Hi, I've been trying to find the perfect ink pen, so I can buy several to stash in my locker and always have one. It seems ink pens tend to be hard to come by some days. I don't want to waste a bunch of money buying new pens all the time that I don't really like.
I do NOT want Gel ink. I prefer a medium point that writes dark and smoothly, not too big around and not real small.
Do you have a favorite pen???
A couple of my all-time favorite pens, which until i saw a post somewhere here with a link to JetPens I didn't even know existed anymore! YAY! :)
My greatly-missed Zebra Espina pearly rubber pen will soon be replaced! :)
Zebra Kendo retractable, which I can no longer find in anything but a gel, and I dislike gel pens. It used to come in a ballpoint variety though, and I would probably pay anyone who finds them, LOL
Pilot Easytouch Pro retractable - write REALLY smooth and nice and at least I can still find them locally
Of course, having a major pen fetish, i will also buy any pen that I think looks cool or will write nice, and I steal pens from Dr. offices all the time, LOL. :)

Why did you have to show me that website? I think Ive died on gone to PEN HEAVEN!!
This pen is my favorite. Love love love the barrel.
I too love the Zebra Kendo retractable pens, but when they took away the ballpoint version I was sad for weeks. I decided that I couldn't take it anymore, so I went and bought the Zebra ballpoint refills and made the Kendo a ballpoint again. It's so worth it, as it feels like my pen glove is back on.
So I changed my mind. Parkersburg never let me down for a while and now they're always failing on me. So I tried a Zebra F-301 fine and I LOVE it!!!! I was a little worried about it not being comfortable to write with but it's the best pen ever!! Since they're on sale I'mgoing stalk up on them and replace all my other pens :)
OMG, and I thought I was the only person obsessed with pens!! I like the Zebra-301 also, one of my favorites. But after reading these post, I think that a trip to Staples is in order to try something different!!
I've developed a love for gel pens - especially micro tipped (0.38 or 0.5 mm) needle-tip pens. However, any gel pen is nice.
As a graduation present to myself, I got a Pilot G2 limited and a Pentel Energel Alloy and had them engraved with my name and "RN". At least nobody will be stealing my pens! :)

I also have a pen fetish. I collect pens like kids collect silly bandz, LOL. I have a pencil case full of different pens in my locker at work. Several different pens in my purse, my school bag, my clinical clipboard, etc. As i sit here and type now I have a cup full of pens on my desk, and a plastic shoebox full of them to my right on the table, LOL. :)
My favorite pen for work though is the Pentel Rolly C4. It's a 4-color pen, and I have a system for my colors. It's easier than carrying several different color pens. It writes really nice too, and the point is relatively fine, which I like for my tiny space I have to write report on. http://www.jetpens.com/index.php/cPath/91_434 (hopefully that link works)
