Best choice in handwriting

By MT

from Piscataway, NJ

Pros

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about Faber-Castell 9000 Pencils:

I am a student and I write my notes with this product everyday. Frankly, I will say it is definitely one of the best pencils over decades.

First, the performance of the pigment core is excellent. Being smooth on most kinds of paper while writing, and lines drew are uniform and beautiful. The wooden shell is made of very high quality. I used other pencils before. When I were sharpening a pencil, it always happened that the wooden shell generates small cracks somewhere near the core, which is certainly a flaw in supporting the core. However, it never happens to Faber Castle Castell 9000, not even once.

I highly recommend this product to those who enjoy handwriting. You will love it after using it. Try 3B or 4B first.

Comments about Faber-Castell 9000 Pencils:

I am a writer. I use pencils to write drafts, to edit, and to take notes. A smooth, consistent write out is very important to me. For decades, I have found the Faber-Castell 9000 HB pencil to be the best pencil for my purposes.

Best pencil for serious artists

Comments about Faber-Castell 9000 Pencils:

When I want to do a serious graphite drawing, I always use Faber Castell pencils. I bought this batch to use in a workshop I am teaching at my church. These are the same brand of pencils my instructor told me to use when I got my art degree 30 years ago and they are still my favorite pencil!

Not the best

By shutterspeed

Pros

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about Faber-Castell 9000 Pencils:

Although most high quality pencils are close in comparison, I would have to say that these pencils are not as good as the tombow line. Tombows are the best pencils I have ever used over the course of my 30 year career as a portrait artist.

Best Graphite Pencils I have Used

By Sarah

from NY

Pros

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about Faber-Castell 9000 Pencils:

I have tried MANY brands of pencils, and Faber-Castell has been my favorite. I've been using their pencils for a year and have yet to have a single tip break. The lead is smooth, never scratchy like other brands I have used. They sharpen perfectly every time. I don't think I will ever buy another brand of graphite pencils.
