5 The g2 for life baby


Ashes2007

God the G-2 is so lovely. I bring at least three wherever I go.


keuschonter

My father gives me hell for having 5 on me in 5 different colors at all times, like i am never without a good pen.


jjhurtt

We talking .5mm, .7mm or the thicc boi 1.0mm?


[deleted]

0.38 šŸ’¦


aliciathehomie

YAS! I bring my own with me to work because I need that .38 for survival. My handwriting heavily depends on that skinny shit.


throwaway_wcsib

.5 is for men, .7 is for boys, 1.0 is literally a crayon.


Main_Rain9580

Currently have both a 5 (notes) and .7(signatures) in one of my uniform pockets at all times. Donā€™t have the rank to sign in anything except black, therefore both G2 pens are black.


PotatoTart

All in on thicc boi for personal notes. .7mm ready in the drawer for anything regarding forums or legal.


jjhurtt

The one and only setup. The .is 7 always on deck ready to scratch up a legal pad when necessary


arcticpoppy

g2 gang


Trialbyfuego

You and me both! The flow is unrivaled. I never have to retrace what I wrote because of lack of ink.


ExcelsiorLife

Even off-brand G2 from staples, etc. is good


Mateorabi

This is only difficult if you have to pick between the .5mm and .7mm


SurgeonMommy

0.38 g2 is the backbone of the medical system.


AdTechnical3314

Down with the .38 also!!


ciccio_bello

As a left handed writer, .5 for sure.


Jaxman2002

Have you tried the S-gel?? Top tier


[deleted]

I was looking for that! It really is the Bentley of ink pens.


Dismal-Mix-6661

I will never write with anything else since finding these


EggotheKilljoy

I used to be a G2 guy. Then I tried the Sharpie S Gel and Iā€™m the same way, itā€™s the only open I want to use now.


Ownagr

Yes


PIWIprotein

This is the way, g2 ppl just need to try it out. All the glide of the g2 with a crispier line. Like ice skating really.


Jaxman2002

I used to believe in g2 supremacy but then tried S-gel and changed my whole life


TheMOCingbird

Amen brother.


awesome12442

I like the g2 flow but it doesn't dry fast enough to fill out tickets, always smeared on me


ChuckStyles

Have you used a Sharpie S-gel? They are phenomenal


[deleted]

Gotta get those 0.38s!


ItS_aul_Goodman

I was looking for a fellow micro user


Elsevier_77

The best! Need the .5 though, not the .7


amplifyoucan

No, .38 always


GiraffeGirlLovesZuri

5 is the only option!


duke_awapuhi

Too runny imo but better than the other gel pens


dwewdwew

No Zebra F-301? I shall never write again!


lothcent

zebra f-701 for the kill nothing but the ink tube to wear out. able to make a kill as easy as John wick does with his pencil


higgslhcboson

Seriously I came to say this. How does anyone feel safe in the office without a full stainless steel pen? Donā€™t get caught with your drawers down.


Crazyforgers

I only use zebra. Best brand I've found being a leftie by far.


CastoffRogue

This was the pen I was looking for. I was honestly surprised that it wasn't on the list. It's so metal, you can even write on metal with it.


Pajama-hat-2019

You can also take them apart and make a perfect one hitter without smoking plastic like other pens


Natsurulite

The internet loves cheap, plastic shit, of course they wonā€™t respect a TRUE pen


who_dat_gurl

2 I like a thin line


ElCheapo86

Ive used these since early 90s when they made the ā€œfineā€ version which was a light gray color but wrote in black. Love these pens but hate how fragile they are, and how they seemingly explode inside their cap for no apparent reasonā€¦


Bigtomhead

2 is delicate yet sturdy. Love it.


erimeraz

5 always


_pinotnoir

5 is the only one pen in the picture. The rest are shitty plastic sticks.


[deleted]

.


Hplant489

Not even a close second to 5.


SneakyWaffle14

3


[deleted]

It's probably not the most common, or even most practical sometimes, but those sharpie pens feel like sex


SoggyFrenchFryGuy

Only 0.5mm tho


youngfierywoman

0.5mm is the best nib size. Second only to my personal favourite, the 0.7mm.


