Pilot Precise V7 Rolling Ball Pens, Fine Point, 0.7 mm, Black Ink, 4 Pack

This is one of my favorite pens. Pros: Great color with smooth application, nice rubbery grip at the end, dries quickly so it rarely smudges, fine tip for compact/condensed writing style Cons: The only negative thing I can say is that the point of the pen has bent on me a few times because it is very thin. But I'm also not gentle on my pens and my teenage boys use them too, so it's probably our fault. However, you can bend it back and the pen still functions beautifully no matter how rough we are with it!

This is the only pen I've ever used for my Franklin Planner. As a left-hander, it's very hard for me to find a pen (that I like) that doesn't smear as I'm writing. I don't like ball-points and the paper of a Franklin Planner is coated, so you need an ink that dries quickly. This is the only pen I've ever found that does the job. Will never use another as long as I have my Planners.
