Faber-Castell Perfect Pencil $275 vs $15 Comparison 

That’s really interesting! I think I would stick with the $15 version personally

Faber-Castell is a favorite, exceptional; Love your channel! ✍🏼

Have never been drawn to Faber-Castell. Their products have always seemed unnecessarily expensive.

their fountain pens are quite nice, always deliver

I'm trying to come up with a design for a universal pencil extender. Something that can accommodate a standard writing or drawing pencil to Caran d'ache, to Derwent Inktense to Blackwing. I've seen really nice brass extenders that I would love to have, but I'm not spending premium prices for something that can't accommodate the majority of my pencils.

Just got home after a long day at work and I was very pleased to see your new video !

I really like Faber-Castell 9000 line, so I am tempted to buy Perfect Pencil 9000, just for fun and appreciation. It is interesting they use shorter pencil then the usual 9000, I already use tip protectors and pencil extenders, so to have same brand one is nice. But for practicality, it doesn't seem worth it.

The Perfect Pencil sounds like a good idea for a sketcher. Personally I would go for the 15$ version and look for a good entry level fountain pen with a gold nib. On another very different note, I got a beautiful lacquered S. T. Dupont Classique Rollerball. Had someone in this Community hacked a refill to fit it? If so, which one and what you did? Thanks in advance! EDIT: The hacking of a Dupont Classique Rollerball Refill part.

If you like the idea of these but want the convenience of a container for the shavings, you might check out the Perfect Pencil III.

Oh wow cool pencil !

nice to see the dark mat again ♥️

The Perfect Pencil oozes luxury; if you’re comfortable with that and want it, then you pay for it. If not, there’re loads n loads of options. However once you’ve used this pencil, difficult to get used to anything else.

Great video. I imagine when the creators of the pencil sharpener part assumed that people would be using this in an office setting or somewhere that has waste basket close by and they would just sharpen it right over that. Just my guess.

The sharpeners on both are utter crap, especially if you are used to a sharpener like the Blackwing longpoint. I don’t understand how Faber-castell can get away with that on the deluxe version. The green B pencils are lighter in graphite darkness than a B pencil should be. The premium pencils are much, much better. But the cost is obscene. Neither of the pencils is as good as a Blackwing or standard Japanes😊e pencil. This is an example of conspicuous consumption.

I just checked these on amazon and, honestly, the 179 dollar price tag is not bad compared to 45 bucks for 5 pencils xD

Can the sharpener blade o the Platinum Perfect Pencil be replaced?

The number one example of "wtf" marketing... actually no, the REFILLS for the premium perfect pencil are number one. Every purchase should require a mandatory donation to a charity.

for that price I'd go for a pilot h-2005 lol, though different people like different things.

A Von Graf Perfect Pencil special version was offered to B.Obama once - € 400 model - when visiting the EU institutions as a gift...(Durão Barroso) Derwent has 2 metal tubes extenders for € 8...

The pencil is decent, nowhere near the best. The sharpener isn't the best either. I've also owned both and can say they are definitely a PASS.

LOL.

Overpriced cap

Things aren't as good as they were made before, my preffered brand, Rotring has become pretty much a copy and paste of other companies. Sure they make decent drafting mechanical pencils but they do not make anymore cad equipment such as NC scribers, or larger NC plotters or any drafting equipment part few for schools. They really dropped out of the cad market. Oh and they used to make airbrushes and compressors, probably a copy and paste of other brands but at least it was good back then. They also made drafting machines and a computer, judging from their heritage page, or maybe it was just a stick on a different brand equipment, either way I have realised this extremely quickly since I have gotten their 1928 Limited Edition Fountain Pen, things aren't as good as they were made back then.
