mechanicalpencils

The Pentel Sharp Mechanical Drafting Pencil is my go to favorite. I feel like I'm creating something meaningful when I use it.

I've used mechanical pencils for note taking for decades now, but recently took up cursive and journaling.

Maybe I'm just not used to it, but I find my hand cramps up way more than it ever did when I was printing notes (maybe 1 to 2 pages per day).

I'm curious what other people are using for serious writing. I've got my Rotrings (naturally), but for real "heads down" writing sessions I've been using either the Kokuyo Fitcurve (a fat and light mech. pencil) or just a plain wooden pencil.

And lately I've been using wood pencils more and more, even for note taking. Anyone else dip back and forth like this?

Doing some math 😸
