I love mechanical pencils. If you still wanna pencil, check out mechanical ones. There are loads of good options out there, including ones that spin the lead with each stroke to keep a consistent sharpness and ones where the lead is suspended via springs so it doesn’t break as easily, as well as ones with retractable lead sleeves so the lead and the metal pipe at the end don’t break when you move it around.
I just talked about this topic with a few friends and family members and they all cringed in response. Every. Single. One.
If you’re writing with a wooden pencil, the graphite snaps out, and the wood of the pencil drags across the paper.
Just writing this made my skin crawl.
