A Clear Dedication To Pencils

@JohnPhilpin wow. I agree with the Cedar Reds. I have a box but I do not like they way they write. What a wonderful write up. Bookmarked

@JohnPhilpin Wow! You must write a lot, or really like pencils.✏️

@odd I do, in fact, write a lot — and I do, as it turns out, really like pencils!

@JohnPhilpin Yes, I saw that now…😅 @rnv - I had to look up Viking Skoleblyanten, because that one could just as easily be Norwegian (from the name), but I read it’s Danish.

@terrygrier Thanks! Yes, I like the Reds more in theory than in practice, but I’m happy to support one of only three remaining American pencil companies left in existence — Musgrave, General, and Moon (which is now a tiny subsidiary of a massive conglomerate, and doesn’t seem to have any website I can find). A century ago, there were hundreds.
