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.

1, I have one of them branded from my prior work, it's an excellent pencil.

none of the above of i may. i choose this:

The Pentel Graphgear 1000 is great. I love how it retracts.

#7

Kuru Toga Advance please.

3. it rotates the graphite as you write so your lines are always sharp. it's an absolute game changer and now i can never go back to a standard mechanical pencil

Props for #2 being a #2, but of these I usually go for 6. My personal favorite though is Pentel twist erase.

Though all the kuru toga enthusiasts here have convinced me to give them a try.

I also buy 5s in bulk, those shitty bic pencils are the "little brother" option when my D&D players forget their own writing instruments.

# 2 (lol), but only if I can provide my own type of pencil. Runner up gg1k.

Hey made it easy with this one. 8 with the largest diameter lead I can fit in it.

Graphgear 1000, without a doubt. Such a great pencil, and I love that it is weighted. It feels so much more natural writing/drawing, at least to me, with the Graphgear.

They're all wrong. I don't see a Blackwing up there.

i love my kuru toga, but i don't really write much anymore. i do still like doing sketches in my sketchbook, and i'm biased towards mechanical pencils, so it's a #1 for me.

#7, it doesn't push up when you press on it.

Mirado Black Warrior all day.

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.

Does it count if I've already used #8 exclusively for the last 10 years.

My current pencils in use are a Pentel graph 1000 for pro in .3mm which is my top choice. Then I have a kokuyo enpitsu in .9mm which is very cheap and comfortable to use, and a Sheaffer twist mechanical pencil thing that is just really fun to use and has a nice heavy metal body.

I can't say I would choose any of the above pencils, I don't even see any lead holders (clutch pencils)!

Pencils are terrible, pens are the superior writing implement.
