Black Beauty Ultra dark Pencil Pack of 2 (2)

I've recently returned to writing all my daily notes (work and personal) with a pencil. Thus, I've learned that not all pencils are the same. So, I've started to research, read up, and consult various reviews. The Black Beauty Ultra Dark Pencil bought here on Amazon lives up to its reputation and hits the mark solidly. A quality pencil, light weight, great dark writing results on the paper, smooth across the page, good eraser, and aesthetically pleasing -- I love the shiny black lacquer. At a price point of around $1.22 per unit (sales tax where you live will dictate the +/- on this) it's an acceptable deal, if not downright good. Bonus for each 10-pack of pencils coming with a decent quality pencil sharpener.

O, my. If these pencils were any better, my review would not be fit for children! Luv these pencils! As I've gotten older, I've come to the conclusion that it's the quality of the little things that can make life so delightful. I got started on logic grid puzzles this year. My first pencils were USA Gold brand from Tennessee (very good pencils). Then, when I couldn't find them, I tried USA Titanium (don't recommend at all). I also tried Ticonderoga (very good pencils). Then I decided I wanted to treat myself, so I got these Black Beauty pencils and Apsara pencils. Both sharpen smoothly and easily to a nice sharp point. Both have easy to see dark lead. Both are easy to erase (although the USA Gold and Ticonderoga erase more completely). They also come with a very nice little sharpener (which I had not noted when I placed my order.) So, I heartily recommend these pencils. Treat yourself - life is short!

Nice, dark, and smooth. Eraser is good. Will buy again!

I bought my son a few boxes of pencils before the school year and for some reason I could barely see the writing. The lead color is so light that I needed.a magnifying glass to check my son's homework. Don't remember this being an issue when I was a kid and my eyesight is still 20/20. I went looking for darker pencils and came across these - and they deliver. Plenty dark and easy to see. I can't remember exactly what pencil script looked like when I was young, but think these are darker than the ones I had. They erase just as easily as a regular #2 pencil so this is an easy recommend. Will be buying these again the future when needed.

Works very smoothly and definitely darker without smudging but a bit too soft to write with. It gets dull really fast.

I bought these penicils for my Mammaw so she could do her different puzzles. She says they work great and show up really dark in her books!

These are great for kids with really light touch when they write. They show up fantastically on paper. They are good for people with low vision because they write very darkly. I love these for the classroom. I would give these an A+.

Perfect for sudoku Perfect for husbands crossword puzzles

Highly recommended. Very dark, smooth and shiny.

Ja die Stifte sind schön schwarz aber mit dem Spitzen klappt es leider nicht so gut. Die Mine scheint im Inneren sehr gebrochen zu sein, egal wie ich es versucht habe, die Mine bricht ab. Zwei Stifte wurden einfach weggespitzt ohne sie je zum Zeichnen benutzt zu haben. Gut, dass noch einige da sind, hoffe, die sind nicht alle so minderwertig.

Excellent pencils, smooth and dark…100% satisfied…

Pencil is good

Good product. Value for money.
