What pencil do you think is best all around. I'm a former Mirado Black Warrior but recently been goin to the side of Dixon Ticonderoga. I got the black edition Ticonderoga and they seem to suit me pretty well. Now the Paper-Mate pencil seems to be my least favorite. Here's my thoughts

DIXON Ticonderoga

A nice pencil with that traditional Dixon superior pencil scent of the wood. The eraser is very durable and works perfect without smudge. The feel of a Ticonderoga is overwhelming knowing that you care.

Papermate MIRADO Black Warrior

A nice pencil for the budget man. The feel of this MIRADO makes you feel like a warrior, A real man with out any worry in life. The eraser is not nearly as durable as the Dixon and doesn't have the scent of a man choppin wood. It's not the best but it gets the job done and done good.

School Select

Not a bad pencil. No beauty but does well and has it's own sense of well being.

Any one else have any recommendations?

 

if you're poor, you can use MAXCO, i received a pack of these badboys several years ago. i opened them up a few months ago and voila! i'm getting all A's... they work.

 

Ah..i used to love black warriors..they almost never broke, sharpened beautifully, wrote wonderful..

now i used mechanical pencils..screw pens

So uh..why is there a thread on pencils??

 

Yeah but it sucks when you run out of led and you didn't see it comin. The classic "pencil" is overall better.

 

wow.. dump you always put up the silliest threads.
I use Berol, usually a 3b-6b, not much of a fan of hb's or H's. hard graphite doesn't work for my style.

 

Im just wondering how you people know so much about PENCIL's! I was only aware of a No 2 and everything else.

 

B/c i'm 3 classes away from a BFA in fine art

 

ok that explains it then "it's an art thing"

I like to trace, lol

 

I believe the other two are talking about brands of regular ol' #2 pencils. I"m talking mostly about grades of graphite.

 

Yeah just the good ol' #2 pencil.
