Simple luxury – nothing embodies it more than writing with a beautiful pencil. Faber-Castell is the world’s oldest and best-known manufacturer of wood-cased pencils, and over the centuries has set standards. These include the length and diameter, and the grades of hardness, which remain unchanged to this day. The pleasure of writing and drawing with a classic pencil depends a good deal on it being well sharpened. But where is the best place to keep a sharpener so that it is always to hand? The Perfect Pencil provides a simple but elegant answer: just where it is needed, on the pencil itself, built into the protective cap that also serves to extend the pencil in use. With the replaceable eraser under the end cap, you have everything together in an ideally compact form and always ready for use.
