I really like 4.
Mainly for the reason that it auto rotates the pencil lead every time you lift it off the page; thus preventing flat spotting your handwriting
#6 is the closest to what got me through dozens of blue books.
5
A pen.
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.
1s are hella sturdy and awesome. I love em as mechanical pencils
1
I’ve also used 4 and 8 which are both decent.
#2 is classic. #5 has never let me down. But ive never understood how people use #7: shitty wobbly tip
I’m a Pentel man but the one pictured doesn’t look very comfy. I’d want something closer to #6.
Pentel used to be my pencil of choice, too. You’d probably want something more like the e-Sharp. The one pictured is really more of a precision work one. Drafting, art. Less for long-form writing.
Yeah that looks about right.
Or the twist erase
I have been using 3 for the last 6 or so years. I also like 1 and 4. Can’t go wrong with 2.
I’ll take the good ole #2 pencil. Just enough tech and no more.
2
Tossup between 2 and 5. Forever locked in competition with their strengths and weaknesses perfectly inverted to each other. I used to use 5 for lineart and then shade with 2.
Alvin DM07. No other, maybe #3 because I liked that the lead automatically rotated on each press. But Alvin all the way.
#8 : Steadler 925 35-05b. It’s my first nice mechanical pencil and it’s just so nice to use.
The graphgear 1000 seems great too, I’ve never tried one tho.
Rotring rapid pro 0.7mm
What’s your opinion on the rotring tikky? I’m personally a big fan of the 0.5 tikky
Tikky II got me through my entire education.
