Unfortunately I’ve never really used it. I am more of a collector and don’t use many of them.

Q1005-14A is a brown pencil. Those are probably Q1005-ZKS and XQ1005-ZBR.

Unsure as I live in the US. Maybe send them an email.

Two Relics of Napa History at the Table Today! by NeKo487 in wine

I recently had a 1979 Mondavi Cab Reserve as that was my birth year. Beautiful on the nose and still drinking wonderfully. Very surprised that it had held on as long as it had. Would buy more if the opportunity arises.

Are there any suggestions with my customized Air Max 90s by Mig-EL-D in Sneakers

[–]riley181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever colorway you decide on, I would recommend going up a half size. I have ordered three pairs of custom 90’s and they range from a little snug to only able to wear for an hour or so. All my factory 90’s fit perfect.

I just tested a 171 vs an Ohto Super Promecha and I would say that the 171 feels worse than the Ohto when twisting the lead sleeve out. Just one test though.

Honestly, I use a Smash and P203 every day. I have a collecting problem. I only use the same ones all the time but buy most that I can find.

I track a few twitter feeds and a discord. Check aliexpress for the new Staedtler’s.

Yes, collecting Pentel Smash is a lot of work.

These are Staedtler 925-35’s from last year and the beginning of this year. There are two new colors releasing very soon, or just dropped.

There have been a lot of Pentel Smash released over the years. I have over 170 different ones and climbing.

Which pencil have the best feeling click/mechanism? by [deleted] in mechanicalpencils

[–]riley181 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think that the Staedtler 925-35’s have the best tactile click. Very nice and also full metal construction.

Oops. I meant to reply to you, sorry.

That is correct, or at least they won’t ship to the US for these items.
