So I bought this pencil on Friday. Today I went back to the art store where I got it, and bought their one last stock of 0.35mm refill.

New year, new rabbit hole.

This is my very first time buying and using a mechanical pencil. Definitely won't be the last.

When are we going to get a Zento x Kuru Toga pencil???

It's been a while since you last talked with your ex-coworker. You think next time will be a while longer.

Im gonna start reviewing stationery, so heres a start!

I picked up a Uni Kuru Toga Advance, mostly because i wanted to see if the improved mechanism is helpful. I currently mainly use a Kuru Toga Alpha Gel, and absolutely love it.

As for the improved mechanism, it does just do the thing better (rotates the lead slowly as your write). I was pleasantly surprised by the retractable lead sleeve, something my Alpha Gel can't do. The overall build is sturdy and the design is pleasant.

HOWEVER.. i cannot reccomend it, as it has one major flaw. That lead sleeve i praised moments ago, has a LOT of play in it. The lead wiggles as you write, which is deeply unpleasant for a picky girl like me as well as making it harder to write accurately. I cannot tell if the Kuru Toga mechanism causes this, or the retracting mechanism. I would be interested to see if the Advance Upgrade has this problem.
