Author Topic: debate: best writing utinsels  (Read 2131 times)

ok so as someone who collects pencils and stuff i want to take a poll of what kinds of writing utinsels that blf prefers

just to list what each item on the poll is:

  • Wooden Pencils: your regular old #2 woodcase. favored by many for early-school experiences

  • Mechanical Pencils: a little advanced, technologically-wise, good for having in a pocket or whatnot

  • Lead Holders: kind of like a mechanical pencil exept a little more primitive. uses a "clutch" mechanism, and you have to sharpen the lead yourself

  • Ballpoint Pens: the good ol' bic from the office.

  • Fountain Pens: ever wanted to look 200 years old? well, this is your opportunity!

  • Dip Pens: ok this is what it's actually like to look ancient, where you actually need an inkwell to use these

  • Felt-Tip Pens: like, artist pens! feel oddly scratchy, but the tip has a more spongey-tip.




Mechanical pencils: Bic > Papermate

Mechnical pencils: Bic > Papermate

now this i can agree with but i must say that

pentel > bic




i like wooden most dont judge

also ive always had a problen with the pigma microns leaking, don't know why. i prefer copic multiliners for that reason

i like how writing with a ballpoint pen feels when it slides nicely but i like to use mechanical pencils more often

ah, i've had the same problem with microns and i guess i'll check the copics out

the only problem i have is that i already find microns crazy expensive and the copics are even more iirc
