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.
Got a set of Koh-i-noor (0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9) in grad school (when years didn't start with 2...) This one was right to hand.
Also have a couple Rotrings which are most often my daily use: an older-style, black bodied 600, and this newer style one in silver.
I started with the 0.5mm Pentel P205, way back in the day, and still have a couple of those floating around, too.
@Cornellbox the Koh-i-noors are such classic engineering pencils, that would be nice to have indeed.
