Sometime around 2010 I discovered the Bic Atlantis pen, and have been using them exclusively since. I purchased my first pack of the new Bic Glide (supposedly nothing changed with them other than the name).

I have liked this pen because not only do I get little to no smudging, but I do not get the choppiness that i do with some other ballpoint pens.

I used to use a lot of felt tipped pens in my youth, but in 2003 I started to work for a research laboratory and there are quite strict rules about which pen you can and cannot use. Felt tip pens were out.

Curious what others use.

Old post, but just found this community. Yay!

I switched back to pencils over a decade ago and I’ve been a lot happier. I only use regular pencils that need a sharpener. Im a heavy handed writer, so my paper planner is the only place I use a mechanical pencil because the paper is thick enough that it won’t tear.

I stopped using pens because ink is a lot harder to wash off of my hand than pencil lead.

Welcome to the community!

I use a mechanical pencil while playing pathfinder. When drawing I swap between a wooden Pencil and my mechanical pencil depending on the lines I am drawing.

I need to get back into using a paper planer too.

Necroposting here. My ultimate pen is the Zebra Sarasa X10. It is specifically designed to have very fast drying ink for lefties! Our office admin bought me 10, and I use them until the ink runs out.

Interesting, I have always been a fan of zebra, but I have never seen this model. I will grab one if I see it in a store.
