Anyone know anything about rOtring pencils? My 800 got jammed and subsequently stopped feeding lead, so looking to see if there's a better one out there.

I've used a 600 for the last 2 years and it is yet to fail.

how jammed can it be? open it up and poke around with a needle or something. the grip screws off from the body

Currently rocking a TWSBI 580 F and a Platinum Cool M, but I'm waiting on a set of 4 Jinhao 250s I got for $9 on Amazon to come in.
There's no real information online, but it's speculated that the 250s have #5 nibs, which are unreasonably difficult to find.
Anyways, I've ordered a #5 and a #5.5 to test and see if they'll fit in. If the #5 fits, I'm gonna order some italic nibs, a bold, and an extra fine, so I can get a taste of what I'm missing.
Have any of you rOtring users ever used the Pentel P205? I'm currently using a slightly busted one, and I don't know whether to get a replacement or jump ship to another pencil.
What's the best pen out there right now?

I used a P209.
Fantastic pencil. Tough, simple design.
Used it for four years until I came home one holiday and my mom stole it.

Pentel Sharps are great. I prefer the 0.9 for writing, I use a few different sizes for drawing.

For the price?
Around the expensive end, I would guess that the Lamy 2000, Vanishing Point, and the Falcon are still tops.
Midrange, TWSBI stuff, usually.
Lower-end is probably TWSBI Eco, Lamy Safari, and Noodler's pens
Bottom-dollar will always be Platinum Preppy. If anyone argues this they are Jinhao-packing faggots, murder them!
My TWSBI broke on me today. I'm going to have to email then about that and try to get it replaced tomorrow :(

How can you hate the jinhao x450 m8
>>51257103
The 800's are crap, get 600 or Rapid Pro.
Anyone tried the Jinhao pens? I'm pretty poor and living in Australia makes it really hard to get decent pens shipped to me without paying a huge premium for currency conversions and shipping.
Looking at the X750 and 126

Is mechanical pencil a meme like mechanical keyboards?
>>51262353
If you don't mind sharpening and having a lighter pencil, then yes, they are a meme. Aluminium ones feel nice though.
