Comment on 3's grip looks the most comfy
BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 1 week agoI like 1 because it’s thin and not a roller type. You only have to imagine writing and you’re doing it. Rollers can be ok, and 5 is a decent example, but 1 used with a ruler for precise drawing, nothing beats that.

For me one looks like it would be very nice, but it’s just too loose when it comes to writing and the ink smudge is really easily from what I remember. My dad had them all around the house because they look very business like but I don’t really remember enjoying writing with them.

I enjoy the light feeling of writing with pens like 1. The pressure needed for a roller means that you really need to mean it, which I feel hinders my “creativity” in writing… I just like to write some fucked up tall cursive, ok?
I guess it’s just a matter of personality. I mean there are some good rollers out there. I know, I’ve got some. In uni, almost 20 years ago, we had to take hand written exams, and the school still needed three copies plus your own, so we had to punch through three sheets to get a carbon copy on the last sheet. After my first exam where trying to crank out 10 pages per hour gave me cramps, I went out and got some really nice rollers. The grip had a diameter like my index finger. Still 4 hours and 40 semi-neatly written pages of A4 would cause a considerable strain.

I have pretty terrible handwriting so I feel like mine is pretty easy to not be able to read in the first place so something so loose doesn’t really work for me. I think if I had a nice Penmanship or with artistic, it would just flow a lot better, but I need something quite firm and stable.
