Do you use a mechanical pencil or a regular wooden one?

I prefer mechanical....regular pencils are just too dull.

I love the way pencils write.. So much nicer than a pen. more of a natural feeling. I prefer writing w/ a wooden one that is just sharpened, but they're a pain to keep that way.

anything will do as long as there is an eraser on the other end. using a seperate eraser is a pain in the ass.

Mechanical, Staedtler Drafting, 0.5mm, 3H lead (hardest in stock at the store, "#2" is 2B or HB). The thing is never dull. Unfortunately I have to keep a mechanical pencil with HB lead in it for those stupid scantrons.
