Who writes with a pencil? Drawing.... Okay... But writing is what fountain pens are for.

Probably #1, I love the weight of the metal at the bottom.

Anyone who uses #7 by choice is a freak

[-] myster0n@feddit.nl 7 points 1 year ago

I prefer 2mm mechanical pencils instead of the 0.5mm ones.

[-] Banana@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

5 all the way

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

No carpenter's pencil?

[-] Draegur@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Pentel.

Always.

I prefer the p20x series personally but just about every mech pencil I've ever used from them has been excellent

I'm a pen/pencil freak who's spent an amazing amount of money on them, and I'd choose 2.

I'm a Pentel man but the one pictured doesn't look very comfy. I'd want something closer to #6.

Come on, where is the Pentel P200 series?

Edit: I'll take the koh-i-noor 2mm of available

6 was what I ended up with after considering all options before I went fully digital.

Better grip and easy to refill

Five, but I want the 0.9mm and not the 0.7.

[-] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

7 all the way. Though a nice metal mechanical pencil does sound nice.

Staedtler 35-05B but I guess 3 looks closest so I'll take that

[-] em2@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

0.5mm for #1 or #3.

Get that grubby ugly 0.7mm lead outta here.

Wtf is this shit? No Rotring. No Alvin. No Koh-i-Noor. I guess I have to take the GraphGear, but it's under duress.

This is the real personality tests, fuck Myers-Briggs and astrology. I need to know your choices for stationary.

[-] Pulptastic@midwest.social 5 points 1 year ago

No pencils. Let the record stand, cross off mistakes with a single strikethrough like a gentleman.

I got a Pentel with a tip like #3, so if #1 had the #3 tip I'd absolutely say #1.

My 0.7mm Pentel pencil has been the best pencil/mechanical pencil I have ever used, for the most part. It was definitely overpriced, like everything at a college bookstore, but it's been such an amazing pencil. Only problem is that I can't have it loose in the pockets of my spring jackets or it will try to poke through the cheap fabric.

Edit:

I have used 2, 5, and 7 (alongside ones of basically same design but different brand) as well, so I have no idea how good the others are.

[-] TootSweet@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Erasable pen. Just because I'm contrary.

  1. Always and forever.

Not sure I've ever seen #5 with the clip still intact.

If I am somehow without my 0.9mm Graphgear 500 then I would have to go with 1.

Honorable mention: at one of my D&D sessions they had non-mechanical D&D pencils where each side had a number, effectively turning it into a d6.

I have been using 3 for the last 6 or so years. I also like 1 and 4. Can't go wrong with 2.
