Get a fucking life you autistic fucks.
Go outside

How it works.

Is that a Beats symbol?

Staedler ftw.

Also you're a fag

Its a Kuru Toga logo.

Graph Gear 1000 is my penfu, but it's kinda heavy for long session.

OHTO looks based as fuck any experiences?

Rotring 600 or BTFO.

If you write exclusively in cursive, you definitely did.

I don't even get what that pencil does, the picture posted is all Japanese.

the ring that indicates lead became really loose for me after a month or so with this. Otherwise amazing pencil. I cant justify spending another $20 when it broke so quickly though.

>TFW ashamed to bring around a pencil because I have a learning disability and my writing looks worse than a 4 year olds.

Hence why typing was invented instead of digital handwriting input being the norm.

>not using a lead holder

primitives, the whole lot of you

Sometimes I have to sign my name on shit, or fill out forums.

All I want to be is a good autist with great handwriting and a fancy pencil.

My handwriting is alright, pretty good if I focus and can even pull off amateur calligraphy shit, but I can't for the life of me make my signature look good.

Been using these beautiful functional devices for decades now (since the 80s, seriously), never had issues with them, damned glad they're still made but I have two of them purchased 30+ years ago, they work fine to this day.

Never had a need for anything more complex or even more simplistic, these devices are about as perfect as they need to be by default.

>2,0mm
Why not just use a crayon?

This.
Anything 0.7mm above needs a sharpener. Why even mechanical pencil?

use this more than my rotring 600, almost as much as my kuru toga

god tier right here

>falling for the rotating lead meme
Just replaced my piece of shit kuru toga with a Pentel Twist-Erase.

>tfw you drop your rotring and the tip bends a little bit

i find my staedtler 925 25 more comfortable than my rotring 600/rapid pro

i have the ohto super promecha 1500p and while it looks nice it feels cheap. not very high quality like rotring, steadtlers or graph gear

There can be only one.

it's a lead holder. it holds a stick of lead which you use a lead pointer to sharpen

it gives you more control over the shape/point of your lead

It's a drafting pencil, it's meant to be like that. Plus you underestimate German engineering.

Anyways, I've found this pencil to work well, the grip is soft and the lead shakes out.

I have a Pentel Pd105t.

German engineering can only be overestimated desu senpai.

My 600 is completely useless now after dropping it, I should really get a new tip if I can still find the thing. My walmart kuru toga is nice, but I'm worried that the spinning mechanism will make the more expensive ones feel as cheap as the one I have now. The way the lead gives a bit in order to spin it makes me really miss the firmness of my dear old Rotring.

Are you referring to the Uni a-gel shaker? I've found the Zebra tect 2way to be much better shaking pencil, in both function and looks.

TWSBI precision or wooden pencils or die

0.9mm twist erase masterrace reporting

nice samefag

...

I work as a stock clerk at Publix and I regularly work in both warm and freezing cold climate spaces, doing counts on products in frozen or dairy cooler, or making lists to throw stock on the floor. Most of the time I write on cardboard (rip a strip off cardboard flaps of boxes)

I want to know whats a good company that makes pens that have the following:

-uses pressure to move the ink down
-easily writes with very little pressure
-can withstand cold

I use these now but I was wondering if there's anything else

NASA: Spends $1 000 000 on creating a perfect pen for zero gravity conditions

Soviets: Just use wax pencils

stop repeating this shit meme
The fisher space pen was developed completely independently of nasa.

My problem with mechanical pencils is I can't seem to find 0.2 leads anywhere...

Nice shitpost. Retard.

Quick google tells me there's the Pentel Orenz Mechanical Pencil - 0.2 mm though I don't know what's the point? .5mm seems good enough, wouldn't a .2mm be too brittle?

20 Pentel brand leads from Japan for $6

Pic related god tier tool for pretty much anything imaginable.
Also it lasts forever, it just doesn't break. I've had mine for well over a decade.
Whoever designed the Twist-Erase deserves an award for top tier engineering.

I know that feel.
I'm an artfag who can sell pictures online for three figures any day of the week, but my writing looks like it was done by a legit child.
And it doesn't get any better.
No matter how much I improve with art, my writing is just as bad as it was in elementary school.

sounds like a fountain pen
try the jinhao x20

...