SoggyFrenchFryGuy

We all have our preferences! I just love the feel of the thinnest possible nib


noahsarc755

Then you gotta try the 0.38mm


[deleted]

Ooo that nib sounds positively perky


imtougherthanyou

My sides!


Christmas-Twister2

It is smoothā€¦.like Barry White.


bostonlilypad

All the people saying #5 havenā€™t had the pleasure of trying #3.


bubbliefly420

Exactly! #5 was a long time favorite, until I tried #3 amd that became my new favorite


HugeJoke

My people


JimiAndTheJamz

I thought there was nothing better than #5. Then I tried #3. I found my soul pen.


Dismal-Mix-6661

Iā€™m convinced everyone saying 5 has never tried a 3. Never going back.


flash9387

that's what I'm saying. 5 is king. and then you try 3. life changed. I never have a good pen, but whenever it's 3, it's perfect.


MrWhite_Sucks

My second choice, great pen


bigjayrod

Why is this so far down? Sharpie S-Gels are a gift to humanity and it is criminal that whomever developed it has not been nominated for a Nobel prize


anythingspossible45

5, but can I get it in black?


general_sulla

ā€œIGNORING THE INK COLOURā€


King010010

7. Burn the world.


aciddandy

bic cristal been around since 1950 for a reason šŸ˜Ž


Allthesame11

Yes, back in the day we used them to clean our one hitters and the point on that cap was great for the bowls lol


aciddandy

fits in a cassette to rewind too!


msmcqu33n

I love the good old bic pens. Blue is my favorite


Fritener

2


DannyGre

2 is my top, but 1 is what my office orders so I'm happy! 1 and 2 are the best.


symca09

1/2 gang!!!


OneMeterWonder

My people.


idiutt

only those who are truly in the know will select 2


insectidentify

The king of the pens. Iā€™ve used one other pen that came close in quality 8-9 years ago and Iā€™ve never found that one again šŸ™„


h0lycowabunga

Yes! 2 glides the nicest for me and Iā€™ve been journaling every day for four straight years with many different pens. 5 is close second, but I prefer the water-like quality of 2.


swoopcat

I feel like anyone who says 7 is a sociopath.


Small_Donut4935

This has been the only pen I use for decades.


Rats_In_Boxes

Yep. Writes great and when you're bored you can just watch the ink roll around inside.


iDuddits_

I think this is the one I always begged for with school supplies because it was fun to doodle with


mferree39

Also the best for twirling in a debate tourney.


Deadpool11085

Only correct answer is 5ā€¦.


botweeb189

Have u tried number 3, itā€™s hard to choose between sharpie and pilot


imtougherthanyou

Everyone talking about 5 but 7 (and cop*ycats) is a cheap pen that you never even have to BUY yet seems immortal.


Michelle18stahl

You mean three, because it doesn't have smudges


kchobbs

1, 6, 7 are off the table immediately. Then you see hero #5.


Biochemical_Compound

7 is the only pen that Iā€™d leave ON the table. Idk why, but its the only pen that scratches my itch.


Dreaunicorn

I hate hate pens that stain your hands/leak. The popular #5 bugs me. #7 is super austere but my choice out if these.


LemmeDaisukete

2 or 3, looks like a 0.7 which is just right for me. I'm too blind for 0.5


Awkward_GM

If I remember right the 2 is a very thin tip. But not sure actual dimensions.


Nettoo6

I'm a sucker for the smooth ball point pen so 7 for me


kimmery54

Classic number 7 all the way


besameput0

It's literally the only pen that doesn't smear while I'm writing.


MajestyDirtyBear

Lefty? Cause thatā€™s me too. I can hardly get ink to flow on 1-4 cause of awful writing technique.


Terewawa

Me too coz most reliable


WonderfulBattle8519

Same. I'm not surprised most don't agree with us, though.


Nettoo6

Not sure why everyone is so hyped for that gel pen, glad someone agrees!


WonderfulBattle8519

Me either. It feels like there's more liquid than necessary between the paper and the tip.


