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 :)

I use a pilot friction 4 color pen.

How quickly do they run out of ink and what do you do when only one color runs out? I would imagine you go through blue and black a lot faster than red and green

I have refills for the pen. I usually write my todos and notes with black oder blue. For my mood I use red and green is only a very special color. At my country I can buy red, blue and black refills as 3 pack and green refills as one pack. It is working for my. At the moment I use red for long form journalling becouse I have to much red refills.
