Some thoughts and questions about pencils and erasers:
My favorite type of pencil is the California Republic brand "Palimino". The right hardness for a pencil seems to vary with temperature and humidity, but under most conditons, I prefer their "B". The Musgrave brand pencils make nice lines but they are a hexagonal shape with too sharp a ridge to be comfortable to hold. I'd like to try the Pentel brand "Mark Sheet" pencil that is sold in Japan as a test-taking pencil. However, I haven't seen this pencil for sale in any online site I trust. Anyone know of a source for it?
Erasers on pencils used to work in the days before my paper supply became printer and copier paper. I've yet to find a pencil with a good eraser for that type of paper. I find that an artists "kneaded eraser" works well. Anyone know of a brand of pencil with an eraser that works on such paper?
