybe my metropolitan was a dud

      Metropolitan is an absurd value for money even if you have to buy a piston converter for it.

    For pens, i kind of like the Pentel EnerGel. For pencils, I think the Paper Mate Clear Point is the best ever, although they recently added a bevel to the inner edge of the side actuator that makes the mechanism less satisfying to click click click

    Stabilos are my favorite, but they're so fragile. I can't lend them to people because they immediately crush the felt tip with their calloused oafish hands.
