I've followed the #fountainPens hashtag for years as a bit of a pen-head, but as I sit here using my nice Staedtler 1.3mm mech pencil, I'm wondering where are all my pencil homies?
Is there a mechanical pencil, or maybe graphite-enthusiast, hashtag I'm missing? Do we need one?
Excuse the inappropriately-excessive number of tags – trying a few to see what pops up or gathers compadres.

@shoofle Cool. I see it available at my favourite pen/pencil shop (in Montreal).

@shoofle @ottaross GraphGear 1000 with 0.7 mm leads is my current go-to. I don't like that it's got a plastic part (the bit that lets you rotate the hardness display) that snaps if you drop it from high enough. It's also a little tall for my pocket. I do like the retractable tip and it feels good in my hand.
I've got a clone ("Blocky Gear") as well. It's too light and cheap, but has 2 mm lead, which has been fun to use.
