A recent post by xcel reminded me that I need a mechanical pencil. Ideally the same size as a normal pencil and ideally ~15 USD (200 ZAR) since anything above that price has a habit disapearing from my desk.

    We still doing rotring? If you can keep the graphite sheath from getting knocked against something (like from dropping it) the original metal models are very solid.

    Probably a little heavy for daily writing if you have any RSI issues though

      I have a rotring 500. It has a plastic body with the metal tip of the 600. Gives it a really nice balance toward the tip and isn’t as heavy as a fully metal body.

        On that topic, I also have a rotring rapid pro that seems sturdy enough, though I haven’t used it enough to fully vouch for it
