the maxican made bic pens are totally teh suck. premature failure

 

[Spikey289]

I used to swear by bic but now I have found that they write like crap on paper. I used to use them in school all the time, not now. I dont use a pen that much with my job but I have one here it is a *fumbles on desk for pen... eversharp astro tec. Found them once somewhere and they work better then any cheap pen. Trying to find more to use.

Papermate is superior.

Besides BIC is french owned and I will never knowingly ever buy a french product again. 😛

Bic pens leak too.

Uniball pens are the only ones I've used for about 15 years.

JJones, Yah I like Uniballs, but don't they run out of ink really quickly? I would use them, but in the middle of writing something it'd suddenlly just go kaput.

i prefer gel-ink PreciseGel Pilot pens with 0.7 mm tip... ha! Take that koba! 🙂

Pilot G2 07 is the only way to go.

I normally write with gel pens by Pilot but if I need to use a cheapo pen, its a Papermate. Their ink is just better, nice and dark. Bics smudge easier and fade in an out a lot...

the G-2's?

Mostly my Dr Grip Gel but many Pilot assortments like the G-2 and Precise V and Retractable...

That would explain why they give up so easily 😉

Anyhoo, I'm an avid doodler, so I can't stand it if my work is interrupted by the cheap-o pen dying out one me! I can't help it if my lifelong passion is to doodle!

I tend to prefer the blue Papermate because I just like the way the ink flows.

Black bic, Blue Papermate. If I had to choose between them, then Blue Papermate because, as has been noted. the ink just seems to flow well.

Give the french a break, it's just a pen, no?
