Zebra Delguard Type-ER refils

I'm planning to buy a zebra delguard type er but i couldn't find a place that sells replacement erasers in India. Would be really helpful if someone could provide me with a trustworthy source to buy those. I'll buy the pencil if i get a source to buy refil erasers

I'm really new to mechanical pencils and just purchased a Staedtler 925 25 Mechanical Pencil with 0.7 lead but I can't find any videos on Youtube or any instructions anywhere showing you how to install new lead. WTH Staedtler!!!

Two of My Favorites

The 0.35mm has been great for drawing diagrams and writing equations. I started with the 0.5mm but always wanted a 0.35mm. I didn’t realize one existed until recently. It’s been discontinued so I had to find it from a second source.

Collection and Opinions

My collection as senior year computer science student.

Possibly unpopular opinions: Pentel smash: overrated. It was my main driver for months but the coating wears down way too quick and becomes a shiny plastic, had to buy another one after a few months. Also not that comfortable.

Delguard type-GR: my main driver (even over the dive). Just extremely comfortable to hold, grip is elite and weighting is perfect for me. Beats alpha gels grip by miles.

kuru toga advance: can’t hate on a solid metallic pencil for very cheap price. Though the grip is uncomfortable after a while and I can’t use it for long periods

Overall, Uni’s drivers are great and pentels and rotring build quality is good - but I’m a champion for Delguard, their grips are the best out of all the brands I’ve tried (the weighing on them might be my preference only).

Trusty MP

Been using this Kokuyo 0.7 on my projects like, wood working and tile cutting... No need to worry about it getting dirty or broken because it's very rugged. Keeps the job done!

In LOVE with these P200 kimono colors!!

I saw someone else post about these “kimono colors” available but sold out on Amazon a while back and meant to go check on the availability every so often but completely forgot until recently.

They arrived!

These may be my favorite colors yet!

(I do like the metallic colors and the clena as well)

So comfortable

I've had this for a long time now and the rubber isn't sticky at all. Need to find an eraser replacement soon though, this one held up over 5 years without drying up.
