6, which I guess is pretty similar to my pick for number 5 on the pen post. Looks like the weight and style would feel best in my hand. Sadly none of them have my favorite feature of having fairly long and good quality erasers on it like my current favorite (non imported) mechanical pencil. Can't remember the name off the top of my head

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I pick number 5 because I feel like there is a balance between the expected lifetime of the pencil and the expected lifetime of the eraser. These fancy metal ones with the little sliver of shitty eraser that ends up getting lost and the supposed 3 pack replacement ones that you have to special order somewhere. Ugh no thanks.

I really think I like GraphGear 500 more than 1000. I do not like Kuru Toga. Right now I am all in on Ohto.

The Dixon Ticonderoga is the only pencil I've used that doesn't have an absolute shit eraser, so I pick that.

Number 7. A pleasure to write with, cheap enough so you don't get mad when you lose it. Eraser that doesn't suck.

Pocket clip does tend to shear off, though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Mine isn’t here, but 8 if I have to choose.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

1

I've also used 4 and 8 which are both decent.

I'll take the good ole #2 pencil. Just enough tech and no more.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

#6 is the closest to what got me through dozens of blue books.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Alvin DM07. No other, maybe #3 because I liked that the lead automatically rotated on each press. But Alvin all the way.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Pentel Twist-erase 0.7 is the proper answer.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Where are my fellow Blackwing pencil enjoyers?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

#3 for the always-sharp tip, but #4 is a close contender for the protection against snapping lead. (I own both of these pencils.)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

As long as it Just Writes(TM) I don't care. I want to pick it up, and I want to write. I don't want to try writing only to find it's dried up and I have to scribble on some other bit of paper before it comes back to life. Now OK if I've left the lid off then that's my bad, but if I haven't then it should just flipping work.

1, I have one of them branded from my prior work, it's an excellent pencil.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Oh no... I'm that weirdo that likes the Papermate mechanicals.
They are just so simple and reliable. You could crush one and still get it to write again if you needed too and it had the eraser (that sucked) built right in that you never used but felt good looking at it and squeezing against your thumbnail when you were bored. Just had to put better quality lead in it.

But man Zebra makes the pens and pencil I would actually intend to use if I was planning it.
