Lol what do you define as fancy?

Haha maybe "fancy" was the wrong word. But all those thick mechanical pencils with the twistable erasers on the top that you buy in packs of like half a dozen instead of a dozen... those ones.

Yes, they do that. But so do a lot of pencils, actually. I'm talking about this one: http://ctrlv.in/66001 And there's lots like them, but this is the most common "fancy" mechanical pencil.

Wow, I'm an idiot. It turns out those all come in .7 lead... For some reason I thought it was .5. Changed my vote to YYA.

0.5 lead works for those of us with unnaturally small handwriting. The only downside is that it breaks REALLY easily.
