    Default I am off the deep end! But it is such a pleasurable experience!

    So...

    The Faber Castell has finally won! I argued with this thing for 3 years. The Perfect Pencil now sits in the collection being used regularly.

    I am truly off the deep end. But at least I am aware of it.

    It was on my wish list for ever so many years!

    Finally it came up on my budget and now I am self branded as some kind of pencil bonzerd! But that is not such a bad thing!

    I have the two less expensive versions, and I love them. I have been yearning for this one, but it is out of my reach. *sigh*

    Enjoy it for me.

    The ferrule looks so nice, it seams a shame to have to throw it away once the pencil has been sharpened all the way down

    But you don't have to throw it away. What you do is start a collection of very expensive sharpened down stubs! Those pencils run about $10.00 each. A box of 5 is around $50.00.

    Yes... a new collection of a different type of writing instruments is in my near future.

    Well.... I will not be shy in saying that you will not be disappointed.

    I love this stinking pencil! But I have always had a soft spot for pencils as they are. But nevertheless the Graf von Faber Castell Perfect Pencil is just that! Literally PERFECT!!! Really!

    I want two of them!!??!!
