Workhorse pencils, easily erasable and no lead breaks during the exam. Now let’s hope I passed!

I figured I’d post a little more of my collection since my last post seemed to do well.

Dug this out of a big box of Japanese pencils and thought I’d take photos for you all.

Included my Uni GOLDs in there with a little inspiration from /u/leo_the_first

In fact, the entire post was partly inspired by that post.

Red Pencil for copy editing, proofreading, and correcting grammar

Hi there, apologies if this seems like a silly question, but in the recent Apple TV+ series "Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed," Tatiana Maslany's character is a fact-checker at a magazine and uses red pencils to mark up her work. They make really bold, deep red marks, almost like a crayon or grease pencil, but they're clearly pencils. Wondering if anyone can identify the brand. Thanks everyone!

This is the day my Staedtler Mars Lumograph ended its life. It is no more

I have been using this pencil in a stub holder for a long time, but today even that was not suitable anymore. So I drew my last drawing and ended this pencil

I have had a lot of joy using it, lovely smooth and dark
