mechanical pencils

My trip to Taiwan this year was not focused on stationery, but I’ve still ended up with some interesting finds.

Although I like mechanical pencils in theory, I have a history of vague dissatisfaction with them; in hindsight, I couldn’t stop associating them with those moments where I got over-excited, pressed too hard, and my train of thought got interrupted by a crunch of graphite and a black mark. But the Mogulair broke that trend.
