Wow dream pencil

[@greekveteran2715]

Very beatiful pencil, however it didn't work properly. It lost some clicks, where it didn't advance the lead. Everytime I try a new pencil, always come back to Faber Castell or in some cases Pentel.

[@PaolosNotes]

Yeah, the pencil just looks really gorgeous. Sometimes not advancing wasn't much of an issue for me, but I really wish the tip was retractable. It's got a nice weight but that doesn't work in its favor in case the pencil drops. I keep thinking that I'll eventually break it out of carelessness.
Pentels are always nice. What Faber Castel pencils do you come back to? Any specific models? I have a bunch of cheap mechanical pencils from Faber-Castell, but what I want to get from them at the moment are clutch pencils.

@@PaolosNotes I mainly use mechanicals for drawing/sketching but I also use them for writing. The Faber Castell TK Fine Executive 0.7mm, is great for writing. Has the suspension system and I've never broken the tip while writing! It feels way better wuality, than what it costs and it performs great too! I won't recomend it in 0.5mm though, because I find that Pentel pencils, performs better on those 0.5, 0.3 etc thicknesses.. I also love to death, their Lead holders (TK 9400 and 4600). The Executive 0.7mm, especially when I remove the clip which is great, however, it becomes the most comfortable, and the most enjoing pencil for writng, than any other I have use! If you like Pentel P200, then the Executive will feel like a Mercedes in your hands!! way better quality and feel!

I haven't tried .7mm pencils, I often use .5 then jump to 2mm. I don't think I need anything more precise than .5, and I really like the flexibility of the 2mm leads. I mostly use pencils for drawing, but some mechanical pencils just give me the urge to write. I certainly love the Pentel P200 series, so I'll add the Executive to my to buy list.
Since you mentioned sketching--do you also use Faber-Castell leads or do you load it up with something else?
