I call San Jose home, but I go to school in SLO currently. My first .3mm pencil was found at the bookstore in UCSB, actually. Still have it to this day. I use it for fine details in sketches.
It's a great find, don't get me wrong, but I just want to point out that it has been around for quite a long time, but it just might not be available everywhere.
EXO, hush, you.
