0.3 is ideal. Firstly the size is not as breakable as 0.2 which basically will break the second you press slightly too hard. Secondly, since I'm learning Spencerian the other lead sizes are too thick so they often do not work well with my Spencerian workbook. Thirdly it is ideal for detail work as you can write and draw very small. Overall 0.3 is peak mechanical pencil lead size and I will not debate this as anyone who disagrees has obviously not reached the level of mechanical pencil enthusiasm that is appreciating the 0.3mm lead size above all else. While 0.3 does break more often than 0.5mm, frankly I don't care.
I agree completely. I just found out about the existence of .3mm (&.2mm), and now have several pencils for them coming. I got the Pentel Orenz and Orenz Nero - plus a Kuru Toga Advance in .3mm coming. I also got 2 big packs of June Gold lead in HB & 2B. Ever since I got somewhat into mechanical pencils when I was a teenager, I ALWAYS wished I could get thinner lines without such a dramatic eliptical lead problem. I'm getting back into self-directed math lessons, so I found out about the existence of and best pencils for utilizing .3mm leads at very appropriate time.
@@Pyrobite76 I just found out about .3mm lead. The 3 pencils I have coming for it are the Pentel Orenz & Orenz Nero (auto-advancing), and Kuru Toga Advance in .3mm. All three have a sliding sleeve that protects the lead the entire time. EDIT: Anyone want my large-ish stash of never-to-be-used-again 0.5mm lead? 🤘
basically what he is saying is that 0.3mm is superior to 0.5mm because of the size of the surface created from writing with the lead diagonally. assuming writing at a 45 degree angle, a 0.5mm will turn into 0.707mm (about 0.207mm wider) - wile a 0.3mm will turn into 0.424mm (about 0.124mm wider). because the 0.3 increases in size the least, it makes the line width more consistent because there is less variation.
Thank you for your advice I'm thinking ordering 0.3.. I have a 0.5 and 0.7 do I have to order other size? And what is your best paper(other than A4) that you can draw can you give me an advice?nice voice btw
My favorite lead size is actually 0.4, it basically only exists in Japan so it's a pain to get lead! Well it's actually not to bad because you can order online from Japan and stock up the lead. But you can't find it locally.. but I still love it cause it's basically the best of both worlds, it's still very fine and has a consistent line, but doesn't break as easily as 0.2, or even 0.3 could if you press too hard. 0.3 and 0.4 are my favorite lead sizes by far, specially for drawing small details
I disagree about the aspect of the .3mm lead running out faster as this usually coincides with larger writing in comparison to lead size if you write 5\3 times larger with a .5mm pencil it runs out at the same speed. This is an experiment that can be easily done with graph paper. I am not quite at the .2mm level of dexterity but I am interested to see if the ratio of lead breaking is equivalent in which case just means it's a skill-based experience. I quite enjoy the 3mm and am glad I didn't go for a self-rotating pencil as this should be considered part of the general skillset for mechanical pencil use.
@@hilmyakatsuki1665 for sure, the reality of material has to be taken into account aside the theoretical applicability of the material. The accessability of good quality material and manufacturing variability becomes esspecially evident the more niche a product is.
@@jakslayersyth yeah. For example Pentel ain(not the ain stein) 2b lead is harder than many vendors out there. Hence less breakage but still darker grade for graphite. This means it will wear down less yet more similarly darker like others. Worth the price.
@𝚌𝚊𝚝 No can't be. If you read my comment carefully you will see that it is undisputably. Therefore 0.7 is also better then 0.5. Quod erat demonstrandum bruh.

A mechanical pencil like uni kuru toga can make .5 to look like .3 by rotating the lead as you write
I totally agree, I was into 0.5mm pencils until recently I bought a 0.3mm and now I wish I hadn't bought those 0.5mm pencils.
Have you ever tried a 0.2? Pentel has a good one, its a wonder to write with!
my left ear enjoyed this video
Same hahaha
Wdym
Yooo..... Same ,hahahahahaha

Doesn't uni kuru toga makes .3 to look like .2 ?
.3 is best for drafting my opinion .7 is best for mathematics and lots writing. .5 is well rounded
I think .5 is the best on all around and .3 is best on precise sketching
IMO, .7 would be horrible for math... .3mm is where it's at for me, for math.
My left ear agrees bro.
ordered my first 0.3 today, cant wait for tomorrow to try it out...
how was it?
@@Pyrobite76 wont use anything besides 0.3 anymore. It is perfect.
@@TheMythogenic Wow i ordered two 0.5's they are pretty good but doesn't the 0.3 snap a lot and also which 0.3 pencils would you recommend?

Unless recent innovation of rotating the lead with uni kuru toga
7 minute thesis on why .3 mm lead is the best.
What are your favorite 0.3 millimeter mechanical pencils? Also since your so knowledgeable do you have a favorite lead?
Yeah you made a really good video MAKE MORE . Very good
Only had my right earbud in I thought his mic was broken
same.
The graphgear 500 doesn't get enough love, IMHO 👍
Hi there's a new uni kuru toga ks and metal, both of which can remove the problems of shaking.

This depends on lead quality and the manufacturer.
Something like 2H and japanese companies will make the lead wear out less.

whats the best mechanical pencil in your opinion
0.4 is best!
My right ear is lonely.
you’re so handsome
I prefer .7 because my eyes is old and have hard time seeing .3
I need reading glasses anyways, so I don't have that problem. 😏
0.2 lead better
0.3 is ok but it still cant beat a 0.7 which is the best. Undisputably
@𝚌𝚊𝚝 No can't be. If you read my comment carefully you will see that it is undisputably. Therefore 0.7 is also better then 0.5. Quod erat demonstrandum bruh.
Hey new subscriber here
A shame 1 and done
I would buy a 0.3mm if they sold it at stationery shop instead of online
