Tombow Mono One Air Touch

 I hate using the erasers that comes with mechanical pencils. That's just me, getting obsessive compulsive about the looks of the eraser despite being encased in something as part of the pencil. The stock mechanical pencil eraser will only be used in dire situations only. So. I picked up this eraser the other day. Tombow Mono One Air Touch Packaging Front Tombow Mono One Air Touch Packaging Rear Main reasons for picking this over the trusty Staedtler Mars Plastic is that this is more portable size-wise. The cylindrical shape can fit in my pen sleeve unlike the boxy Staedtler. You can hold it like you hold a pen, thanks to the plastic holder, which can give you a bit more control.

I do see myself getting the more refined Sailor counterparts, but that will be for another day. But until then, I was looking for an understated pen design that I can bring anywhere, yet inexpensive enough to get over with should I lose it. I came across a display of the Lecoule at our local Pen Store and decided to get this for my first Sailor. This will be a stepping stone into my preparation for the more expensive Sailors. They will not be Pen Case queens. Sailor Lecoule in unopened box This is the Sailor Lecoule in Iron Blue. The blue is a deep Navy Blue that I almost mistook for black under adequate lighting. There are no gold accents, which makes it a bit sporty. Rear side of the Sailor Lecoule Packaging The back side of the box contains no word of English except for the "Made in Japan...
