Papermate kilometrico

I always use this one: http://www.officemate.co.th/images/zpimage/1035963.jpg I don't use their red and black one though. Red one ink not so bright. Black one sucks. Black one I use G-soft if not mistaken. Red one I use this one: http://www.skyshop.com.my/product_images/f..._38635_zoom.jpg

And my father got fed up with me because I was too particular with the pens I use. He would go ALL PENS ARE JUST THE SAME! JUST USE THEM!

pilot gels never fail me.
zebra & fable castel ink is not my liking

gsoft always.. <3

faber castell can go to hell

Staedtler Luna ball XF. Good pen.
I bought boxes of it for backup.

yeah i'm very particular about my pens to the point that lousy ones frustrate me haha. i'm looking for good quality ball pens that feel smooth when you write on them how about gel though? i used to like pilot g-1 gel pen but now they seem to suck :|

im really curious about the relatively new model by faber castell called x5? any reviews?

yeah the faber castell x5!!! i think this is a new model right? how is it how is it? sorry pens play a significant part of my mood lol lol lol

I guess faber castell CX5 is better than many other pens out there!

This one from my era. Many students liked to chew the cap.

80s ?

Did they swallow it?

Faber Castell X5 for sure. 1.0mm nibs. I'm bringing like 8 of them to the UK this year.

just asking..dont you get angry when sometimes the pen accidentally fall down and then the pen wont work properly?

Yeah. I don't think it's really new. Been around for few years but of course not that old too. It's good to write. The ink is dark. Although their quality control isn't that good. You would find some of them always have overflow ink and some ink doesn't come out at all! Oh well, same thing does happen to G-soft too.

Come to think of it. I think I used Kilometrico during my secondary. It's something like this: http://www.winsin.com.my/shop/images/img1621-1.JPG I always use it because the ink could stand really long but I guess, I fell for the Faber Castell X5 ink afterwards :'D

Ouh. Yes. Especially when it's a new pen.

It does happen and this is why I am never able to finish any pen!

My favourite would be the Artline Ballpoint Pen (8210), it's as smooth as silk I've never been a fan of gel pens, I often smudge the ink when I write using those.

Only when the ballpoint pen ink leaked while in my white shirt pocket.

Too thin for me. Slips easily when rushing for time, especially during last 15 mins of an essay exam.

My fav pen faber castell true gell...
If anything get wrong wit the pen, send back to faber factory, they will gv a new pen.
