It had to happen eventually, right? My latest blog post is live!

This month I'm taking a look at 2 #MechanicalPencils that I had a legal obligation to review (thanks Brad 😆).

There's also a brief cameo from some lovely colour-shifting #FountainPens, and maybe even a guitar...

About to take this old fella to work (Rotring 800) (sh.itjust.works)

black mechanical pencil resting across a piece of lined paper with the “2023 11 23” drawn in mismatching numbers. The pencil is a black Rotring 800 0,5 mm, with its edges slightly worn away, showing hints of brass underneath the black paint.

The Pentel Sharp Mechanical Drafting Pencil is my go to favorite (www.pentel.com)

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

Mechanical Pencils for Writing (Cursive)

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

Different from my usual #FountainPen content, but this time I decided to splurge on a #MechanicalPencil and get the Rotring 600!

It has a good weight to it and it feels nice to hold. I went with the 0.5mm version because I tend to draw a lot of fine details; my only complaint is that there isn’t a 0.3mm version (if there is, JetPens didn’t carry it).

Thanks for creating this!

I just got a Kuru Toga Roulette, along with this slick little notebook:

Any thoughts on what slim travel case I can get to hold both of these? Looking for something not bulky.
