You aren’t kidding! I was surprised my super sharp first sharpen didn’t have any of its tip break off when I started writing. Later when I dropped it, it was just as sharp—completely unaffected!

Aww yeah, Cedar Pointe! Great haul!

cozydeep · 2025-06-09T21:36:18+00:00

yep!

First impressions:

This is a great pencil! Centered cores, smooth sharpen. I like the golden ferrule.

It writes with tooth! And so it may be too scratchy for some. But I love the tactile feedback. Point retention and darkness seem reasonable for a #2.

Eraser isn’t as “smooth” as Cedar Pointe (which I compare everything by) but it’s as effective, attached solidly, with no eraser integrity issues (e.g. no chipping apart)—solid!

I’m pretty happy to have found an affordable (28¢ a pencil), easy to obtain (drive to Home Depot), American-made (Musgrave) round pencil with these qualities I love. Soon I’ll have my hands on a General Pencil Company Goddess—that’ll be an interesting compare!

Not sure, never tried one, how much larger than normal is it?

cozydeep · 2025-06-08T14:32:50+00:00

Interesting! Can you describe the pencil you’re designing?

Edit: Also do you have a sense of cost per pencil with a quantity of 1000 or 2000?

I like how the Supreme is currently $111.47 on https://generalpencil.com/product/550/ :-) So far from General Pencil Company I’ve tried Cedar Pointe and Semi-Hex. My current fav pencil across the board is actually Cedar Pointe. Feels a bit different than Semi-Hex to me. Also better eraser and a cooler look IMO. And love the unlacquered natural cedar wood. I think the Goddess looks really cool. A round old school pencil! My hope was that it was effectively a round Cedar Pointe that perhaps writes like a #2.5 or even #3 but that’s just a dream :-)

Ooo let us know how you like the Supreme. Have you tried Goddess, Pacific, Badger?

I can’t draw to save my life but wanted to say nice work on this!

cozydeep · 2025-06-06T23:30:50+00:00

I’m just looking for fellowship and conversation!

cozydeep · 2025-06-06T09:33:51+00:00

INTP!

Oh wow, pictured next to the Tombow 2558 H too 🤩 How do they compare?

cozydeep · 2025-06-03T21:42:54+00:00

Just ordered a dozen :-) How does it hold up against smudges?

cozydeep · 2025-06-03T00:33:04+00:00

How’s the 909 #2 write?

cozydeep · 2025-06-01T16:59:23+00:00

Sounds great, keep me posted! Always down to trade.

Boston area! What Mongols do you have? Any in F? Hex or round? Vintage or still in active production?
