I run a Uniball Jetstream and a Pentel Tradio.
The Jetstream is popular for a reason - it's so smooth! The tradio is a fountain pen instead of a rollerball, so you might
get a bit more smudging and those annoying ink blots, but it's equally as smooth while being a lot more comfortable in my opinion.

Would recommend them both.



Aren't they beautiful :')

Thanks! How long do they roughly last? Just wanting to know, as I wanted to use them for my practise exams at home (because they are so 'comfortable ... so smooth' XD. But if they run out quickly I'll just use my crappy other pens.

I found a 0.38 mm tip in Officeworks the other day... They're gel pens, so slight smudging, but they are now my favourites. <3 (particularly at only $5 a pop, everyone thinks I spent a fortune on them, though...)

I bought 4 blue Papermate pilot pens for my exams. After English today, I have about 20% ink remaining in one of them  :(

Going to use my crappy Bic ones at home and for other revision and save my Pilots because they're not all that cheap.

My Uniball Eye smudged on the thicker VCAA paper :'( Letting me down stationary, letting me down. Still love these pens though, but they're quite expensive so I use dodgy hotel pens/promotion pens etc for practice stuff at home.

I have this, used it for one of the essays yesterday and was quite good.

On the topic of gel pens, I like the uniball signo too.

Spoiler

Maybe not for maths + science though, I prefer Pilot G2 0.38, started using the jetstream again too and it's quite good.

Hey guys,

Sorry but I fail to see how one can be productive without a Lamy Safari Rollerball, matte black with an m63 cartridge, oh the smoothness <3 The unknown love one can have for a pen lmao, glad I'm not alone :)

Haha cheers :)

I was comfortable and secure in my cheap ass but smooth enough Bic Round Stic pens for my upcoming lit exam.. Until my teacher handed back a practice exam yesterday with "USE A DARKER PEN FOR THE EXAM" written in massive letters across the top. Anyway, did not even know you could panic over pen choice. Have learnt this.

I like really slim pens, those ones with massive rubber grips or four colours hurt my hand after a while. Whats good for that?
