I love creative things - pens, paintbrushes, paper, canvas, and yes, even pencils. In the world of pencil junkies there has been a bit of a withdrawal issue since the cessation of the Eberhard Faber Blackwing 602, the formerly indisputable “finest pencil in the world” - now a very expensive commodity since being cancelled in 1998. Check out this review. It looks like the fine-pencil-guard’s salvation comes from the California Republic Palomino: HB & 2B (both grades.) Anyway, if you are looking for theses superior pencils, I’d suggest checking out their store on e-bay! I can’t wait to get some! (via boing-boing!)
