Best pencil i have used
Can I just use a pen?
The pen is, mightier than the sword.
The Pentel Graphgear 1000 is great. I love how it retracts.
I have 2 .3 mm Graph Gear pencils that I swear by.
6, cause it’s a gel pen. For a pencil, not really bothered by these options…probably 2.
I'm a pen/pencil freak who's spent an amazing amount of money on them, and I'd choose 2.
Also, some of these options are not pencils. For a pen I'd go for 5/6.
5 literally says pencil on it.
They all look like pencils to me.
If I'm only allowed one type of pencil it's good old #2 (I'm more of a pen snob)
Staedtler 35-05B but I guess 3 looks closest so I'll take that
#6 because I need all that extra eraser
I would suggest that the Dixon Ticonderoga is the most reliable, most cost-efficient, and easiest-to-use writing utinsil in the history of humanity.*
Each other option has more points of potential failure and additional complexities over the Ticonderoga. While more complicated tools may net you some improvement in writing style or sharpness, they are massive trade-offs in more basic areas.
This would be much the same question if it were "what car would you drive for the rest of your life" between fancy ones like Ferraris and Lambos to cheaper, more reliable ones like Corollas and Civics. Everyone likes the look of the Ferrari -- but the only car for the rest of your life? It's got to be reliable, or you're going nowhere. You want to be able to keep driving.
The Ticonderoga guarantees you can keep writing.
*intentionally overselling it for humor. But it is a nice, simple, good-quality pencil.
- I like the Zebra.Got them at Dollar Tree or one of the Dollar stores.
- Lightweight and reliable.
Also super cheap. I think last time i bought 50 for 6 usd and Im still using that box
Lol i bought that same box and yes, like 43 of them still unused.
1, I have one of them branded from my prior work, it's an excellent pencil.
I am a simple man. I see Ticonderoga, I choose Ticonderoga. I like ships and I cannot lie
Oh no... I'm that weirdo that likes the Papermate mechanicals.
They are just so simple and reliable. You could crush one and still get it to write again if you needed too and it had the eraser (that sucked) built right in that you never used but felt good looking at it and squeezing against your thumbnail when you were bored. Just had to put better quality lead in it.
But man Zebra makes the pens and pencil I would actually intend to use if I was planning it.
METAL KURU TOGA MY GOAT 👑 👑 👑 🐐 🐐 🐐 🔥🔥🔥
Yes! Finally bought one about a month ago, and I'll never go back!
The others don't know just how good kuru togas are
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.
8 that style was lucky for me in my college years.
Pentel.
Always.
I prefer the p20x series personally but just about every mech pencil I've ever used from them has been excellent
I had a pentel pen and it was just amazing. Very good for finger spinning
I have two twist-erase 3's and I've never looked back. I love them so much.
