It is a really strange obsession I have developed in college, but I am completely compelled to seek out office supplies. First it was pens. I had to find the ultimate pen and I generally would classify them into seperate catagories. Reciept signing pens, note taking pens, general use.
Now I am on pencils after discovering the new sharpie pens (with click retracting!!)
I lost my favorite Pentel Graphgear 500 0.7mm after my Statics final on Wednesday and I am seeking a replacement (will definately get this pencil again, it was a dream.) The pencil didn't have the bending at the tip issues that most plastic pencils have which cause 10mm or so of lead to break at the grip point, and falling out.
I have had good luck with 0.7mm, and bad luck with 0.5mm. I am intrigued by 0.3mm or even 0.1mm and 0.9mm pencils for various reasons. (Doing free-body diagrams would be fantastic with a very fine pencil)
I felt that there must be some fellow pencil-lovers out there that can share any advice with me. It is hard to keep me without my graphgear (now I am slumming it again with my Twist-Erase 0.7mm) and a tri-eraser/clic eraser.
What do you carry daily?
