This time, we have an eraser E-Knock Medium from Uni. I always wanted an eraser like that. I use mostly Staedtler Mars Plastic (THE best) but this is good too. Next it’s Bic Matic, a pencil we all have to have some time in our lives. It’s very old and very common (around here, at least). The other two are Pilot Super grip Shaker witch indeed, has a very good grip and something interesting, Uni Alpha Gel. The white grip it’s made from a soft material witch really helps the poor finger that squeezes it.  That’s it for today, but not all..

Faber Castell Contura and Pilot H-175  I don’t use them very often.. but I like Pilot more, it’s made from black plastic and has retractable metal tip.

Want to see what I use for drawing? No? Doesn’t matter, I will show you anyway. Of course, there will be drawings, not pictures. Actually it’s a pretty good exercise. And funny too. As funny as can be to draw straight lines without a ruler on post it notes (yes, I draw on post it notes). My collection of mechanical pencils increased recently to twenty, most of them from Japan 

This is Pentel Graphgear 1000, a veeeery nice pencil. Why? I don’t know, it just feels nice, It’s all made from aluminum and has a different feeling compared to a plastic one. The second one is Zebra Tect 2way.

Pilot Opt it’s white, big and has a shaker mechanism that extends the lead. You shake it and the lead comes out. Very handy.

Uni Kuru Toga is the most advanced mechanical pencil I have. It has an internal mechanism that rotates the lead as you write. Yeah, I know!

Zebra Drafix. First, I didn’t like it at all, I thought it was to light, but using it, I started to like it very much. Nice black color and a good grip zone.
