Someone do this, but with vibrators.
Anyone who uses #7 by choice is a freak
I find myself inordinately amused by the unsolicited vitriol of your comment. Sounds like you have a lot to unpack with that particular model.
Thank you.
I would suggest that the Dixon Ticonderoga is the most reliable, most cost-efficient, and easiest-to-use writing utinsil in the history of humanity.*
Each other option has more points of potential failure and additional complexities over the Ticonderoga. While more complicated tools may net you some improvement in writing style or sharpness, they are massive trade-offs in more basic areas.
This would be much the same question if it were "what car would you drive for the rest of your life" between fancy ones like Ferraris and Lambos to cheaper, more reliable ones like Corollas and Civics. Everyone likes the look of the Ferrari -- but the only car for the rest of your life? It's got to be reliable, or you're going nowhere. You want to be able to keep driving.
The Ticonderoga guarantees you can keep writing.
*intentionally overselling it for humor. But it is a nice, simple, good-quality pencil.
- A good engineering pencil can be used for anything.
Am I a psychopath for preferring to use a pen, even if it means I have to cross things out every now and then?

If I'm only allowed one type of pencil it's good old #2 (I'm more of a pen snob)
6 is where the fuck it's at, shit looks comfy as fuck and I will fight everyone else here I don't even care if you agree with me
#7
Pentel.
Always.
I prefer the p20x series personally but just about every mech pencil I've ever used from them has been excellent
I had a pentel pen and it was just amazing. Very good for finger spinning

Wtf is this shit? No Rotring. No Alvin. No Koh-i-Noor. I guess I have to take the GraphGear, but it's under duress.
No K&E either. Which for any draftsperson, ex or current, is a heretical omission.
How could I forget K&E. Nice slide rules, too.
Oh, absolutely! Still have mine in my desk drawer for any long-chained calculations. The Deci-Lon was the absolute GOAT in both its long and short forms.
IMHO the only slide rule that was consistently better was the Faber-Castell 2/83N.

#9 : Steadler 925 35-05b. It's my first nice mechanical pencil and it's just so nice to use.
The graphgear 1000 seems great too, I've never tried one tho.

If you choose #2 you'll eventually not be able to write anything ever again because you can't just add more lead.

Nope. You’re getting some decent conversation out of this so those 30 minutes were definitely put to good use. And that’s a nice photo.

Ticonderoga #2, an absolute classic.
Who writes with a pencil? Drawing.... Okay... But writing is what fountain pens are for.

My choice would've been 3 or 1 just by how they feel in my hand, but I got a new .3 Kuru Toga and god it's too smooth for me not to choose 4

- I like the Zebra.Got them at Dollar Tree or one of the Dollar stores.
A pen.
The GOAT
I'm a Pentel man but the one pictured doesn't look very comfy. I'd want something closer to #6.

I am a simple man. I see Ticonderoga, I choose Ticonderoga. I like ships and I cannot lie
No pencils. Let the record stand, cross off mistakes with a single strikethrough like a gentleman.
