please man i just want a smooth pen for chem
This is where I shall document my spiritual journey and awakening with the pens I used.
This was where it all began. Upon using this pen for the first time, my mind was blown. All my life, I thought pens were meant to be pressed firmly into the paper. But writing with this pen was truly a turning point in my life. The ink flowed like water, and my writing speed doubled. The only downside was, it was too large. While my writing speed doubled, my handwriting (which was already atrocious) halved in quality. From an outside perspective, one could see that my low average in chem was directly proportional to the quality of my handwriting (lets ignore that it was primarily cause i was lazy). This sparked a search for a finer pen size, i.e. 0.5 or 0.38mm, but alas, Sharpie is American, and such finer pen tips were only found in the land of freedom. Furthermore, the 0.7mm was incredibly blotchy. Like seriously, I'd write a single line and my right hand would become blackened instantly. This was a major let-down for me, and I couldn't handle having my writing become unreadable if I accidentally slid my finger across the letters.
This was an interesting pen. While my handwriting certainly got better, this pen lacked the free-flowing ability of the Sharpie pens. In fact, one could say that the pen was rather scratchy, as it felt so resistant and produced such a thin line. Overall, this pen does hold a soft spot in my heart as it got me through sem 2 of yr 10.
Now this was a significant upgrade. This pen allowed my handwriting to be "reasonably" good (my mother would say otherwise), and like all Muji ink pens, was relatively smooth. This pen felt like perfect, but I was longing for something more. I missed the free-flowing of the Sharpie pen, but also wanted it to have a relatively medium (0.50mm) pen tip.
You may ask "What the hell is Pop Urban"? Well, first, popular. No, not the adjective, the store in many Asian countries! Popular supplies a brand, "Pop Urban". I'm now just realising that they probably own this pen brand. Anyways, despite being 0.7mm, the ink produced was vivid and sharp, and was almost as smooth as the Sharpie pen. Hence, I used it in conjunction with the Pentel pen. Now this pen was quite like the Muji 0.38 one. Incredibly sharp, but very smooth as well. Problem is, the Pop Urban pens only come from Popular, and the Pentel pen is like $6 per pen, which is absolutely ridiculous. So, the journey continues for the perfect pen. And I think I'm on to something. Here's to the future.
Buttery smooth. But too big. If there existed a 0.5mm version, I would be ecstatic.
THERE EXISTS A 0.5 VERSION. I WILL BE BUYING IT SOON.
I've done it fellas. This is the pen. The pen I've been dreaming of. The one I have been lusting for. My greater half, the complement to P(Me), the Jekyll to my Hyde, the Christian to myself, the equal amount of acid to the equal amount of base resulting in equivalence, the chem past papers to my chem grades, the pranav and the me (funny men), and so on.
I love this pen. They are expensive. But they are beautiful. They write so smoothly its a feeling I can't describe. I think 0.5mm is the right size for me, but my writing is getting a little bulky so I might switch back to the 0.4mm. But this is just top tier. None of the resistance the sharpie s-gel pens had. This is (very close to) perfection.
Now the next step is to make my own pen company and design a brand of pens specifically tailored to me.
