What do you use most often to write? Why is that? Do you enjoy the feel of it as it contacts paper? Does it have sentimental value? Which ones do you shun with a burning passion? For me, the ones I use frequently, is either the Pilot 2020 0.5mm Super Grip or Staedtler Triplus Fineliner.

I have an attachment to the former because it was the one I used throughout the later 2/5 of highschool and 2/3 of uni before the spring finally died. In actual fact I would panic when I couldn't find it before an exam because for some silly reason I thought using another lead pen would throw me off. Ended up ordering a couple more on Ebay to have back up.


The latter I started using earlier this year, and now I can't go back to using ordinary pens. Yeah they're hella expensive but you need barely any pressure to get ink on the page. I don't end up having massive depressions on the side of my fingers, they don't leak or leave ink blots, and honestly my handwriting is far more consistent and neater. Plus I have like 20 colours which is awesome.

So share your thoughts about your writing equipment.

I've used this ballpen for the majority of highschool and college. I liked it because it wrote neat lines. They're cheap too. I wrote a lot of stories with this kind of pen, and I usually have one lying around in case I have an urge to write something.

I don't really care what pen I use to write with. As long as it's doesn't leave marks on the other side of the sheet. However it does matter to me what I use to draw. At the moment I use a Derwent medium graphite 12 pencil pack. Since I use HB a lot more compared to the other ones, I usually also have a Faber Castell HB pencil.

Must be a slow day in the forums

Yay, I finally found somebody as obsessed with pens as I am.

Has it ever occurred to you that maybe Envoy just wanted to talk about pens and is not obsessed with them?

Anyway, I use Faber Castell TK Fine for drawing and sketching in class,


And a Mongol clickpen. I tried, but there are no images in google ._.

I've basically been using these two (the ballpen replaced with a new one every 1 - 2 months) for 2 years or so.

For someone so obsessed about pens you don't have much to say...

In every task of my life (that involves writing or sketching) I use a mechanical pencil Pilot super grip 0.5 with 2B pencil thingamajobbers (what are they called exactly?). It has, or should I say, it gained sentimental value simply because it was the only pencil that never broke and I actually found it laying in the pavement(so it was free). For erasing I take a short and used pencil and put those faber castell erasers on both sides because it's inflexible and sturdy. For activities that require pens (exams etc) I use the very standard and simple blue faber castell pen.

Whatever the fancy pants name for this pencil is. Really simple, so it doesn't have any weird mechanical quirks, and is cheap enough to be super expendable (which is really the most important thing in a middle school). I actually have huge problems whenever I need to use a pen because of all the mistakes I make when writing.

I prefer the standard number 2 pencil. Because I like biting them in half when it's dead. This is the only reason
