I never liked mechanical pencils anyway, and I’m not going back. I never seemed to find the right size pencil lead for the pencil, or else the ultra-thin leads would break if you breathed too hard on it. In fact, I seldom use a pencil anymore.

So I’d buy the 6 paks of disposable ones. I think they came with 3 leads and I rarely could keep track of them longer than that.
