Pen Recommendations?

Get a Japanese pen

Makes total sense.

I actually have four metros and I HATE them. I dislike the grip section and they always skip about two pages into note-taking. I'm not sure if this is due to user error, but my Lamy Safari has never done that before. The only pen that seems to have this issue is the metro. A lot of people really seem to love them but I just can't get past the issues. I never use mine.

 

As for a sailor, I am unfamiliar with that brand. Which pen would you recommend I take a look at first? I know that reviews on Sailor pens are almost always positive and they have a loyal following, but I have no idea where to begin and I'm sure there's a long list of pens that meet my criteria.

How odd. Try flushing them properly, see that the tines are aligned, and then use a more wet ink.

 

I don't know too much about the Sailor models. Only that at that price range, you should get a very good one. Go to the Japanese pens section of the forum and ask there.

 

Otherwise buy an M200 and get it ground by a nibmeister.
