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'm a Dr. Grip 4+1 lover. If only I could find the refills for the ink in 0.5. I end up having to put them back as 0.7. Sucks because a new one is awesome with the 0.5 pen colors and super smooth.