Any rotring tikky?
How poor am I?

based

I use one of those.
Feels like i didn't fall for any memes

Best memelead

Best disposable memepencil

I have one and it's shit. You need to apply an unatural amount of pressure on the tip to make it work.

I have a few of these.

Not because the gimmick is any good, but because they are solid pencils and dirt cheap and sold everywhere.

Honestly the rotation is shit and does not work, especially with kanji.

It's very good. Possibly the best I've ever used.

0.5mm 2B lead 4 lyfe

Staedler 925 masterrace

Pentel p205 or bust

I have Graph Gear 500 0.3
Is pretty nice imo

am i memed?

Meme shit

Rotring 600 is the normalfag of mechanical pencils

thicc

I need some pens. Any recommendations?

Mitsubishi uni shift 0.7 reporting in.
Is gud, super convenient and nobody knows how it werks so they stop asking to borrow huehue.

>he spends more than 10 cents on a shitty writing instrument

Why the hell are you signing forms in pencil

You really are retarded

I have
-kuru toga 0.5mm
-pentel 1000 0.9mm
-chink rotting 600 0.9mm

I can't find my chinky rotting, I think I might of lost it at school. Wish there was a chinky version of the rotting 800.

Any good light pencils?
I like the P205 but it's kind of hard to retract the pencil.
I don't like the tip movement of the Kuru Toga and the soft lead I use means it doesnt round out, rather get sharp at every turn.
I have a Pilot Automac but it's too heavy. Best grip I've ever used.
Mitsubishi Pure Malt Premium- the eraser cap feels kind of cheap and feels it could fall off easily.
Pentel Orenz .2 is bad with 2B lead because it is too soft and wears off so that the mechanism doesn't work well. With HB it's fine.

you should look at these
a popular one is the Fisher space pen
jetpens.com/Pressurized-Ink-Pens/ct/2720

reporting
with the Orenz you dont have the lead extend from the pencil so it doesn't break
but 2B is too soft IMO.
HB is fine and I haven't tried B.

You can't go wrong with rotrings.

if I wanted a heavy pencil I would just go with my Automac

i'm using this piece of shit that's actually doing its job just fine.

I write 5 hours a day, any recommendations for me? Cannot afford something more expensive than 25$ and I want it to be durable.(Pentel Smash's con is its so fragile..)

Boy I sure do love ripping holes in my shirts and suit jackets. Or stabbing my leg if I have it in my pants pocket.

TWSBI Eco. Best value.

>Pentel Smash's con is its so fragile..
I just got one yesterday.
What's so fragile about it?
After a lot of use do the little plastic grips begin to wear down?

go outside you fucking turbovirgins

>tfw you've had your rotring for 3 years and the tip is still straight

It's nice not having butterfingers

nice

You mountain dew chugging neets really will fetishise anything.

Zebra m301 here. Got a 3 pack for $3 at the NEX. Pretty good i guess

Rocking the black one here

why not pipe shift?

I actually bought mine on a whim a couple years ago. Shamefully, I'm just learning that there's more kuru toga around through this thread.

Bought it because it was cool japanese tech and now I use it on my Japanese lessons, still going strong

Zebra M301 or kuru toga roulette.

Also recommending zebra m301. I'm still using the same one I've had since 1998. Best pencil ever made.

I meant the Kuru Toga Pipe Slide...
jetpens.com/Uni-Kuru-Toga-Auto-Lead-Rotation-Mechanical-Pencil-Pipe-Slide-0.5-mm-Black/pd/15067

I've been using a zebra delguard for a while now. The lead never breaks.

Is there tip play?

Mein nigger

Amateur

I feel for the meme.
The meme works only if you hold the pencil exactly orthogonally to the plane on which you're write, which is uncomfortable and only autists hold writing tools like that.

Automac has the best grip I've used.

Plebs.

I got it but the fucking tip got bent in my backpack. It's a good pencil though

Pilot make the best pens

>2016
>not writing with chode form-factor pencils

Sauce on the right one

Bumppe
0.9mm best lead

Alphagel is best grip.
