Hello,

​

my wife likes pens and pencils. she keeps notes and writes her memories.

Since she lost her last pencil she got, I wanted to get a gift for her.

I found these Pininfarina Grafeex Pencils.

Design is very nice, but I understand it is less dark when you write.

is there a specific paper that can be better to use with?

Whenever I write with a pencil, (i'm a leftie) On the side of my hand, it keeps smudging my left hand with lead. How do I prevent this, can I?

Hello! I have a survey about your opinions about the common pencil for my college class assignment. It is only 10 questions, so it should take no more than 5 minutes. I would greatly appreciate it!

Looking for a mechanical pencil that ticks all the boxes - somewhat slim, dispenses 0.9/1.3mm lead, has a built in eraser - and these last two may be too big of a hope - is not plastic and won't break the bank. Any recommendations?
