I use these right now, they are OK.

I want to try something else. I'm not a shredder but maybe something just slightly softer (like maybe a 1 mm ) and something more "normal" sized.

Despite some people, I'm very sensitive to things like this. So, show me/tell me what you use and why!

i like how they feel as they attack the strings, no looseness, all punch! :hihi:
not to mention, purple!

Dunlop Flow standard shape are hard to beat for picks around 1mm or less - and outside of handmade picks. Experiment with thickness to see what clicks for you. The grip, bevel, and material make them precise, durable, and a joy to play.

A touring guitarist friend of mine turned me on to Dunlop Max Grips about 10 or so years ago, I rarely use anything else since.

Wafer thin, so you can strum like a nutter without fear. All I ever use.

Checking 'em out now, and loving them!

Hmmmmmm, they are a lot like the jazz iii's but bigger which I think suits me. I think I like the grip too.

Don't care much for the tortex "flex" ones, seem to "catch" when I'm digging in. Like the JD medium celluloid, but maybe a little too thin?

Used these for years as they're good for everything I use them for:

The Dunlop Delrins are also my #1 - the magenta .96 for bass, then the pink/light pink for geetar. Also love the black/gray Nylons for acoustic (especially nylon string!), and the green Tortex for whatever. And the occasional red/black Jazz IIIs or clear Stubby for intricate single-note stuff. Plus, 80% of the time I play with one of the rounded ends for a bigger sound.

I did use a brass pick for a while years ago, and tried a sixpence, but have always gone back to nylon picks

I just made a pick out of an old BOA debit card I had for my mom's account

Probably the first time BOA did something useful in a while... :hihi:
