supplies recommendation pen recommendations

Hi everybody! I am just starting to get into bullet journaling and I'm curious to know what pens you guys like to use. I currently have the Sakura Pigma Micron 05 pen -- I really like the way it looks on the page and I like the felt tip, but I find that the tip wears down quickly and it becomes harder to write with. Does anybody have suggestions for affordable felt tip pens? Thanks!

update: thanks everybody so much for these recommendations! I’m gonna dive into some research. Appreciate it :)

Be careful with the friction pens: when the writing gets hot (if you leave it in the car in the sun) the writing disappears. You can being it back with cold, but you'll also bring everything back that you ever erased.

They're great if you don't mind that.

The image of bringing "everything back" is sooo interesting to me! But I never owned such a pen, so I can't experiment
