I don't get why mechanical pencils haven't just completely replaced regular pencils.
There are pros and cons to both pencils. What do you love most about mechanical pencils?
I love that you can buy one and just refill it with lead. I also like that you don't have to sharpen it, so there's less mess.
The lead is a lot more fragile in a mechanical pencil. How do you feel about having to go and buy lead so often?
That's why you buy a lot in bulk. I feel like I'd buy pencils at the same rate I'd buy lead, so if I had to choose I'd just buy lead.
Is there a specific brand that you prefer for the mechanical pencil?
Not really. Although, the one I use now is a BIC, and it hasn't let me down so far.
Cool...What do you normally use them for? Test, work art? 
Usually for work. There's a lot of forms I fill out in pencil for my job, so I use my mechanical pencil almost daily.
What do you do that mostly requires pencil? Mini golf? lol
