Just a quick update:
I went to my local art supply store today and got this, the Pentel GraphGear 500 with 0.5mm lead. (I deliberately went to the architecture/drafting section, where they sell all the weird rulers, figuring there I would be among my people.) It's pretty nice. It made suffering through the rest of my Biostats problem set a relative pleasure. (I shouldn't overstate things. I finished the problem set. Period.) The pencil feels good (despite having a non-padded metal grip), the balance is satisfying, and the eraser and lead are of nice quality. I would have preferred a metal body (while the weight is overall substantial, only grip and tip are metal, while the body itself is made of plastic), we can't always have everything we want, at least not in this price range. Or, I guess I could spring for the Pentel GraphGear 1000, which has an aluminum body through and through, and must be nicer if for no other reason than 1000 is twice as much as 500, right? MATH.
If I'm willing to splurge beyond the Pentel GraphGear 1000--and I'm not sure that I'm totally willing to go here yet, since I do tend to lose things, and I also have clumsy kleptomaniac kids which is why I can't Have Nice Things--I might go this route:
The rOtring 600 Drafting Pencil. I was originally looking at the Uni Kuru Toga Roulette (by the way, if you ever feel like you're a little too fanatically ardent about your pen and pencil choices, go look at the literally THOUSANDS of reviews on JetPens and realize you're not alone) but after hearing a few opinions about how the rotating lead-handling mechanism felt "spongy" and "bouncy" I was like NO THANK YOU MA'AM and turned my gaze towards to rOtring. Again, it's a textured metal grip, which I'm not crazy about--I really don't write as much with pencil as I once did, but I still do want to guard against sore spots and grip fatigue, in case I devolve into pathologic graphomania somehow--but the reviews seem good, and from a purely superficial standpoint, it really does look like a handsome writing implement with a price point to match. Anyway, I'll keep it in mind. I turn 40 in a few weeks, and if I decide to treat myself, maybe I'll go for it.
(Yes, I did say that I would consider treating myself to a mechanical pencil on my 40th birthday. Carry on.)
As I mentioned in the comments section yesterday, we are taking a trip to Japan in July, so if there's some crazy Japanese Hotness Mechanical Pencil (or any kind of Japanese Hotness office supplies of any flavor) that I absolutely need to source while I'm in the country, please do let me know. I know it's a family vacation and we should be visiting temples and eating sushi and doing karaoke or some shit, but hey, let's keep an eye on what's important. How else am I going to source cutting edge retractable click eraser technology except in Tokyo, I ask you? It's not possible. In America, we just have to use those giant pink hard trapezoid erasers like a bunch of savages. I know, it's tragic.
I'm really invested in this and have thought more about mechanical pencils in the last two days than maybe my whole life cumulatively. I'm also pretty invested in adding pathologic graphomania to my diagnostic bucket list. I'm so interested to see what you find in Japan!
ReplyDeleteMy husband sticks with middle-of-the-road metal-ended Staedtler pencils (0.7mm because he breaks leads) but once I found cheapo Pentel e-sharp pencils, which grip nearer to the end of the lead, I couldn't stand throwing out half my lead anymore. My freakish left-handed grip is perfect down by the snub nose too.
ReplyDeleteIt works great for now, when it's in my interest to buy in bulk for the kids (who use the thankfully-chunky erasers mercilessly). Still, it would be interesting to know if the best of both worlds is out there.
I was going to suggest the GraphGear 500 but had to wait until Monday to check at the office what my model was - and now you have alreadyfound it. Also love my Pentel ClickEraser - been using them for decades.
ReplyDeletetry going to MUJI in Japan - there are quite a few locations... they do have some mechanical pencils, less expensive than the US, and alot of pens too.

You should see how my partner Wesley Virgin's story launches in this SHOCKING AND CONTROVERSIAL video.
ReplyDeleteYou see, Wesley was in the army-and soon after leaving-he found hidden, "MIND CONTROL" secrets that the CIA and others used to get anything they want.
As it turns out, these are the exact same secrets many celebrities (especially those who "became famous out of nowhere") and top business people used to become rich and successful.
You probably know how you only use 10% of your brain.
That's really because most of your brain's power is UNTAPPED.
Maybe that expression has even occurred INSIDE OF YOUR own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head about 7 years back, while driving an unlicensed, garbage bucket of a vehicle without a license and on his bank card.
"I'm so fed up with going through life check to check! Why can't I turn myself successful?"
You took part in those types of questions, ain't it so?
Your success story is going to be written. All you need is to believe in YOURSELF.

It has been said for a long time that the year when Nekoust comes from its spring! A meaningful connection can be found between this proverb and the pre-pregnancy period; In fact, if you want to start a healthy and successful pregnancy, you need to plan for it from the beginning and prevent unwanted pregnancies. There are several methods of contraception that many people do not know well. On the other hand, you may want to get pregnant, but because you have not prepared yourself physically and mentally for this sensitive stage, you often fail. In this section, the Cradle website has tried to address all the issues that are necessary to know in order to prevent unwanted pregnancies and start a successful pregnancy in people who intend to have children.https://www.yjc.news/fa/news/7611576/%D8%B3%D9%81%D8%B1-%D9%81%D8%B1%D8%B2%D9%86%D8%AF-%D8%AF%D8%A7%D8%B1-%D8%B4%D8%AF%D9%86-%D8%B1%D8%A7-%D9%87%D9%85%D8%B1%D8%A7%D9%87-%D8%A8%D8%A7-%DA%AF%D9%87%D9%88%D8%A7%D8%B1%D9%87-%D8%A2%D8%BA%D8%A7%D8%B2-%DA%A9%D9%86%DB%8C%D8%AF
ReplyDeleteThe fifth month is the transfer time for your baby. This month you can expect your baby to make his or her first speech production effort. He is also getting ready to walk on all رعایت نکات مراقبت اصولی از نوزاد fours, which means you need to be prepared for your child's new mobility.
ReplyDeleteYou probably know that childbirth is a complex physiological process. A process that is sweet and hearty, https://nininama.com/%d8%aa%d9%85%d8%b1%db%8c%d9%86-%d8%b1%d9%88%d8%b4%e2%80%8c%d9%87%d8%a7%db%8c-%d8%a2%d9%85%d8%a7%d8%af%da%af%db%8c-%d8%b2%d8%a7%db%8c%d9%85%d8%a7%d9%86-%d8%a8%d8%b1%d8%a7%db%8c-%d8%af%d8%a7%d8%b4%d8%aa/ but definitely its special hardships. The cradle application based on your pregnancy age provides you with appropriate consulting messages. For example, if you are at the beginning of pregnancy, you teach you effective ways to experience more delivery at the end.
ReplyDeleteDigital currency exchange is a place where you can buy and sell all kinds of digital currencies such as Bitcoin, https://click.ir/advertorial/%d9%86%db%8c%d9%84%d8%9b-%d9%87%d9%85%d9%87-%da%86%db%8c%d8%b2-%d8%af%d8%b1%d8%a8%d8%a7%d8%b1%d9%87-%d8%b5%d8%b1%d8%a7%d9%81%db%8c-%d8%a7%d8%b1%d8%b2-%d8%af%db%8c%d8%ac%db%8c%d8%aa%d8%a7%d9%84/ Atrium, etc .; In general, digital currency exchanges do not exist in the real world and can be accessed via the Internet and virtually because digital currencies are not physical currencies and are traded and traded virtually.
