Pens and pencils are back with a regular feature! How many different writing instruments could I possibly have? Enough to never stop making videos about them.

You can still find the "Old School" Pink Pearl erasers if you look. I still have mine an old one made by Paper Mate. They're made to actually erase pencil marks.
I will admit, I am a pencil sniffer.
You need to check out blackwing pencils
Thanks for the explanation about white erasers! My experience has been that after a while they turn into really mushy or practically fluid feeling substance. Trying to erase anything causes a coating being left on the paper and then even other color erasers just get "glued" to the same mess.
You can only buy them in packs of 12.
Love the cedar smell!
I'd stop watching your channel because I'm not massively into computers and engineering stuff anymore and have been more into traditional writing stuff lately, and just in time, this video! I'm glad I have an excuse to watch again.
Which manual pencil sharpener do you recommend?
What a lovely pencil.
Wow. I found this to be very informative. Thank you
I use pencils for note taking I am happier with them. Have alway been infatuated with fountain pens I just don't have the skill to show off their ability.
Mechanical pencils aside, my favorites were always the Mirado Black Warriors. Burn the finish off of them and you're left with the perfect grippy texture.
I have a vintage general’s cedar pencil with black eraser, works like charm, looks and feels like a million bucks in the hand.
I don't like to touch my erasers. Even the handheld ones. The white Staedler ones with paper wrap are my favorite. (Ever since drafting class in the eighties). The oils can sometimes really mess with them. If hand contact is made or the eraser is too dirty, I tend to do a sacrificial rub.
At least with graphite you don’t worry about getting lead astray. Not to be confused with a lead ashtray.❤
