Highlights
Quality
Smooth and solid-very high quality without loss from batch to batch.
Writes good and dark, doesn’t break easily.
5 mm pencil, which is nothing against this lead because i would have 0.
5mm for many years, as well, but 0.
Price
Easy to find and inexpensive on amazon.
I personally think b is the best and this was a good value for it.
Shipping
The free shipping with a prime trial sealed the deal.
My order arrived right on time and in perfect condition.
Items arrive when promised and were as advertised.
The wait was not as long as they said, but maybe i just got lucky.
Packaging/appearance
Excelent packaging and led was shat youd expect but the only source was from jspan and the wait was nearly 2 months
Competitiveness
Much darker and softer to write with compared to pentel super polymer lead that can be had in most stores.
Writes smooth and dark enough, erases surprisingly well, but the lead breaks more often and than some other 2b brands i have tried.
