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.

"hi, my name is paul and i'm a writing tool addict..." :)

yeah. fountain pens and mechanical pencils.

on the pencil front, i'm mostly using wood bodied these days. the pilot s20 series seems to just fit my hand, the wood is non slippery and it's got some heft but not too heavy for sketching.

@paul_ipv6 hi! By wood bodied, so you mean non-mechanical wood, or wood body with a mechanism?

I'm a fan of old school non-mech pencils too. The Palomino Blackwings are very nice, even if they are remakes of the originals.

@ottaross

wood body on mechanical pencil as opposed to metal body or plastic body.
