Join the Dark Side: Grades of Pencil Graphite from HB to 4B — The Gentleman Stationer
Today I look at grades of soft graphite, ranging from HB to 4B, which are the pencils I use for most of my daily writing. I actually prefer a darker, smoother writing experience, even if I have to accept a degree of smearing and more frequent sharpening. I also talk about some of my favorite pencils.
Exploring a wide range of modern and vintage writing implements, and how to incorporate them into modern life, with a focus on fountain pens, fountain pen inks, woodcase pencils, and other quality stationery products (especially paper).
