Last year, I admitted in this space that I was starting to use pen and ink for more tasks — keeping a journal, my to-do lists. I still like my Lamy’s — the Safari and the Studio — and my Montegrappa Moscow Mule.

If I may, what are the Corner’s favorite pencils? The WSJ recently profiled the rather expensive revival of the Blackwing Pencil.

Reading that essay quickly made me realize that, just as with pens, there is a whole world of discriminating pencil users. So what’s yours? The Blackwing, or Musgrave Tenessee Red? Or are you into the Japanese pencils from Mitsubishi or Tombow Mono?
