Koh-i-noor Hardmuth pencils

 Had been reading a lot about the Koh-I-Noor Hardmuth pencils... 

Interesting read about the company!

 Found this mixed pack of different graphite grades in my local store, Warden Collections. 

 Good pencils, for sure!

PLANT ME pens and pencils

 

Sweet friends sent me these in the post this morning... Plant Me ballpens and pencils.

 

I sharpened one of the pencils and I like it! Sharpens very well, unlike some other recycled material pencils I've used. It also writes well, dark enough for my liking.

 

They said they know the person who makes these (or maybe is a dealer), so I will definitely be making some inquiries.

 

Thank you, Q, Zo!

 

 

 

MORE TOMBOWS!

 My previous post spoke of finding the Tombow Mono R on Amazon India. Since I really liked them and others on the group were talking about the other Tombows as well, I looked for them. And voila! I found the Tombow 8900 available on Amazon India as well. So, of course, I had to order them. 

😃

Again, very satisfying. A very smooth writing experience, almost like a hot knife in butter. Sharpening it, ok. 

I love these Tombows!!

I bought myself some TOMBOWs

 Plunging headlong down the stationery rabbit hole after a hiatus.... 

Thanks to the amazing group on FB, The Erasable Podcast Pencil Company, I discovered Tombow pencils.

Most of the members of the group are not based in India, so trading with them is probably unlikely. 

So I decided to look on Amazon India. Pleasant surprise, found the Tombow Mono R there. 

I also bought a pack of Staedtler natural and Staedtler mark-2B. Yes, I prefer a slightly soft graphite.

Sharpened one of the Tombows today. The wood, is ok, not a very smooth sharpening experience, but the graphite! Beautiful! Smooth like silk to write with! 

Am really very pleased with this purchase!
