pencilness: Sharpening
http://pencilness.blogspot.com/2014/10/sharpening.html
The simple things matter. Tuesday, October 28, 2014. We need to sharpen our pencils and there are a lot of ways to get the job done. Our image of a crank operated wall mounted box is a great memory but in fact I don't like them. They have grinding burrs in there that grind off a lot of wood and graphite. They make a lot of noise and you don't know when to stop. With softer lead pencils they just crumble them into dust. Not my favorite. August 10, 2016 at 7:54 AM. August 10, 2016 at 10:17 AM.

pencilness: Another beauty
http://pencilness.blogspot.com/2014/11/another-beauty.html
The simple things matter. Monday, November 10, 2014. This pencil is just a very satisfying beauty. Maybe I just like all pencils but this one is a real delight. I picked up a pack of two dozen for about $8 at Staples. What a deal. Very pretty. Writes nicely with a firm but dark lead. Keeps a sharp point for quite a while while feeling very smooth.

pencilness: The Mechanical Question?
http://pencilness.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-mechanical-question.html
The simple things matter. Thursday, October 9, 2014. I know that those who appreciate the wooden pencil might not like mechanical pencils, but I do. I think they are wonderful to write with and easier to transport. Certainly they lack the magic connection to the Earth that their woody brothers have but they are absolutely useful and efficient with all the feel of graphite to paper that is so sensual. This pencil has been with me for years and I like it a lot. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Is this m...

pencilness: Blackwing 602 Revival
http://pencilness.blogspot.com/2014/11/blackwing-602-revival.html
The simple things matter. Thursday, November 20, 2014. If the world needs a Hipster pencil, this is it - the Blackwing 602. It was a wonderful pencil that had a lot of acolytes extolling its virtues in its day. It has a nice replaceable rectangular eraser, feels nice in the hand and is wonderful to write with. The Blackwing - very black and soft, a great art pencil,. The Blackwing 602 which is a great writing pencil with a sumptuous dark and soft lead,. The Blackwing Pearl which is in between the two.

pencilness: September 2014
http://pencilness.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
The simple things matter. Tuesday, September 30, 2014. This is the venerable and excellent Ticonderoga pencil. It is great and readily available everywhere. This is the one you think of when the word Pencil enters your mind. I love that it is available in a range of hardnesses. 1 / B - (extra soft / black). 2 / HB - (soft / hard black). 25 / F - (medium / fine). 3 / HF - (hard / fine). 4 / 2H - (extra hard). This is a pretty great pencil and I recommend it wholeheartedly. Thursday, September 25, 2014.

pencilness: Fountain Pens
http://pencilness.blogspot.com/2014/11/fountain-pens.html
The simple things matter. Monday, November 24, 2014. I have always loved writing and writing instruments. For a good long while I was enamored of Fountain Pens and searched them out in the new and used market, pen stores and swap meets. I fell in love with old Parker Vacumatics and the 51, had a new Duofold, a Montblanc and many others. After decades of misadventures and ink leaks in my breast pocket I have now succumbed to the simple elegance of the pencil. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

pencilness: The Greatest Pencil Ever.
http://pencilness.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-greatest-pencil-ever.html
The simple things matter. Thursday, October 23, 2014. The Greatest Pencil Ever. This pencil is a game-changer. The concept is a graphite stick with no wood sheath. Some other companies have done this but not with such wonderful results. Behold the CRETACLOR MONOLITH 2B. This has a better lead feel than any pencil I use. It creates a dark line like a soft pencil but the graphite isn't soft so it stays sharp and feels sharp. It is heavier than wood pencils and has a very solid hand feel.
