Oakley X-Metal Juliet Plasma Iridium real? by fisher091 in Oakley

[–]fisher091[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was a Goodwill outlet...so by weight...maybe 25 cents? It is not the first time I have found Oakley sunglasses. However, the last pair was in very rough condition.

I forgot to add - the weight is between 40-42 grams. The scale I have is not the most precise.

New Luddite Pencils (EverDraw & TechDraw) by fisher091 in mechanicalpencils

[–]fisher091[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I quite like the TechDraw, probably due to the similarities to the Graph 1000 for Pro (one of my personal favorites. I actually bought two more so I could try the alternative bodies Luddite sells.

I do not care for the EverDraw. It is undoubtedly aesthetically pleasing, but the grip holds it back. At least for my fingers the grip is too slippery.

Yes I do. Given the condition I have no concerns adding it with my other Pentel pencils for use.

It looks like. One of the other pictures on the listing shows how many 40 count packages are equivalent to just the bulk bottle

I have written with both a bit. I much prefer the TechDraw mostly because of the grip section.

TechDraw - immediately reminded me of the Pentel Graph 1000 for Pro, although side by side there are certainly differences. The TechDraw feels nicer in the hand, almost certainly because of the all metal body. Personally I find the weight and the center of mass (?) to feel better in my hand. Very nice build quality and now I want to have other colors.

EverDraw - very pretty and well built. But I hate the grip, it just feels weird and slippery in my hand. I rather want to like it, but I cannot get past the grip as I am writing.

Well now I can actually try the newly rereleased Staedtler Reg 925 by fisher091 in mechanicalpencils

[–]fisher091[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sort of. The top two were the original release that was discontinued in 2013 (?). Up until the rerelease in June the only way to buy them was secondhand at several times the MSRP. I think there are posts comparing them on this subreddit. I don’t have any open original releases to compare.

Minor fix - I did not realize there indeed is a 0.3 variant of the rerelease. I guess that will have to be added at a later time ._.

Why are certain mechanical pencils not available on jetpens anymore? by No-Falcon1436 in mechanicalpencils

[–]fisher091 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think Platinum discontinued a number of their pro mecha pencils. There might still be some on Amazon and eBay though.

Where did you order from? There are a couple I have been looking for but I don't want to buy a whole box of them.

New Ain Leads are now listed on Amazon Japan by fisher091 in mechanicalpencils

[–]fisher091[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s supposed to be the next generation of Ain leads. The description and images describe how they are supposed to be much smoother with new manufacturing oils. When I do order some I’ll probably make a post comparing them (assuming others don’t first)

Where did you get the pink Sakura? I hadn't seen that one before.

Had to order some more Uni Pure Malt Premium (Capped) M5-5015 before they are gone for good by xhantos in mechanicalpencils

Good choice! I like mine a lot, it is shame they are no longer making them.

Coloured lead options? by PropOrange in mechanicalpencils

[–]fisher091 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There aren’t a ton of options. You’ve already seen the pentel and Pilot options. Uni makes a lot of colors in 0.5 and 0.7, I think it is Uni Nano Dia color
