I found a mechanical pencil to be an excellent addition to my fountain pens. I'm using one with 0.7 mm lead in 2B, mostly for quick notes that don't need to stick around for a long time (I'm using archival ink for more permanent things). Also, I really like that my mechanical pencil is about as thick as a fountain pen, which I find very pleasant in the hand as opposed to more skinny pens and pencils. Another thing is, when I wanna draw straight lines with my fountain pens and a ruler, I can use the pencil to mark where I want lines to start and stop and since I'm mostly using dark ink, the pencil marks won't show afterwards.
