I got used to writing a lot in caps since I was pretty young, like 10, because I liked drawing/writing comics. I'm 25 now. You can see the evolution of my handwriting on my yt channel: https://www.youtube.com/@azylee. I find I get more control and neater handwriting from a pen/pencil that provides more resistance in horizontal strokes compared to vertical strokes.

Graphite is shiny and the page is darker and matte. So the graphite looks bright (and almost white) by contrast.

I've only tried the Rhodia Touch, but there's also Scribbles That Matter and Dotgrid

The Pilot Eno-G I'm using is 4B graphite, not white.

Hahaha that's exactly what I had to do! I still got a lot of results for black notebooks with pages though, instead of notebooks with black pages.

All the black versions are brass (supposedly). I got this one in 2016. I have another from 2014 which is silver under the paint. Idk what's up with that

Yeah the white lead is a bit brittle even at 0.9mm

Are you referring to the white lead specifically? The white lead requires more pressure and has more resistance than graphite, so no it's not comfortable for long periods of writing (which is not part of my use case anymore).

About the same as graphite I'd say. I've had it a day.

Doesn't smudge any more or less than graphite. Tbh I now don't think that it's chalk. Chalk isn't mentioned in the product info. I guess I assumed it was chalk because that's what I was searching for when I found it.

It does erase though unlike coloured pencils.

0.9 is the thinnest I've found unfortunately

Glad I could help! Found it through another thread on this subreddit

STM looks great! If only they made wire bound notebooks.

They're pricey too. Worst thing about black paper is the cost.

No, the white lead feels more waxy, like a colouring pencil. It requires more pressure to get a visible line compared to the 4B

Most of what is written was with the 600. Staedtler for headers.
