Hey /<span class="math">\psi[/spoiler]/,
What writing material do you guys use? Pic related, but I am thinking about switching to the Pilot G-2 05 or 0.38 even. Does anyone have any experience with those?

>> No.3284666

Ew, gel based pens.

>> No.3284674

I use the Pilot G-2 Pro.

I actually like the writing feel of a fountain pen. Unfortunately, it tends to smudge easily and I find them to e somewhat fragile, not too mention very expensive for something I quite often lose. Therefore, I find a fountain pen to be not very practical.

Fuck that shit.
For pencil, I use generic, cheap .07 mechanical pencils.
For pen, Pilot Precise V5 extra fine.
I have never had a single foul-up with those pens; no jamming, clogging, or spewing. Best pens I have ever experienced, and they aren't much more expensive than those shitty 100 pen packs that die after you write twice with them.

It's one of the useful ones. a) day.month.year for readability, b) year-month-day (ISO-8601) for sorting files and convenience when you're used to it.

Skinny, looks nice, gel based, .5 mm thickness (I prefer .25 pens but I have to go out of my way to get them)

I am a really big pen fan, ever since I started to take Japanese classes I've started to really like them

The finest available ("ultra fine"). It didn't last very long however (as I'm writing a lot with it), so now it came down to the usual fine version I've had before on its own.
