Faber Castell is a name that has been around for years and associated with professionals (artists / draughtsmen / musicians etc) who require a bit more than a basic writing tool.This pencil looks smart in its traditional dark green outer coat and is a smoother operator than an HB. Personally I find it easier to see on the page but evidently not as dark as a 2B or higher grade.I wanted this pencil for book annotations and getting hold of a "B" seemed for some reason more difficult than it used to be.Using it makes you feel like a pro !!

After using cheaper quality pencils since I got back into art last year, I had forgotten what a difference a professional quality pencil makes. And that is exactly what this is. I prefer to use the very black pencils (7-9B) and have found the faber castell 9000 series to be incredibly versatile. I am able to get a depth of shade that was simply not possible with the lesser pencils. At just a couple of pounds per pencil to me this is a total no brainier.

I was worried about buying this pencil because I didn’t know how it would be packaged - as everyone who uses pencils knows, they need to be treated with care.In the end I had to purchase from Amazon due to desperation and ordered 5 pencils in the hope they’d be taped together or protected somehow.They’re absolutely perfect. Each pencil came in protective packaging and I’m delighted with them.

Great pencils for sketching, you can get darker shades into really light shades. FC is a company that always produces great art materials. If your looking for a pencil just for some rough sketches, this is the one for you. It's hexagonal, which makes it was to hold, it sharpens like a dream and erases well. Great all rounder pencil and not too pricey.

Seems to be everything I buy from Faber Castell is good quality and worth the money. I seemed to be reaching for the same pencil with every new drawing and it was always the FC hb. Now it is down to a stump so I ordered four more while I could see enough of the lettering to know what it was. Its just a pencil but its a good pencil.

I don't know how you can give these pencils anything less than 5 stars really because they're the best ever. So much better than Derwent pencils and I live near there. The lead is harder which to me is better because it keeps longer. They came wrapped really well, like getting into Fort knox. Really pleased with them

I saw the program 'Inside the factory' on BBC2 HD last week, which came from the Faber Castell pencil manufacturing plant in Germany. I was blown away and just had to have one.I am not disappointed. The pencil arrived, on time and I even got an original box, which was perfect for me.

I have tried a variety of pencils for my drawing, faber castell have come out on top for me in creating true dark shades without the shine of cheaper pencils.They are a little more expensive than a standard pencil, but with drawing you get what you pay for.

A nice pencil, writes smoothly, nice and dark, shades evenly, sharpens well, seems robust. My only (tiny) gripe is that it feels a little light in the hand. I prefer a slightly more solid pencil.

These are the best pencils for my art work. They give a lovely dark shade. I will use no other brand. They are very reasonably priced on here, so I stocked up. Totally recommend.
