Review on πŸ–ŠοΈ Faber-Castell Perfect Pencil Set - Castell 9000, 3 Count Refills, #2 Lead Pencil, Sharpener & Pencil Extender by Jennifer Roberts

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect for my work

I have these for a very specific purpose and they look like they will do the job perfectly! I am an artist and expect to use them to sketch my preliminary compositions and study costs. I usually do this on a 4x5 or 6x8 album or even blank index cards. I will also use them to draw my outlines on the artboard. The pens that come with it are B hardness, which is ideal as it allows me to draw the wide range of values I need with one pen. The pencil cap protects the tip and also contains a very good pencil sharpener that slides out of the top of the cap. When the pencil gets shorter, the cap can also serve as an extension. The pencils are standard diameter so I can use any capped crayon assembly once they run out. The pins included in the set are shorter than the standard pins, so the assembly with the cap installed is a standard length. Faber-Castell is a manufacturer of quality drawing pencils and they are no exception. It's very convenient for me to have everything I need in one compact kit! The only thing I need is a way to hold the pencil shavings, so I'll be keeping a ziplock bag in my kit. I am very happy with this pencil set! It's already in my drawing material.

Pros
  • Pencil Sharpener
Cons
  • Not as thick as the others
