The real question is, what's the best pencil?

[nicholassmith]

The Uni Kuru Toga is probably the best mechanical pencil (in my opinion), but that's driven in part because it's wonderfully engineered and I'm a dork for that.

The best game changer for me was going with a mechanical pencil with a wider lead, because the lead doesn't break as often.

Bic makes a 0.9mm mech that I can usually find locally. Slide on a foam gripper for a better holding experience.

The silver Rotring 800 of course

I’m a bigger fan of the Rotring 600 myself. Fewer moving parts.

I just got one. Digging it so far. My struggle has been to find a softer lead that isn't so brittle (I know this is like trying to find water that isn't wet). 4B is too soft. 2B is too hard. I wonder if a 3B exists...
