The "Pentel Kerry" is an excellent mechanical pencil. Anyone who wants good ol' erasable lead probably should go for the Pentel Kerry.
Its not a "Pen", but Jetpens does sell it and did recommend it.
The one downside is that Pentel's mechanical-pencil erasers are tiny. They are good quality rubber though and work well, but their small size wears out incredibly quickly.
- llaolleh 5y ago+1 for Kerry. It feels extremely smooth and it's probably the best mechanical pencil I've used.
- throwanem 5y agoI always favored the Twist-Erase III for exactly that reason. Not what anyone would call elegant, but extremely serviceable, and elegance seems more fitting a concern for pens in any case.
- analog31 5y agoAh, the big eraser looks like just the thing for me. And you can get them with 0.9 mm lead. I'm such a clumsy writer, and have pretty much given up on pens. We're not required to use them for lab notebooks any more.
- throwanem 5y agoIf you want to improve your hand, I've found fountain pens good for that - the way they work makes it easier to write well than poorly. A Pilot Metropolitan is inexpensive, handsome, pleasant to use, and steel-nibbed to hold up to inexperienced use; as a starter pen it's unmatched, and might be worth a try if you're not quite ready to give up on pens altogether.
- mangamadaiyan 5y agoI'm always torn between the Kerry and the Uni Kurutoga. I have both, and they are both a pleasure to use.
- jerlam 5y agoThe Kuro Toga is hard to beat. On the Advance, the lead rotation makes it effectively a lead size smaller and the sliding sleeve prevents lead breakage.
