I enjoy the light loose 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’ve had too many of 1 explode on me.

WTF are you doing with them? Maybe don’t strap them to claymore mines?

I 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.
