Are Wooden Pencils Better Than Fountain Pens???

Wooden pencils. Those cheap writing tools we all used in school and then mostly forgot about. And especially if you're into fountain pens, there's no reason to go back to boring, old graphite pencils, right??? Well, I've been surprised lately by just how interested I've become in traditional pencils. I often find myself using them instead of my beloved fountain pens. In this video, I cover some of the key reasons why fountain pens have captured my attention and why they are better than fountain pens...at least in some ways.
