Pencils?
« on: August 12, 2024, 10:25:59 PM »
So, it's been a while but I got stuck on some pencil review videos and decided to try out a few fancier pencils. My previous go to mechanical was the Zebra but I ended up trying two others and like them both for different reasons.

My overall favorite of the bunch was the Uni Kuru Toga. It's an auto-feed and the lead rotates a bit each time to keep a fresh edge. It has a nice style and feel to it as well and fits my normal writing style.

The other one was the Pentel  Orenz Nero. This one is super sleek. It has a solid feel to it and the blackout color is just cool. The interesting feature of this one is that the lead doesn't come past the sleeve. Instead the sleeve retracts on contact with paper and exposes just a small bit of the lead. The downside of this one is that you do need to lift the pencil more often to make sure you don't start scratching the paper.

Anyways, any other pencil nerds?

I don't remember the last time I used a pencil outside of a house project (marking/cutting wood).  I used to care when I did some drafting in high school but haven't really gotten into it since then.
