Staedtler Blacklead Pencils 2B (Box of 12)

Made in India …. Amazing product.

Some people like Blackwing (which are the only 3B (darker) with eraser, but they cost 4X as much for 12 and are a little more difficult to erase. These write dark enough, darker than a regular pencil, arrive sharpened and are nice and pointy, and have an eraser. What more could you want? They are priced for sharing as well, if you have an orchestra friend who covets yours. Mine has a cylindrical magnet in the photo if you are wondering, and they go into my orchestra bag for rehearsal. I keep one out at home for practice.

Quality product

Finally a pencil with lead dark enough to read

Very good value for money

Over the years I have tried every writing instrument imaginable to highlight scriptures and make notes in my Bible. Long ago I settled on a simple pencil because it does not bleed through and can be erased if necessary. A common #2 pencil is typically HB hardness but not quite soft enough, so I found "soft" and "extra soft" (B on the hardness scale). These were the only 2B (softer) pencils that I found. They are high quality pencils and work well on regular and slick paper. The seller was excellent in quality for the price and timely delivery. If you want a good pencil to make notes and underling text in a book and make notes, look no farther than these fine pencils from this stellar seller.
