Have a Lotring set of pens 0.1- 0.7. But unfortunately I stopped drawing for awhile due to health problems and ink dried in tips. So if someone can give me a good tip on how to free up the tips would appreciate it. The kit had everything I needed when I was at uni pens mechanical pencils set squares everything and was expensive. Noodles for the next month  :-- no beer  :-- .

For erasers, my all time favorite for pencil is the Läufer PLAST-0120.

Soaking. Coupled with a little manipulation, but the 0.35s are probably toast. When I used them professionally the only way I got to keep using them reliably was to, er, use them. And clean 'em out good before they dried if I stopped using them.

(Hope you're trying to get them going because your health has improved!)

Way back when I was a high school and university, I preferred a fountain pen, especially when solving mathematical problems. It gave the maths an image of beauty like poetry. Nothing nicer than a "QED" written using a fountain pen. In those days, you could buy left hand nibs that were slightly bent the left that allowed a more comfortable writing experience for the user. To my knowledge true left hand nibs are no longer available anywhere on the planet.

To this day, I am an over-writer (write with a hook) even when using a pencil or a ballpoint pen, as are many of us older left-handers. The reason is when we were learning to write, if we wrote like a right-hander (an under-writer), we would smudge the ink with our hand as we were writing. The Israelis probably had the opposite problem.
