Review on General Pencil 4400-12A General's Pastel Chalk Pencils: 12 Vibrant Colors for Various Art Projects by Carla Anderson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Disappointing in many ways.

Considering the price of these pens and the rave reviews I was sure I would enjoy when I ordered them. Unfortunately I was wrong. I will say these are nice colors but that means nothing given the main issue I have with these pens. they keep breaking! I've never had pencils (including other pastels) that fragile. Not only do they break constantly (with careful and appropriate pressure), they are a nightmare to sharpen. As gentle as I am, as sharp as my pencil sharpeners are (and believe me I've used manual, manual and electric sharpeners, all of high quality and with excellent sharpness, and yet they just keep breaking and breaking. Maybe I have received an inferior batch?In any case, very dissatisfied with this purchase.
