yall have any good pen recs aside from muji?? 😭😭 I've been using the proed pens but they're so fat it takes forever to write and I need good ones for the hsc 😢
I love ink pens.
Gel pens smudge.
ballpoints take too much energy.


I lost the best ink pen I had, and I don't remember the company it was from T-T. So still yet to find a good enough match

The best pen is the Bic Atlantis. The ink is very dark and smooth, it's also very consistent - you'll always get consistent dark ink until you abruptly run out - unlike the paper mate ink joy, those are horrible.

bic atlantis is also great bc you get way less hand cramps with it

please try the uniball jetsream 0.5 pens they are soo smooth and lightweight and not too expensive if you get refills! dont use them when you study tho, use heavier pens so you write even faster during the exam.

hello
Zebra Sarasa Study Gel Pen - 0.5 mm or the Zebra Sarasa Push Clip Gel Pen - 0.5 mm, but i find the study gel to be marginally lighter.

the ink is super similar to muji ink, but I find it drys quicker so less smudging, and muji pen bodies really start to grate on my hands after like an hour and a half of essays, whereas sarasa's bodies are nicer on my hands

anyone using a oil based ball point for the hsc is insane, the S gel is okay too but i can only ever find the 0.7 pen size which in my opinion is way too fat and smudges a lot but yeah
