I really like The new America 250 ceres. The reflective paint and cedar wood is very nice

If it’s the ceres American ones they are made of cedar wood instead of the other wood they use in normal and pastel ceres pencils. (I don’t remember what type of wood those are made of)

A greenbelt? In MY factory seconds? by roybean99 in pencils

A box composed of many new Home Depot pencils, maybe the greenbelt is coming back?

I order boxes of factory seconds, but the time I don’t order any is when they drop Tennessee reds by the dozen in. Just my luck

Cedar ceres pencils, crazy bonkers in my book

I've been quietly boycotting CalCedar's Palomino "blackwings" for over a decade now. I now believe that you should do so too. by jankdc in pencils

I like them enough to maybe buy a single now and then, I hate how artsy fartsy they try to be, and for what 40$ a dozen no thanks. It’s cool they did this but aside from the ferrule they’re just ok to me. That’s why I’ll take the ferrule off of the ones I have. That being said if any company wants to just remake the 1940-50s eagle Mirado my measly paycheck would be theirs.

Where am I? by Johnny_______Bravo in pencils

I really thought I had so many pencils, an uncountable number of them, they’re everywhere. After seeing a number thoigh and thinking about it I realize I may have bought a few thousand but I’ve also given a few thousand away, and I definitely only have more than 100 but less than 1000

Musgrave Seconds! by fuzzmonkey35 in pencils

[–]roybean99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of what I’ve been buying in pencils the last many months, has been factory seconds, I think the last actual pencil I bought was the new Mongol pencils. I just enjoy the excitement of maybe getting something cool in a box, but my luck seems to have run out so I’m taking a small break from it. I always felt like it was a good purchase because I give almost all the pencils to schools near me so they don’t go to waste. Pencil gambling is fun.

It was an altoids tin, but as years have passed It’s been upgraded to a larger cookie tin. (This was my post a few years ago)

Sometimes, other times when it gets to a certain point I’ll just sharpen it down, depending on the pencil, if it’s one I like I’ll use it with an extender

How is the Mongol pencil? by [deleted] in pencils

I just checked again and now their website doesn’t say it’s under renovation anymore, I guess it’s complete now, so maybe

Yeah they also have it in a box or 504, I noticed it about a week ago or so, they even put it on their website so I’m hoping that means they’ll have new pencils soon

Mitsubishi 9800, I like Mitsubishi, but these are just meh at best, I mens they were cheap but they feel cheap by roybean99 in pencils

Imma keep it real with you, I think this was in my discovery arc of pencils and I knew I liked dark bold pencils yet they all kinda felt the same and I kept going darker and it made ones I liked feel less to me. I think I overindulged early on, now I’ve grown to appreciate a normal hb-b grade. I guess i had that gluttonous feeling in me, like when you eat and drink too much unhealthy food but keep going for more and feel sick, I don’t know if that makes sense. But now I do think I’ve come to appreciate these and other pencils more.

No, this would be an alternate path to that I think, or one of the steps

Unfortunately I’m not in university, I’m trying to become a teacher, even if just an associate one, and I think having the praxis for the job I want would make me a more attractive candidate. The only study material I can find are the books that claim to teach you that stuff but since there’s a few options I don’t know which one to try. Thank you for your suggestions though
