Got few in my stationary case, economical 1 is the Pentel Caplet, then the Shaker 2020, and recently bought the Uni Kuru Toga Roulette.
Btw, what leads is good? I'm using the Buncho's 1 since my primary years. |

QUOTE(Clea @ Sep 16 2015, 06:55 PM) Someone mentioned Pentel Ain series a few pages back. Haven't tried it but supposedly it's pretty good. I see, will check. I like those that is really dark even without pressing hard when writing. |

QUOTE(Clea @ Sep 16 2015, 07:58 PM) Then you should use 2B, 3B or other softer leads. They tend to break easily though so be gentle =) Ok, will try other brands, see if the difference is worth the price. |

QUOTE(jchong @ Sep 17 2015, 04:33 PM) The darkest you can get is 4B. Get the Pentel Ain Stein - it's a very good lead and price is ok (can find it in Popular). Ok, will try that. Thanks  |

QUOTE(shea2812 @ Oct 19 2015, 09:10 AM) Then you better go for Ain Stein 0.5mm 4B. They are really smooth and quite hardy for so soft a grade. I do have breakages once in a while because I like to extend the lead out quite a bit. Thanks. Just bought that. It's good, just that it finish up faster.  |
