| I am not a pencil enthusiast, but I do have a favorite pencil. I think it is a Pentel, it's a Japanese made modern mechanical pencil with 0.9mm lead and a good eraser. I have to use 0.9mm because I break 0.5 and 0.7 too frequently.

| I mostly use General Pencil Semi-Hex #2 wood case pencils but sometimes I use an old Bell System Durolite mechanical pencil with 0.036" #2 lead. I was a Ticonderoga fan and also a Mirado fan until both the manufacturing for those pencils moved offshore. Now I only buy General Pencil or sometimes Musgrave pencils.

I hardly ever use wooden pencils, and when I do, they're the rectangular carpenter pencils that you sharpen with a pocket knife.

THIS. Especially since I work in the building trades.

| An update... A family member got me a pack of Mitubishi 9850s for Christmas and wow are they the best pencil I have ever used!
The pencil itself looks super ornate - It has a dark red thick coating of lacquer, and silver foil print letters!
It sharpens extremely smoothing, at the same level as Dixon Ticonderoga Black pencils (which as I read somewhere are made of basswood, though take it with as grain of salt). The lead itself is a very nice dark HB color, and it lasts a very long time!
Soon I will be trying to the Misubishi 9852EW and 9800, as well as the Tombow 2558 (often compared to the Mitsubishi 9850) and 8900 which is supposed to last a very long time.
