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.

Staedtler mechanical pencil? Yep. I prefer a finer graphite rod ... 0.5 mm. And soft-ish, I want to see the marks, and I want to be able to erase them -- with my Staedtler eraser.

I have multiple red and blue ones. I haven't seen these particular models in the store lately (last decade at least). Good thing I bought several way back when.
