I know it's not a pencil but I bought myself a Lumos Pro pen from Tom's Studio recently and it's fab!  He also does a rather nice looking mechanical pencil.

I got a mat black Lumus Write for Christmas from Mrs Pcolbeck. I'm using it with the 0.5 tip and it writes beautifully.
I love that you can just refill it with any fountain pen ink.
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

I’m looking at the Lomos web science with the intention of making a purchase as a birthday gift for Ms Beardy the elder. It’s not very good web science so if anyone has any pointers on what’s what I’d be grateful.

Just tried out a "revolving action" Kuru Toga 0.5 self sharpening pencil and like it :thumbsup: Somehow the lead rotates as you write 8) They also seem stronger and less likely to snap than other pencils?

Wish I hadn't seen this!  ;D I'm now hovering over the Mini, though fortunately I can't make up my mind on what colour, or if I should splash out on the brass special edition... Maybe I'll put it on my birthday list.
