As long as you got lead in your pencil you are in good shape.

Is that, like, regular (wood) pencil lead size? 🤔 Perhaps I like the thinner lead types because my writing style is small...seriously, I've always gotten the "geez, you write so small" comments for as long as I can remember. I guess that was my way of rebelling once we stopped using that ridiculously large-ruled paper back in early elementary grades...or perhaps it just says something about my general personality. 😰

2H or 3H for writing. 4H or greater for sketching. Sanford leads in a Kohinoor lead holder.

Not a fan of mechanical pencils, but will use .05mm. Pentel's mostly.

Prefer Faber-Castell for pencils but the kids like Ticonderogas.

Mechanical's suck, you can't chew on them and get that good woody flavor.

Interesting.....I was gifted a legrand mb pencil. .09 one lead at a time. I use it a few times a week. Has a nice size about it and I write hard so lead doesn't break all the time!
