I wanted to try and be as inclusive as possible so decided to select a technical drafting type mechanical pencil for those who are into precision, and a general writing mechanical pencil for those who apply their graphite in a more relaxed manner. With that in mind I ended up selecting the Lamy AL-star 171 pencil black 0.7mm and the TWSBI Precision Fixed mechanical pencil silver 0.5mm. The very ones pictured below, that you now have a chance of owning. Thanks Cult Pens.
All you have to do is leave a comment on this blog post and say which one of the two you would like to win. If you comment anonymously then make sure to also include some identifier in your comment, e.g. "I'm Laura from SIU Carbondale", or "Call me PencilPaul". The winners will be selected at random on 14 July and announced on this blog. Winners have a week to then email me back and claim their prize.
THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED
Hi. I'm JP and that TWSBI is calling for me :)
ReplyDeleteThe Lamy AL-star is beautiful! That's what I want!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this giveaway! I'm inclined to get the TWSBI :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love that Lamy Al-Star!
ReplyDeleteTwsbi for sure. Love the reviews and your site. Thanks !
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm Blackbeard and I'd like that TWISBI Precision.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you came back to blogging, your review of the Faber-Castell Grip 2011 made me buy one and it's my go-to Mechanical pencil for writing to this day.
Hi Dave! I'd love the TWSBI. It'd have a fine working home in my wood shop, producing beautiful instruments and furniture pieces!

ReplyDeleteHappy Mechanical Pencil Day!!!
ReplyDeleteThe Hake writer here, TWSBI would sit nicely with me.happy mechanical pencil day :-)
ReplyDeleteThat TWSBI Precision looks awesome. Would love to give it a new home!
ReplyDeleteWell, I've already got the Precision - but that AL-Star looks good!
ReplyDeleteHello!!!
ReplyDeleteThe Lamy AL-star 171 would really like to travel to Portugal!!!
The TWSBI looks sweet. Hoping I can win!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Mechanical Pencil Day, Dave! Please exclude me from the raffle – I already have too many mechanical pencils :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, thanks for such a great giveaway! That TWSBI is GORGEOUS. I'd love to own one! I really like your blog, too. I followed a link from a reddit post, but I'm really interested in your mechanical pencil reviews!
ReplyDeleteIt’s a surprise to me, but I think I’d actually go with the Lamy Al-Star. I’ve turne up my nose at Safari pencils in the past, but something about the aluminum there makes the pencil look more impressive.
ReplyDeleteI also already have a matching fountain pen (albeit in a different color) so the TESBI would be a more expensive prize to win...
Twsbi please - PJN
ReplyDeleteI really like the TWSBI!
ReplyDeleteHappy mechanical pencil day!
ReplyDeleteLamy indeed
ReplyDeleteLamy for thee
Lamy me . . . Please
Matthew from Oshawa, ON. Canada
Hello Dave, I like the Lamy.
ReplyDeleteCheers
Well, the rational choice would be the Lamy since its ergonomics would suit me better.
ReplyDeleteBut hey, rationality is soooo uncool nowadays and while the TWSBI looks really good, I can't stand the design of the Lamy Safari family. So, the TWSBI it is!
Happy Mechanical Pencil Day everyone! That TWSBI looks awesome.
ReplyDeleteAloha! I'm Rey, hoping to add a TWSBI!
ReplyDeleteI would really like to win that Lamy Al-Star!
ReplyDeleteThanks for doing this.

Would love the TWSBI!

ReplyDeleteOne of my best friends in primary school had a similar-looking Lamy pen (most including me had Pelikan, some Geha, but Lamy was a bit showing-off ;-) ). So I would prefer the Lamy.
