I find G2 has some ink issues. Sometimes it won’t output any ink, and being left handed the ink doesn’t dry fast enough for me to enjoy entirely without writing really weird to avoid the smear. But when it works it’s super smooth, rich black/blue ink do make it a pretty great pen. Read more

What about the Parker Jotter???? C-mon it was in James Bond... he used it as a freakin grenade! That said, my day to day carry on me all the time is a space pen, but when I can’t find it I take the stainless steel Parker Jotter. I Read more

I use an all-metal Zebra F-701 as my EDC. It’s solid, has great heft and balance, and a satisfyingly muted “click.”

These would be great, but they dry out so. darn. fast.

My only real complaint with these is that the clip comes off. I have this exact one, and I bought it to keep in my pocket with a little field notes book, for taking notes on the fly. It was great, until the clip started rubbing into the finish enough that it started slipping off. Now, I can’t keep it in my pocket…

The hydroflask is the best bottle I’ve ever owned. I bought the 40oz (with the straw lid) bottle because I’m an ER nurse and don’t have the time to constantly refill my bottles all night along with replacing ice. If I fill it with ice and water at 7pm, the ice will still not be melted by 7am. when I leave. No… Read more

I’ve been using the sharpie pens for several years and really like them. But they have not solved the main complaint nearly everyone has about them: the paint flakes off the barrell and gets all over your hands. It usually starts happening after several hours of use and, I assume, the sweat and oils from your hand… Read more

My favorite pens are fountain pens. I rarely use anything else for writing in ink. IMO, they give the best writing experience. Add in all the ink and paper options and there are lots of combinations possible, even if you just have a single fountain pen. That’s part of the fun: figuring out what pen/ink/paper combo is… Read more

Missing the zebra gel feels like some kind of war crime in the pen world. It tops the BP’s irritable drag and makes the the G2 seem as if you had been writing on sand paper your whole life. Its the most enjoyable pen to write with hands down. Read more

My Wife gave me a space pen for our first anniversary. It is fantastic if only because it fits in my pocket and i dont notice its there. THE only way i could improve it is if it was also an active tablet stylus on the other side, and thats only because i wish i could write my notes onto a tablet instead of paper... Read more

Maybe we should have broken this down into different categories such as favorite ballpoints, gel pens, felt-tip pens and whatever else you want. But then again it probably have taken way too long.
