I've come to realize that a quality many seem to praise in pens, I actually dislike. Maybe it's from so many years writing with a pencil, but I actually prefer a pen that requires a bit of effort to move across the page. Some pens which are lauded as having a smooth-as-oil-on-glass writing writing experience just don't work well for me. My writing gets all screwed up, like I'm not used to the pen moving so quickly and it gets ahead of me. Whether fountain pens or ball points or gel pens. For example, the UniBall Signo was supposed to be great, so I bought a pair to try (put it in my stocking for Christmas). I actually prefer my old PaperMate Profile Elite. Anybody else feel that way? Or am I just weird?
