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.

@ottaross ooh, a mech pencil hashtag would be nice! I'm pretty utilitarian when it comes to art tools, but I do love my Sakura 127, as well as the Pentel twist-erase 0.9mm (great eraser refills!). Been eyeing the Faber-castell with 2mm lead but haven't tried one yet.

@milla Nice - I haven't tried a 0.9mm pencil - sounds like a potentially nice size, just a bit beefier than the 0.7s that I have trouble using without constant breakage.
