Why do I feel like I’m participating in market research
Got em guys. I took down Mr. Bic
Gimme one of these bad boys and utility razor.
Reminds me of when I had to write a physics exam in university and it required a pencil for the Scantron cards. I basically never carried pencils so when my pencil tip broke I had to grab my utility knife out of my backpack and sharpen it to continue writing my exam.
This image perfectly stretches in the thread display. Incredibly satisfying.
Except they have no eraser. What good is the black tip??
You use a click eraser or a normal block eraser.
Only filthy casuals suffer one at the end of the pencil.
I am a casual haha. The once or twice I write by hand with a pencil in a year I’d like to not have to track down an eraser as well.
Ja.

Same. I press too hard to use mechanical pencils
I just like being able to use a duller point sometimes when I’m drawing.
i also enjoy being able to do some shading if i wanted to draw something
- ole reliable
Yeah, 2 if I need a traditional pencil, and 5 for everything else

We’ve taken way too many things that don’t need to be plastic and made them plastic

never fails
Yeah but with mechanical pencils you can buy one and have it for years, only just buying the occasional pack of leads… Saves the trees ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Am I a psychopath for preferring to use a pen, even if it means I have to cross things out every now and then?
Stay strong brethren
This, I’ve been writing in inc brand R2s for 16 years now and I will never willingly use a different writing utensil.
Pilot G2 has been my preferred implement since high school. Just have to be careful for smudges, but I hate the feel goopier ink like in a bic pen, so it’s a fair trade off.
There are a few things where being sble to erase the mark is important enough for a pencil, in which case good ol’ #2 fits every need.

Someone do this, but with vibrators.
“you can only write with ONE type of vibrator, ignoring diameter”
Only one?

Nope. You’re getting some decent conversation out of this so those 30 minutes were definitely put to good use. And that’s a nice photo.
I just got photos off the internet, cropped them, and smashed them together in a docx.
Haha. I envisioned you meticulously lining them up and spacing them evenly with a ruler. I wondered how you did the lighting because there were shadows under some pencils but not others. That should’ve been a clue that it was a composite.
- Ticonderoga is the Cadillac of pencils.
Can I introduce you to Blackwings? They write so well and the eraser is a little bigger. Is it a lot if hype? Yeah probably, but its also just a good pencil. It’s like the Rolls Royce of wood pencils
- By a country mile
I have 3 of them, one of which is metal and cost me more than I’d like for a pencil but holy hell is it nice to write with.
- A good engineering pencil can be used for anything.
Number 2 is the only one that can write effectively on wood. I may not build a lot, but when I have tried to use a mechanical pencil for marking wood, it was a total fail.
