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.

This is my Staedtler 1.3mm Triangular-grip pencil by the way. It's nice having a beefier lead size if you're like me and snap the 0.7mm leads all the time.

It is funny when someone try to write with the automatic pencil with a tungsten carbide tip I use to mark the metal.

I say them "Oh, it's empty again! Let me recharge it!", then I swiftly replace the tungsten with a lead: "Here, now it works" 😄

@GustavinoBevilacqua lol - a tungsten carbide tip would probably stand up to my normal too-hard pressure using a pencil. 🤣
