    The regular DelGuard is my favorite pencil but I would like to try the LX version. I think ER must stand for eraser version.

      I don't really like the delguard line up. I think the system doesn't even work that well compared to the Pilot mogulair and Pilot Dr.Grip Ace. They are also cheap and very light.

    I'm so glad I found your channel! I'm a pen/pencil lover and I really enjoy how you get right to the point and don't miss any details. Bonus points for being a NYer like myself. My daily writer is a fountain pen and this is horrible but I've had it so long I can't recall where I got it and it doesn't have a manufacturer imprint or anything. I've been looking for one like it since I'd like have a second with a finer nib but I probably won't get that lucky. Anyway, thanks for your interesting and informative videos!

    Hey Sal, have you heard of the Norma 4 or Super Norma 4 series mechanical pencils? They're four-color mechanical pencils from the 1940s, 50s, and 60s. I just got one a few weeks ago and I love it. Look into them if you haven't already -- they're a tad niche.

    As a two-handed maniac writer (I've never met or heard of anyone who writes like me), I love the Delguard system. I'd given up on mechanical pencils years ago because of how easily the lead would break, but this pencil brought me back to it.
    Normally when comparing pens the differences are so minor, but this was the rare case where the difference was whether or not I'd use mechanical pencils at all.

    If you're not buying in Japan, the delguard becomes very expensive. I bought the type lx for 680 yen or so in Japan, around 7-8 dollars. Now, online, for me, that same pencil goes for around 18 dollars on average (on Amazon). Imo, at this point, may as well go for a Graphgear 1000 or rotring 600.
    I have the gg1000 and it's just built better, since it is more expensive at retail, but if you buy online, it's going to be basically the same price as the lx.
