@twostraws I am locked into Blackwing pencils. They are in California and you could get some while at WWDC. Otherwise +1 on the Japanese excellence.

@stevehume I have a whole bunch of 602s, and sometimes give them as gifts 👍

@twostraws Queue ad in the vein of those Cheese-its commercials, where regular graphite is goofing off, and the pencil scientists look at their clipboard: “Hmm… still not mature.”

@twostraws Be careful, you could end up like those mathematicians hoarding the Hagoromo chalks

@twostraws my condolences to your wallet.

@mwyman Fortunately I’m long past the expensive stage of buying pens and other inks – pencils are much cheaper! (Although I did just buy an imported Mitsubishi pencil sharpener.)

@twostraws yeah, I’m in the fountain pen world, so I understand 😬
