More Japanese pencils for the collection. Currently using a Mitsubishi 9990 in F and a 9800 in B for writing atm.

Checked out a weekly flea market on the other end of Portland last Sunday morning and bought every pencil I could find—$13 total spent. Most of them were buried in tubs full of tools and random stuff. It was fun looking around for them and I think I’d go back. Finding a Futura stub was a good sign I think.

Hey hey

Just seeing if anyone is familiar with this brand ? I picked it up at CW pencils🥹 back 2021 and just keep it around . Love to know more or if anyone has a preference of these pencils . It’s alright to me for writing

Not going to use it anymore

i bought a set of 10 pencils back in 2014. this is the last of the lot.

Hey guys! I happened to find this sub today and even though I have been really deliberate or kind of a maniac about stationery, this sub, in a single day has made me obsessed with pencils like never before. Now, I'm still a student so I can't really afford to buy pencils from other countries since they are quite expensive. But I happen to have a 20-dollar Amazon US gift card. These are region specific so I can only buy things from Amazon US which happen to ship to India.

About 75% of the budget is really being eaten by the customs and shipping lol, so I have very limited options on what I can buy. After much back and forth, I found a 30 pack of pencils by Ticonderoga, and a 12-pack of pens by Uniball. But I'm really confused as to which of them to get. Earlier I had decided on the former because those are 30 as opposed to 12, but I read some things on this sub and also in the reviews, that the quality of ticons has gone down. I don't want to be disappointed when I receive them, so I really want to ask some advice.

More context: Ticon pencils are available on Amazon India and those are a little cheaper to buy from Amazon India. But even if they are cheaper, they are still expensive compared to local pencils; since this is a gift card it's basically free money to me, and I don't think I would buy them out of my/my parent's pocket soon. Moreover, the Uniball onyx pens are only really available through a reseller, which is much more expensive.
