(Part 3) Best woodcase lead pencils according to redditors

It's all-write.

Edit: Not a joke, actual link https://www.amazon.com/Staedtler-allXWrite-Woodless-Graphite-Pencils/dp/B00SAU8APE

Exactly, for some reason OP presented two of the pencils on a black matte cloth that is used for professional product photos. Right.

EDIT: Just found proof: http://www.amazon.com/Love-Justin-Bieber-Purple-Pencils/dp/B00BVSGMC0

$122 is enough to buy 1,536 pencils.

At worst that would be enough for every teacher and faculty member.

They're called the Mirado Black Warriors from Paper Mate, here's the Amazon Link but I got it from a local office Max/Depot, here's the link to that

Only about 50% of number 2s are deplorable. I find the Ticonderoga Tri-Writes to have the best handling. It's fantastic triangular shape gives it a natural anti-slip grip.

What I think you have there is the Seagull #2. Its rounded corners and cheap paint leave something to be desired. Total dog shit.

/u/rixtertrader did a review of the mentioned pencils, if you're interested.

These are called seed pens.
pine seed pens cost about 30 bucks They are made out of corn starch and have seeds in the end.

There is also Sprout a seed pencil. They come in a few different 8 pack varieties and cost about 20 bucks.

The Herb Pack contains basil, cilantro, dill, mint, parsley, rosemary, sage, and thyme.

The Flower Pack contains 4 marigold and 4 calendula Sprouts.

The Plant the Rainbow Pack contains cherry tomato, marigold, yellow pepper, mint, forget-me-not, lavender, daisy, and a mystery herb.

The Pizza Pack contains 2 basil, 2 cherry tomato, 1 oregano, 1 rosemary, 1 thyme, and 1 green pepper.

There is even a hemp seed pen for 4 dollars (looks sketchy though lol)

Erasers: Pentel and Staedtler make white cap erasers that work pretty well when the included eraser runs out/using pencils that don't come with them attached.

Dull lead: Long point sharpeners help, but if you want writing pencils that hold their points for longer, avoid Japanese made HBs (including the Palomino Blackwing which uses Japanese graphite). European made HBs/#2s tend to be the hardest "HBs" out there. My absolute favorite pencils are the Staedtler Noris and Tradition for this reason, I have a heavy writing hand, and so enjoy a pencil where I can literally get through an entire 90 page notebook on only one pencil. Faber-Castell GRIP aren't bad either, they just tend to be a little pricey.

Or, buy a harder grade, Ticonderogas come in #3 and #4 grades, I've used Mitsubishi 9800s in F and found them comparable to Noris in HB, and most drawing pencils will come in a wide variety of ranges. (General's Kimberly pencils are cheap enough in the US where I wouldn't care using them for writing...)

Cheap crappy short pencils are the way to go! Bonus cheapness for getting the ones without erasers!

The pencil war is won and lost on attrition alone!

For one thing, everyone should have a drinking bird.

This is cute.

A 4D Gummy Bear?!

Could be used as a weapon in case of emergency.

This is a thing?

These are just adorable.

Each of these could be... the next best thing in desk decoration couture!

Here they are on [Amazon] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008TQL9YI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_mKCgAbK8YATDR)

For hand pain and fatigue, fountain pens are good too. For most of them their own weight is enough to make them write so you barely have to grip them or press down. And there are a zillion ink colors that are fun to choose from. An inexpensive but good one is the Platinum Preppy...it’s like $4, comes with a large ink cartridge and the cap seals really well so it never dries out (just checked and the Preppy seems to be stupidly overpriced on Amazon right now, it should be cheaper at Jet Pens, Goulet Pens, Vanness, or any other site that has fountain pens). Pilot Metropolitan and Lamy Safari (Safari is pretty much the most counterfeited pen ever and there are a lot of fakes on Amazon so I’d order elsewhere) are pretty good “beginner” fountain pens too, if you want something that looks a little nicer but still isn’t too insanely priced. TWSBI Eco has a good reputation too and holds a TON of ink but it’s easy to put back together incorrectly if you’re the tinkerer type who has to take everything apart. Finer nibs will put down less ink and are less likely to bleed or feather on cheap notebook paper. Nib size isn’t really standardized, though, so there’s a lot of variation between brands.

I try to keep a fountain pen, a rollerball (NOT a ballpoint) and an extra-fine Sharpie in my bag at all times so I can write on just about any surface without killing my hand. Personally, I think ballpoints are the devil and I avoid them whenever possible.

If you need a pencil, fat ones like Pilot Dr Grip are more comfortable for me than skinny ones. I’m accident-prone and always breaking thin lead so I’ve started using sketch pencils with huge 5.6mm lead. I have one of these that I found on a good sale but there are lots of cheaper options. There are some good 2mm or 3mm lead pencils out there too. I got a pack of really generic cheap Chinese 2mm pencils a while back that are surprisingly comfortable to hold for as skinny as they are. They have a lead sharpener built into the back clicky cap thing so you can keep it sharp without having to hunt down any specialty sharpeners.

If I have to use skinny pen/pencil or a ballpoint, I modify my grip to make it less awful. This is how I hold pens that kill my hand if I try to hold them normally. It’s not a perfect solution but it keeps my hand from cramping up and my fingers from bending back as much for a quick note or signature.

This got really long, sorry. I get a little too excited about stationery things...

Here's a big pencil (44") on Amazon.

In case anyone was curious, lmao.

By "more" do you mean A LOT more? ;)

If it’s an issue with pencil control they have here pencils called rocket pencils (not their real name) and it helps the kids get a good grip to write correctly.

Amazon has them and ships to Sydney.
