A black Autopoint #300-1 Jumbo All American MP with 0.9 mm HB lead is always on my desk. For drawing I grab a Staedtler Mars Lumograph 6B.

I have several pencils, mainly Parkers dating from 1970. A stainless flighter, a stainless Flighter, a Sterling Imperial Flighter, a Mont Blanc ( I love their leads)and a gold filled Sonnet which is the easiest to use. I also have a 1950's Conway Stewart and dad's Eversharp which he was given in 1938 as 21st present. I use dad's pen to graphite the stems of my pipes. I like the pencil for notes on papers for court. Two reasons, my adversary cannot read it at the Bar table, and a clerk might have inadvertantly put an original document in the brief. I gave away a P51 pencil to a mate who lost his, and used a pencil daily.

Best wishes

I am using an old Sheaffer which utilizes 0.9mm lead which is easy enough to find in the Pentel brand.

Parker VS with Pentel 0.9mm 2B lead

 

I found this pencil in an absolutely mint cosmetic condition, but the twist action was broken... I dismantle it and was succeded to fix it.

 

I've never fixed a mechanical pencil... Fix a fountain pen - any one - is a baby game comparing to a twist action pencil...

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
