Simple luxury – nothing embodies it more than writing with a beautiful pencil. Faber-Castell is the world’s oldest and one of the 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.
Part of the pleasure of writing and sketching with a classic pencil is that it should always have a sharp point. But where best to keep the sharpener? The Perfect Pencil solves that
problem both simply and elegantly: just where it’s needed, on the pencil itself, built into a protective cap that also serves to extend the length of the pencil. With a replaceable
eraser under the end cap, everything one needs for writing, sharpening and making corrections is ever at the ready in its most compact form.
With the Perfect Pencil, Graf von Faber-Castell has completed the fine art of "pencil writing", since it now offers all the essentials for writing, making notes and sketching. It comes with a platinum-plated protective cap, which can be attached as an extender and which contains a sharpener, and the eraser at the end of the pencil adds the finishing touch to this handy companion.
It is the ideal utensil for all lovers of classic writing. In short, it is the Perfect Pencil. The pocket pencil was already part of the Faber-Castell product range back in the middle of the 19th century. Decorative sleeves, which also served as extenders, protected the pencil lead and its jacket, transforming a simple writing utensil into a true piece of luxury.
