I am definitely a pencil kind of a guy. Traditional pencils yellow, or natural color but always wood. But I am not a hugh fan of #2′s I like my pencils very sharp. So with #2′s I constantly have to stick them in the sharpener. I hate to admit this but I have a electric pencil sharpener in almost every room. I am worried the quality of pencils is going down hill, I know the electric pencil sharpeners are of less quality.

Why pencils?
Because you understand immediately how they work, as for a slide rule or a music box.

A beautiful blog!

I love pencils. I thought I was the only one! I started collecting them based on their names: Integrity, Thor, Ravenwood!

Nothing beats a sharpened pencil for writing notes any day.

This is a wonderful blog. Thanks!

So, I like pencils because they always write in the rain or snow or cold. My only problem with them is they do not fit in my shirt pocket well. I have tried behind the ear, but with my glasses, it does not always work well…so I am forced to use ink. But maybe I need to get over this.

Tom,
I have the same problem:)
One option is a pocket-protector, but these don’t hold pencils without clips as well as they do pens.
General’s Pencil Co. makes little plastic points that protect pencil tips in pockets, and Faber-Castell makes a rubber eraser that doubles as a point cap for pencils. Faber-Castell also makes a product that looks like a pen cap; but it fits on a pencil to protect the point and has a sharpener hidden inside to boot!
Stay tuned for more information about this kind of pencil gear:)
