Faber Castell Pencil – 2B

What are Faber-Castell pencils?

Founded in 1761, Faber-Castell is the oldest pencil manufacturer in the world. Choose from the best quality graphite pencils in a wide variety of designs and colors.

What are they used for?

Their quality and variety of grades have made them a favorite among illustrators and artists. The lead, glued along the entire length of the pencil, is especially break-resistant. The Castell 9000 is available in 16 degrees of hardness, making it the perfect pencil for technical and artistic applications.

What is the difference between Faber-Castell pencils?

Faber-Castell pencils are divided into “H” and “B.” “H” pencils are harder and produce a lighter stroke, while “B” pencils are softer and produce a darker stroke. F and HB pencils are the midpoint.The HB Faber-Castell pencil has a lead that is a mix between soft and hard; we can say it’s the 0 on the scale, leaning towards soft. It is the most used for taking notes as it allows for consistent and clear writing without leaving marks on the paper.A pencil with a lead made with more clay mixed with graphite is a more resistant pencil. They are distinguished, on the one hand, by the letters H and B, and on the other hand, by a number from 1 to 4, with 4 being the hardest. There can also be combinations of the letters: HH, for example, refers to a very hard lead.
