Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

    Why good options you'd recommend in the $10-40 range?

    Kuru Togas for sure for their rotating lead engine. The Advanced Upgrade specifically is my daily driver. The Pentel GraphGear 1000 is also a very comfortably hefty pencil. Otherwise the Pentel Orenz Nero and it's auto dispensing lead mechanism is also really cool. Rotring 600 and Staedtler 925-35 are also popular pencils that I've tried and like, but I don't own.

    Wow I love this! When I was in school, you were seen as a cool kid if you had a four-colour BIC pen, but a amazing mechanical pencil like that Japanese one would have been much better!
