      my handwriting is really fast and round and i press down a lot, leading to hand cramps often when i take tests for history or english, that involve a lot of fast writing. I use a pentel energel 0.7 when i write, because skinny lines make my handwriting look more messy and feels a little scratchy sometimes.... and the barrel is super comfy and the ink is so smooth that it reduces hand cramping a lot.

      I rarely use any of the types of pens in this video, as they all tend to hurt to write with, after a few sentences. So, it's fountain pens for me. With the right combination of pen and ink, there's very little I can't write on with a fountain pen.
      Size of the nib determines how I actually write. The finer the nib, the smaller my writing.
      If I need my writing to dry quickly, iron gall ink. I also have inks that can take days to dry, and they're not the "usual suspects" of high sheening.
      After dealing with the pain from other pens, I've kind of found combinations that let me write in almost all situations I need to, and usually use a fountain pen. 😉

    This is incredibly liberating to learn that I can in fact calibrate my writing experience by choosing the right pen. Not sure if it is the same around the world, but where I grew up, we never even had a concept of “choosing a pen”. It was either you manage, or your tiny child hands are not skilled enough and you need to try harder (with whatever pen you found around the house or whatever was the cheapest at the store of course). It never even crossed my mind that writing can be made much less frustrating. I’ll be a conscious pen buyer now :’)

      I'm right-handed, but my position is sooo weird that it has affected all 3 of my last fingers! I also keep on smudging the work as I have my pinky above where I'm writing so now I look for left-handie pens but the one I'm now using (Zebra Sarasa 0.7mm) runs out too quickly to keep up with the long writing work I do every day! One pen usually lasts like 2 weeks and then they're just not smooth at one point, where it's scratchy enough for me to switch to the 4 in-one BIC rollerball, which I HATE SO MUCH because it has this greyish colour and it isn't blank and dark like the zebra I'm used to. I love the zebra, but this time I'll go for the 0.5 zebra to save some ink maybe because they cost quite a lot if you buy a new pack every 3 weeks... I'll end up paying thousands a month in the future if I don't find another pen, so does anyone have a quick-drying (not necessarily for lefties, just something that isn't purely liquid to be smudged around the entire page with one swipe) pen that has a dark colour, not like the Pilot erasable pens but a pen that has a darker colour than printed paper! I've got print writing and I take loads of space to write. I had a Pilot G2 but I never wanted to use it because I kept on going back to work and smudging the entire page out. I like the Uniball Eye 0.5 but it smudges, but I don't think It'll affect me as much as the G2 did. So I think I'd rather have a look at other pens!

    I write pretty quickly with small handwriting. While I like the fast dry time of the Energel, the needle tip is a smidge too scratchy for me to love using it for longer writing sessions. My three current pen loves are the Uni-ball Signo DX in 0.38, the Yookers Metis in 0.8(it’s a fineliner that uses fountain pen ink!), and the Twsbi Eco T in fine.

    After years of looking for a perfect pen, I finally found one that fits me greatly. I use the uni ball signo dx. My handwriting is quite fast and usually considered messy and ugly haha. I'm also studying japanese, so a thinner pen is better for writing kanji (my writing is already small) and I prefer the feeling of more scrappy tips (but still smooth enough for me to write fast).

I'm a fast writer (gotta write fast to keep up with my thoughts), so I prefer stuff that dries quickly. i usually don't like ink that flows too easily, though, because it makes my handwriting look too messy. i also tend to accidentally touch previous writing, so its not good if the ink takes too long to dry. i like the thinner tips, too - i think it looks cooler.

    My handwriting is super small. Like REALLY small, but I honestly like it that way even when people like friends and teachers tell me they don't know what I wrote because it's too small 🙂. But I like it because your notes look neater and you can honestly fit so much onto the paper, I like to make science notes specifically, very colorful and organized, I add little boxes of highlighter to lock my handwriting in, keep everything separated by section, and so much more. I've been trying to look for a pen to fit the small handwriting, but it's very hard since most pens have ink that bleeds and won't allow me to write in the way I feel comfortable because it will just bleed and the words won't show. So this was very helpful ☺️. Thank you for including the small handwriting pen, for my small handwriting that nobody can read, I started using the pen for my science class. Recently turned in my notes and my teacher told me it was so much easier to read my notes [And not because my handwriting is messy, it's actually really neat]. So thank you 🌸🌺🌸