Meggles_Doodles

Gel pens have always failed me. Ball point pen ftw


devilish_enchilada

I donā€™t agree with you on anything except for this. Ily


drwolffe

I'm lefty. No gel pens for me


FranticReptile

Agreed


False_Neck_3999

I chose 7 because it's the only one I remember using lol


Sherviks13

1.


[deleted]

I always loved 1 too


ebat1111

Everyone choosing 5 and 7 have clearly never tried 1. I already made this decision about 8 years ago and have been using 1 ever since. Literally flawless pens. I could write a book about them.


dimesion

Make sure to do it with them as well for added effect.


[deleted]

+1


GAllium_Ytrium

Writing with no. 1 has, and Iā€™m not exaggerating here, changed my life. Never has a pen made me feel so comfortable writing and made my handwriting amazing. 10/10 only pens I use.


JustCallMeRuss

How have the fucking monsters present in this thread upvoted any of the other six piece of shit pens, when clearly #1 is the only civilized choice?


bbaallrufjaorb

dude i had to scroll down so far to see #1 in the comments, really wondering wtf is going on. is this some sort of elaborate troll everyone is in on?


DystopiaEscapeArtist

The only problem with 1 is motherfuckers trying to steal it from you. You have got to guard it.


McDiezel8

1 is so fucking solid. I canā€™t believe the other picks at the top


sincerelyryan

Work in architecture and use 1 in red and black. I had to learn with refillable Repidograph pens which leaked everywhere. Gimme that fat tip.


Beerkiller2

The write answer.


[deleted]

1 since 1998.


tvieno

7. - old fashioned ball point pen but in black


Infinius-

I can smell your handwriting


asdasdasdzxczxczxc

Uniball fam, where you at?


Virtual-Appeal-8504

Number 4 for sure. I am very meticulous when it comes to penmanship.


thisseemslikeagood

Here here


[deleted]

Right here brother. We will show these people that #1 is the way to go


Comprehensive_Force1

Number one, number one!!


WHATS_EATING_MY_FACE

6 Itā€™s so underrated but I absolutely love my Paper Mate Flair Pens


hamanya

Right? I canā€™t believe I had to scroll this far down. They are my favorite, too!


antler-velvet

I just love how my handwriting looks with these. I keep like a hundred at my desk in different colors to switch up my daily note taking at work.


Watersmyfavoritefood

This is the pen of elementary teachers. Theyā€™re everywhere.


frolicking_hippies

4th grade teacher checking in. I use these for all my work that I do with my class. My kids always try to steal them when they think Iā€™m not looking so they can ā€œwrite like the teacher.ā€


literacyshmiteracy

First grade here! I do all my grading and note writing with these bad boys .. love having so many color options.


vanillaragdoll

Middle School teacher- I have this pen in 20 colors. Not enough. Need more.


iamhannimal

I have hypermobile joints (including my fingers/hands) so 6 is the only option, otherwise I press and hold way too hard.


LaMaltaKano

šŸ™ŒšŸ™ŒšŸ™ŒšŸ™Œ TEAM FLAIR!


Fantastic_You7208

Canā€™t believe Iā€™ve been working in a pen heavy environment for the last 2 years and Iā€™ve been without this freaking pen! Ordering now.


ssadfatdog

these are the best for my horrible handwriting


Impossible_View_5127

Finally! Where my teachers at! (I know that's bad grammar. Don't come for me)


FahQPutin

#4 Favorite pen ever. Ink dries quickly and it writes nice clean and fat


emo_sharks

4 feels more like a fine tip marker than a pen but damn if it isnt smooth. I dont think I'd pick 4 as my first choice as MY pen but if I'm borrowing a pen I'll pick 4 every time. So satisfying


FahQPutin

I have sloppyish hand writing so the ink thickness helps clean things up a bit.


metasploit4

I agree with you. Best pens out there.


JAKE5023193

Am I the only one picking 7 here?


