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.

I'll take the good ole #2 pencil. Just enough tech and no more.
1
I've also used 4 and 8 which are both decent.
Kuru Toga Advance please.
Mine isn’t here, but 8 if I have to choose.
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.
Where are my fellow Blackwing pencil enjoyers?
#6 is the closest to what got me through dozens of blue books.
Out of the ones on this list, #1, but I think I'd prefer the GG500 actually.
#3 for the always-sharp tip, but #4 is a close contender for the protection against snapping lead. (I own both of these pencils.)
I mean most of these look pretty uncomfortable, 8 looks the most comfortable.
I cant use pencil. I have a bad habit of pressing down hard when writing and I just keep breaking the tip. So I always use pen. Get dat bic boi
Hey made it easy with this one. 8 with the largest diameter lead I can fit in it.
Despite not having tried any of them I guess I'll pick #1 since it's the most robust looking one.
Currently I use one from Bic which works well enough.

#7, it doesn't push up when you press on it.
Mirado Black Warrior all day.
Does it count if I've already used #8 exclusively for the last 10 years.
My current pencils in use are a Pentel graph 1000 for pro in .3mm which is my top choice. Then I have a kokuyo enpitsu in .9mm which is very cheap and comfortable to use, and a Sheaffer twist mechanical pencil thing that is just really fun to use and has a nice heavy metal body.
I can't say I would choose any of the above pencils, I don't even see any lead holders (clutch pencils)!
I never really got to use good mechanical pencils so I don't know much except... Not 7.
