Perfect sized writing tip?

[Ns1]

Lead pencils, pens, whatever. How do you roll?

I'm a .5 man myself.

 

[legoman666]

I roll with .5mm

 

[Ika]

.7 for pens and pencils. My handwriting looks best when written with a .7 pencil. A .5 tip will sometimes scratch the paper or indent it, making it look not so good.

 

[kranky]

0.5mm pencil, medium tip blue ink pen.

Anyone know what instigated the move from blue to black pens? Seems that the majority of pens are now black ink.

 

[Epic Fail]

What is this archaic pen you speak of?

 

[legoman666]

black 0.5 G2 pilot clicky pens. Gotta have the click.

 

[chorb]

0.5 for both pens and pencils during normal writing, but 0.3 pens when doodling for that extra level of detail.

 

[Safeway]

05 or 03 or 01. My favorite pen is a Pilot G2.

 

[BlackTigers]

Whatever I grab off the shelf...no preference.

 

[Dr. Detroit]

Ultra fine or micro for ink pens.

I roll 10+ on my 2d6 and cast a (1d20) pt fireball in your general direction. Your save is 4+ on 1d6.

Same. .5 mm G2. Started using them a few years ago. I hate using any other pen now.

Having used hundreds of G2 pens in a prior occupation, I can attest that they are not. Don't get me wrong, they are VERY good, BUT if you drop it you're fucked. After a drop, you have a 50% shot of getting a leaky tip, which will fuck your shit up.


Similar to a G2, but BETTER is this pen I got from TUL distributed by officemax

Never used those, but I personally prefer Zebra Sarasas to G2s (in .7 size). Not only do Sarasas have better colors, but they write smoother too.

I like my tip nice and thick just like my...ahh nevermind I usually stick with the old 0.5.

The best pen I've ever used is the Lamy 2000 with an xf nib, a fountain pen. A good fountain pen just glides over the paper, hardly any pressure is needed at all, and my handwriting looks much nicer as a result. Probably the most understated fp too, not flashy in any way.

 

[Jeff7]

0.7mm.
0.5mm breaks constantly, and I've never seen 0.9mm mechanical pencils.
