7 BIC or bust
7 is the the type of pen that lasts me the longest. They seem indestructible. All other types disintegrate in my hands after a year or so.
Where is the fountain pen??
Does a mechanical pencil count?
If I had to choose one of these, 4. (I can’t see a whole lot of detail in the image. Looks like a Uniball.)
But my preference is my Uniball Signo click pen, with micro tip. Love that precision. No cap for me to lose. And I will lose it.
I already mainly write with #1s
I’ve written on Cross since middle school (1980s)…
- I very specifically use these. They’re pretty similar to the Pilot pens though.
I once bought a pack of maybe 40 number 7 in all 4 colors, I am basically committed for life.
But these fuckers dry out if you don’t use them for a long time, I had to throw away a bunch. I tried receiving some by soaking them in Isopropyl alcohol, it worked for some but not all.
Uniball Signo 207
Writes easy and the ink is bold and dries fast. Comfortable enough for having to write 7 pages of client notes every night, even with my arthritic hands.
This is the true answer. The 207/207+ ink is the greatest. The sharpie pens are close though, especially with the weight of the metal barrel.

1 & 2 top picks, then 6 & 7. The rubber sleeves are nice for short notes and whatnot. They get slippery from sweating eventually. Maybe just a me thing.
- The Bic Pilot G2 in 1mm writes like butter. Glorious. $4.95 for a 4 pack.
The price and quality are so hard to beat.
2 or 5.
5 because it’s convenient and a Swiss army knife of pens.
2 because sometimes you just gotta shank a bitch.
Pentel ENERgel pens.
But if I had to choose, 2 or 5. I have 3 at work and while it is nice, I don’t know if it has the same kind of staying power 2 or 5 do.