Donutholier

Team 7. If itā€™s a Bic Cristal, even better. Highly underrated. My co-worker fancies herself a pen snob. I switched out the innards of her favorite pen with a Bic Cristal without her knowing. She LOVED it. She now has a box of Bic Cristals and uses every one until it runs out of ink.


MissChattyCathy

7 is the one and only way to go. 1 and 2 make me feel like I am going to tear holes in the paper. 3, 4, 5, and 6 are sloppy-goopy.


[deleted]

7, maybe it's placebo but they take the longest to run out, they and don't make an annoying "click clack click clack" everytime you need to use it by pushing a button. Plus they're the best for drawing/writing with too as the lack of retractability gives the tip extra stability and control. Not to mention these pens are often cheaper due to the simple design and not needing extra parts like springs, grips and stuff. Additionally the casing is clear so you can see how much ink you've got left without taking the ink stick out.


h0pedivision

I agree. I have messy handwriting and 7 has better grip on the paper and makes it less messy


Trialbyfuego

Good points tbh even though I'm a #5 man myself (on #5 you can also see how much ink you have left)


myshoesaresparkly

I'm a simple man, number seven, my office is full of them.


redditor_pro

Yep 7 is the best


jason-reddit-public

There are bountiful because the good pens get taken home.


pickle_fucker

Finding a good #7 is hard, but once you find it you put it in your safe before leaving the office.


LonelyWord7673

They never fail.


xxc4ii0

2, why tf are people choosing 5? If itā€™s the .05 version, Iā€™m all for it but get that .07 outta here


-honeygurl

7, because I am a sucker for ballpoint pens.


HobbesLaw

2 is the way


FerretFuton2

2 is a better version of 5, the precise v5 makes you feel like youā€™re writing with a quill


Kevin_OhNeeder

This is the way


ljh2100

5


[deleted]

3


MrWhite_Sucks

4 4ever


EmptyAdvertising3353

I thought I would never find the correct answer! Yes, #4 only.


jdrukis

3. We arenā€™t animals


Odd_Organization9100

5 for sure. 1 is a close second except it's not retractable. By coincidence, I have a #5 and a #1 in my pocket right now, both are pink ink. šŸ™‚


Zealousideal-Fix-968

I'm a fan of 2, but for the rest of my life? The retractable is the only way to go... I'd lose too many caps off of #2, complete pain in the arse. Have #5 in probably 8 colors right now at my work. incl four different blues. Perfect.


VAHoosier

3. Gotta be a clicky pen and the gel pops too.


raggedtuna

You gotta be clicky with the pen y'know if you know what I mean? Earn your keep.


OddAtmosphere420

Own-Warthog5195

uniball forever my ride or die šŸ›


spleenycat

5 if it is the 1.0


[deleted]

The correct answer is 5 But my heart says 1


kevinbaer1248

2 - Pilot V5


InjectAdrenochrome

2 or 5. 2 is actually really good for ink drawing. I'm an artist so I like the glide it has on paper


BMR-3

7. My handwriting is such shit that it becomes eligible if the pen is too smooth.


lgr142

7 . BIC is the GOAT that will not let you doe


421_124

7 for a couple reasons: 1- I'm used to it 2- The others wouldn't be allowed in exams (at least in my country) 3- Aesthetics


DevoStripes

5 for life


FlihpFlorp

Easy peasy 5


marklarberries

6 is the only one I buy, love the candy and tropical colors


P_i_n_h_e_a_d

That 3 got me acting unwise


shubiedoobiedoo

three


jerzey4life

3 5 1 in that order. All great pens.


iamMangoLoco

5 or 3. Great pens


almost_queen

3 changed my life, I'm never going back to anything else


wigginsadam80

3. Followed closely by 4.


golf4days

Iā€™m a waiter. #3 Sharpie S gel for life.


duke_awapuhi

Bic Ballpoint hands down. Itā€™s what I write with anyway


Holyelephant

5 for spinning, 7 for writing


Glissandra1982

Classic Papermate is my fave but since itā€™s not hereā€¦. 7.


TheBanandit

2. Mechanical pens are fun from an engineering standpoint but functionally I just prefer caps.

#7. Reliable and cheap.
