Staedtler 925-35 Lead Holder - 2 mm - STAEDTLER 92535-20N
  Again...No instructions..., May 14, 2012
By artgonebyebye
Again...No instructions with product. After fussing with the d^mn thing I FINALLY got the "shipped with" lead out and the blue lead I had in.

Hint...Unscrew the very front tip holder and plunge the top down and watch how it works.

I like it and it. Nice weight and ease of use. Once you figure it out. I mean C'mon. I can find instructions on building an atom bomb on the internet. I guess i will just have to go it alone to figure out how I sharpen the leads.

Sorry, JetBob but lack of instructions really irritate me after I spend $91.00 on a bunch of products that have instructions in only Japanese or none at all. Maybe that is why the extra $15.00 at the art store is necessary.
Uni-ball Alpha Gel Shaka Shaker Pencil - 0.5 mm - Royal Blue Grip - UNI M5617GG1P.40

This pencil is good! I use it pretty much every day! I recommend it, although the grip can get a little too squishy at times, so get the tougher ones. Over all, 4/5 because of the grip.

Ok, I know that this might be self evident BUT I DO NOT speak Japanese. Also videos showing the ink filling and cartridge use along with other helpful hints will keep those of us that want to try something new coming back again. Until then I will evaluate the pen as I use it...

that is if I can get the dumb cartridge on with out turning my fingers black. Now where's my surgical gloves?

Pilot Dr. Grip G-Spec White Deco Shaker Mechanical Pencil - 0.5 mm - Soft Blue Grip - PILOT HDGS-60WR-SL5
  I have had this pencil..., May 14, 2012
By Rac...
I have had this pencil for about 4 years now, and there are no flaws. I absolutely love it, it's one of my favorites in my case because since it is plastic, it does not get scratched like the uni ox-gel series. Also, it looks so sleek while you are writing. For some people that may be concerned about how squishy this pencil is, it is not nearly as squishy as the ox-gel series, however I find both amazing series. Overall definitely a need in all mechanical pencil lovers pencil cases!
Uni-ball Kuru Toga Auto Lead Rotation Mechanical Pencil - 0.5 mm - Blue Body - UNI M54501P.33

By Rac...
I love this pencil very much! I have lost it twice in the blue, and I am obsessive over the color blue, and my sister had one but is not as insane with mechanical pencils as I am, so she gave me hers. That was so nice of her! Only thing I would say that is bad about this pencil is that you have to have a certain type of lead in order for it to work entirely the way it is supposed to. If the lead is too soft, it will wear down before the rotation kicks in. However, the weight, size, mechanism, and styles are absolutely to die for! Definitely recommend this pencil, but make sure you get some extra lead; the correct type.

This is one of my favorite brush pens and I own them in several colors. Its fine line is lovely for working on small drawings. The brush is nicely shaped, the ink is quite dark, and it dries quickly.

By dar...
Nice solid Black. Minimal bleed. Almost no feathering, even on cheap paper. Is not extremely contrasty, and does exhibit some shading.
I do prefer a darker black, but for rapid journal writing it will flow. It just might be for you.
