The Lamy 2000 fountain pen remains at the top of the personal favorites list.

2022 "Best Pens" List Update Is Now Live!

April 16, 2022

I warned you it was coming, and since I’ve been exiled from my constantly-under-construction home office, I’m taking care of some necessary annual housekeeping here on the blog. First up - the 2022 Updates to the T.G.S. “Best Pens” Recommendations. While there aren’t huge changes to the list, the TWSBI Swipe makes an appearance on the “First Fountain Pens” list, mainly for its value proposition and versatility, and the Schon DSGN full-size fountain pens and Opus 88 Jazz and Omar move into the “Personal Favorites” top five. Enjoy!

The annual “Best Pens” list reflects my personal opinion, and I have not been compensated by any brand or retailer for including any links on this list.
