there's literally nothing wrong with zebra
they're fine
i've bought pencils that cost multiple times more than that thing and I still write with my trusty zebra
>>
>>51633831
This desu.
Had a Zebra (can't remember the model) made of black plastic and with a circular piece that indicated the type of graphite (HB and so on) and it was just fine. Using pic related (0.3mm and 0.5mm), best mechanical pencil available on my shitty country.

the crank sharpener is pretty much a mandatory accessory, however - that is unless you like getting graphite smears all over your everything

A friend of mine lend my his Caran d'Ache mechanical pencil with a similar graphite. Seem stupid but it's very comfy (more than a 0.3mm) to use. Cons is that I always get my hand dirty and graphite's less common than 0.5mm HB.

Why do you have to state that in every pen threads? We don't say "phones are tech" in phone threads. Are pens really tech? Banned maDafaFAFAKKAAAAAALALALAL!!!

I love the cheap zebras, but my issue with them is that eventually the clip starts to bend out of shape. Last time I saw one of these threads, people posted a bunch of weeb pencils that did all sorts of shit like automatically rotating the lead and stuff.

>>51634657

Does 0.9 ever feel too thick? Do you need to be constantly aware of rotating the pencil to keep the point? I like 0.5 because I feel like the sharpness is irrelevant.

thicker lead just feels smoother then writing and sketching, also the heaviness and metalic shell really adds to the general feel

>>51635786
the lead rotating kuru togas are just a meme
if you're actually do any significant amount of writing the barrel play will just get in the way.
Plus, most people already subconsciously rotate the lead anyway.

pretty sure it is
it just feels like a decent mechanical pencil now that i look back on it
ive been using a silver one for school work and it doesnt really 'feel' better and the barrel doesnt turn most of the time as i can see the lead getting a slant on it
thinking of getting a nice rotring to see how that feels
this zebra i got the other day is nice too. just bought a 402 off amazon to switch out the clicker so its all metal. may try out a space pen refill to see what thats like too
