How good are Muji pencils actually? I don't have a Muji shop where I live but I keep seeing people using them and I'm considering ordering one.

Oh. I'm a bit of a bad person to ask this.

As in you activated my trap card, mechanical pencil trivia be upon you.

I know people will swear by Muji stationery, but I am picky about them. The Muji pencil in the previous picture is one that is extremely reminiscent of another pencil that is actually made by LAMY and specifically balanced for designers and architects. So that MUJI pencil that looks like it, I can recommend that one.

I rotate between that MUJI ABS Resin 0.5, a (vintage) ROTRING Tikky Special 0.5, a PENTEL Orenz Nero 0.5, and a FABER CASTELL GRIP 1345 0.5. That's 4 mechanical pencils I like using.

#60 seconds till mission begins rambles #I don't know how the weight balancing on the modern Rotring Tikky pencils are; the one I have has a metal core so its on the heavier side #Why do you gotta use brand pencils? You don't. Draw with whatever you like but if you draw and write a lot and your hands hurt #Know that brand pencils come in different weights and shapes that may suit how you are holding the pencil and are therefore nicer to use #Like how you can run a marathon with your street shoes; no one is stopping you; but your feet will thank you for wearing sports shoes #Vaxxman is normal about stationery; avert your eyes
