Today, I use this combo: Staedtler Mars Lumograph HB with a KOH-I-NOOR pencil extender. Some leftovers from my Architectural drafting days of yore. We were not allowed to use mechanical pencils in the office back then.

Why weren't you allowed to use MPs back then?

The owner/boss wanted the drawing linework to have a more creative architectural look and feel. If you could pull two or three line weights out of a single pencil tip between sharpenings, you were already on the better side of the owner/boss.
