Best/recomended lead brand

I need a recomendation on what brand produces the best lead for 0.7? I prefer 2B for the hardness, my pencil is a Graf Von Faber Castell, so i prefer to only use high end lead refills. Usually I use Staedtler, but it kind of ruins the lead chamber. Any input much appreciated.

I use the Pentel Leads in all my MPs. Get them on Amazon or just about any office supply.

I too, use Pentel Leads in my .5mm and .7mm mechanical pencils. Now for Drafting assignments I use the larger 2mm size lead. I use the 2H and 3H 'Leads' exclusively as I like a 'Hard Lead' so there is no smearing. Also with practice you can set a line easily and without indenting the Drafting Paper so you can erase and redraw without leaving permanent marks…..

Take care…..Leo
