Can anyone recommend a good quality pencil that doesn’t smear? I like pens. I do. I’ve never owned a good fountain pen, but I think I’d prefer a good quality pencil (for short-term notes at least). There’s something about the feeling of the pencil making its mark across paper that is satisfying.
- blueridge 4y agoI use Blackwing pencils while reading and for day-to-day note taking. Their long-point sharpener is also excellent. https://blackwing602.com/collections/pencils https://blackwing602.com/collections/pencils https://blackwing602.com/products/blackwing-one-step-long-point-sharpener https://blackwing602.com/products/blackwing-one-step-long-po...
- the-printer 4y agoOh yeah...this is along the lines of what I'm after. Thanks.
- abakker 4y agoI love my Pentel Graphgear 1000. If note taking, I really think the way to go is .7 or .9 leads, but .5 is nice if you need fine lines. I use the .5 for woodworking, but a .7 along with a Rhodia dot paper notepad for my desk.
- hunter-gatherer 4y agoWas given a nice mechanical pencil as a gift years ago and dug it up not too long ago and started using it. It is a .7 mm lead, which I believe is a minimum size for good notetaking for me. All through college I used regular wood pencils and loved writing with them. I believe the thicker leads are more forgiving for writting letters.
