Congrats! How is the new 'Pentel Ain' B lead? Were you able to 'sense' any difference?


ker1ms

Thanks! It's really good. Smoother than regular Ain B and Uni Nanodia.

Is it more smudgy too, like Neox?


ker1ms

Not as smudge as Neox but yeah

I’m very interested to know if the silver version has a seam line running through the printed markings…

Thanks for the link. I will wait for the silver to arrive in-store and try to pick out one or two good ones.

how about the grip? Is it good?


ker1ms

Grip is better than I thought. It's shorter than Nero but it feels really comfy 😃

amazing

Got mine today as well. (All four colors) Noticed that the top section is basically a replica of the Orenz Nero design. An above average mechanical pencil.


ker1ms

It's actually a cheaper Nero 😁

Main consideration will be longevity of the resin (plastic) auto feed mechanism. Also it was speculated that the reason only 0.5mm version was released is because the plastic mechanism could not support thinner leads with precision.

Time will tell 🤷🏻‍♂️
