I’m an old fashioned girl who likes a good pencil. The humble 2B is my favourite – dark enough to see and easy to rub out. Was my favourite, I should say, until I tried this pencil today. Without doubt the nicest pencil I have ever used. The way moves across the paper is a sensory delight for the holder. Goldilocks, the poet, would agree: not too soft, not too hard … just right.
