I use Bic Pro + in black. However, it has a groove kinda thing that I think is designed for people who use a pen with one finger on the top and I use two so it's not as comfortable. I want to get some new kilometrico ones.

bic ultra round stic grip.
8 pens for like $3.50.
last for ages and work like a charm :)
i bought some more expensive pens for my trials which write really smoothly and my friend uses them, i had 2, they both ran out after 2 trial papers, which was annoying considering their cost, whereas the bic ultra round stic grip just lasts for ages!
god i can't believe i'm promoting a pen...i should go study or get out more or something haha...

bic ultra round stic grip
they last for a while and they're cheap so there's no fear of losing ink

Papermate Kilometric black pens are easy to handle and offer great speed.
however some cramps... but well worth it.

im using this retractable metal-tip ink pen by Pentel (not the ballpoint ones)... they like GLIDE across the stupid BOS writing booklet paper. i compared it with ballpoint.. and the writing speed is greatly improved.

so this is where i should have been posting about my new-found love affair with BIC.

Bic classic fine. yellow barrel and fine tip. FTW. strong colour and writes pretty smooth. Until i found

BIC ultra round stic grip featuring easy glide: feel the smoothness!

they are awesome. i got a pack of 8 for $2.73 or thereabouts. they really do feel smoother then other pens so my writing speed sort of increased. one problem though. the 'grip' is rubbish. feels like plastic. not soft or grippy at all. my hand still hurts after using these pens.
