Don't know of any pen experts on this site, but FWIW I have found Gel Ink based pens to be better performers.
Ok, so here's my need... I write down setlists at concerts I attend, and I'm usually holding on to the notebook while standing up, and the ink in a cheesy bic pen always goes to the top and wont come back down. Some times the paper is wet from being spilled on, sometimes different type of notebook peper, etc...I just thought people on this forum would have some sort of opinion on a good pen that ALWAYS writes whenever you need it to.
No problem! I advise from experience.. My father used to use them when he was in the Forces, so naturally, I used them too. They're stunning to write with.. Unfortunately, I didn't get to test how they worked in zero-G
