I've followed the #fountainPens hashtag for years as a bit of a pen-head, but as I sit here using my nice Staedtler 1.3mm mech pencil, I'm wondering where are all my pencil homies?

@ottaross ii'm not much of a pencil knower but i got this pentel graphgear 1000 a while back and it has servedd me quite well
@shoofle Nice! Looks solid and the machined grip area is probably comfy to hold. Has a bit of weight to it?

@ottaross not much weight, but i like it that way. the nicest feature is that it has a nib that retracts when you press the clip.

Is there a mechanical pencil, or maybe graphite-enthusiast, hashtag I'm missing? Do we need one?
Excuse the inappropriately-excessive number of tags – trying a few to see what pops up or gathers compadres.

@shoofle Cool. I see it available at my favourite pen/pencil shop (in Montreal).

@eljojo No - haven't crossed streams yet… trains, ottawa and pencils? Follow.

This is my Staedtler 1.3m Triangular-grip pencil by the way. It's nice having a beefier lead size if you're like me and snap the 0.7mm leads all the time.

It is funny when someone try to write with the automatic pencil with a tungsten carbide tip I use to mark the metal.
I say them "Oh, it's empty again! Let me recharge it!", then I swiftly replace the tungsten with a lead: "Here, now it works"

@GustavinoBevilacqua lol - a tungsten carbide tip would probably stand up to my normal too-hard pressure using a pencil.

@ottaross I have a couple of Pilot H-2105 (they’re perfect) but the kuru toga pencils are pretty good and not expensive.

@ottaross I'm a fan of the Graphgear 1000 (the fully retractable tip is great), and Uni Kuru-toga pencils.

@aeberbach The H2105 looks familiar, I think I have one around too.
The Kuru Togas look great. I like the auto rotate feature. I recall seeing a demo of a high end one for a couple of hundred $ that looked like a delightfully over-engineered object of desire.

@jimp Haven't tried that one, but I saw another response with similar praise.
Yes! KuruToga is appealing indeed. Would love to try the 'Dive' model which looked fun in demos.

Okay a bit of a repeat from last summer, but I got a nice Kaweco 5.6mm in August.
Very pleasant to use, and does dual duty in my workshop and at my desk.

@ottaross The Dive does look intriguing, but the price has made me hesitant!

"hi, my name is paul and i'm a writing tool addict..."
yeah. fountain pens and mechanical pencils.
on the pencil front, i'm mostly using wood bodied these days. the pilot s20 series seems to just fit my hand, the wood is non slippery and it's got some heft but not too heavy for sketching.

@ottaross I'm a lifelong Pentel P20x fan, but I have a fancy Rotring 600 and Staedtler 925 35 too.
