Customer Review: Bluntly.. this pencil saved my life.
Without this pencil, my life would have been a smear on carbon paper. This pencil made it easier for me to correct my life without any smudges. It kept me sharp, life was no longer dull. It may be #2 but it is #1 in my book!
Customer Review: Doesn't Live Up To Its Reputation
Dixon Ticonderogas are supposed to be the premiere pencils to end all pencils. Certainly, no one is denying that ultra-smooth finish when writing. The problem is that for a non-drawing pencil, the feel is way too smooth. In fact, you lose every bit of crisp texture which is the hallmark of writing with a standard #2. For those who have no idea what I'm talking about, envision the difference between the normal pencil and a soft colored pencil. Ticonderogas feel like writing with that soft lead. And that's a shame, considering in other aspects this pencil is obviously quality. It sharpens with a nice even point (no off-center graphite), both the wood and graphite are not prone to splintering, and the eraser doesn't smudge or leave behind marks. My best advice -- the regular Dixon is not only cheaper but writes better also.
