The Everyday Carry
Pentel EnerGel Alloy Gel Pen
Writes beautifully in my Cortex Subtle journal and feels entirely premium.
0.7mm black ink, blue body
When A Finer Point is Required
Uni Jetstream Standard Ballpoint Pen
Use case: writing in my Field Notes journals on the go.
0.5mm blue ink, white body
For Humblebragging The Sunday Crossword
Pilot FriXion Ball Clicker US Gel Pen
This is my go-to for solving the NYTimes Crossword in ink. I still need the ability to erase but prefer the contrast of pen to lead on the tinted pages of the Sunday Magazine. Plus, when I’m done, it looks like I solved the puzzle in one go in ink.
0.7mm blue ink, blue body
