Yes, i always carry one. My favourite is a Faber-Castell Perfect Pencil, as it has an eraser, and a sharpener, also does the posted cap allow to use it to the very end.

Interesting. I typically cut all my pencils in half to make them easier to carry. Wonder if that would work with Faber-Castell Perfect pencil? How does it write tho? The Blackwing is SILKY smooth and dark.
It seems like they have different tiers, i mostly find the hexagonal pencil with a plastic cap, then there’s the one i have with the aluminium cap and round shaft which i prefer. And then there’s the fancy tier with fluted shaft and polished steel cap. They apear to be a B mine. I use it mostly for marking or a quick note.
Do you find old ones?
