  I spent way too much time hunting down a Pilot Automac and finally got it. being stuck with anything here would be such a stark downgrade

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

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

  1

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

• SuperNovaStar@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  I usually write in pen, only reason I’d use pencil is if I know I need to erase.

  So… #5 I think. Simple, reliable, easily replaced.

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

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

      I haven’t been in school in over 18 years, but thanks for the suggestion anyway.

    I never use integrated erasers apart from emergency like my standalome eraser got launched out of the test room and the staff won’t get it for me. Or for wood pencils when they are unusable for writing I’ll save them as erasers. I just hate having partial erasers or stuck half erasers in mechanical pencils.

  Pencils are terrible, pens are the superior writing implement.

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

• Coreidan@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  No Rotring 600? For shame!

• FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Am I the only one who’se only ever used wooden pencils in my life? In my part of the word basically no one used those plastic ones.

  Give me the black version of number 1 or a uniball precise v5

• curiousPJ@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  #3 for me. Keeps my handwriting just a little bit more legible.

  #4 doesn’t work for my writing style it seems. I end up wearing large flats on the lead anyways.

  source
• gon@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Out of the ones on this list, #1, but I think I’d prefer the GG500 actually.

  source
• terminhell@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Hope I don’t have much left to write if choosing #2(pun is a package deal). But it would be my pick.

  source
• antimidas@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  1st one, with either .2 or .3 lead. That also happens to be what I main for writing already.

  source
• CherryBullets@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  #3 for writing.

  source
• Geodad@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  I have 2 .3 mm Graph Gear pencils that I swear by.

  source
• GladiusB@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Why are we ignoring the diameter?

  source

  • KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    The lead diameter.

    source

    • GladiusB@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Ahh. Ok. I like fatty grips. So I was on a different wavelength.

• SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  6, cause it’s a gel pen. For a pencil, not really bothered by these options…probably 2.

  source

  • KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    6 is a mechanical pencil.

    source

    • SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Ideally one of these though.

      source
    • SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Oh. Looks like a gel pen I use.

      source
• AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  If it’s literally only one pencil for the rest of my life, probably the GraphGear 1000 since it would probably last the longest. If I can continue using multiple copies of the same kind of pencil, then it would be number 2 since that would be the most versatile and available one to use.

  reject mechanical, embrace wood.

  Graphgear 1000, without a doubt. Such a great pencil, and I love that it is weighted. It feels so much more natural writing/drawing, at least to me, with the Graphgear.

  • pineapplelover@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    The issue I have with it is it’s not built well. I’ve seen it break before from just normal use.

  i love my kuru toga, but i don’t really write much anymore. i do still like doing sketches in my sketchbook, so either 1 or 3

  They’re all wrong. I don’t see a Blackwing up there.

  After 25 years of writing Japanese and trying many cheap and expensive options… 「Zebra Clip-on multi」 is my forever pencil/pen(s) now.

  I never really got to use good mechanical pencils so I don’t know much except… Not 7.
