    Looks like a Faber-Castell.

    If you like mechanical pencils there are some really nice ones made in a factory in Birmingham, UK called Yard-O-Led, they’re bit pricey though as they are made of Stirling silver…

      Did you discover them from this video? https://youtu.be/srixb98N6Tk

      I had never heard of them until yesterday when I watched his video.

      The nicest pencil I own is probably my Rotring 800 (second nicest is probably my two graphgear 1000) but I so want a Yard-O-Led pencil.

        Yeah, I’ve watched that video, it was fascinating. I also used to live and work in the Birmingham jewellery quarter and walked by the factory a few times. We’ve also got a pen museum too.

        I want one too, they’re so nice.

        (I like how this thread about static websites turned into a conversation about pencils 🤣)

      Cheers.

      Yeah, I know YoL, but a bit pricey.

      My fav is still pentel p205 for some reason.
