Pentech Liquid Graphite Pencil Versus Paper Mate Mirado Classic Pencil

Even as computer technologies continue to develop and encourage electronic communications, handwriting continues to play a major role in taking notes, writing letters, and even leaving memos. As the yellow wooden pencils of years ago gradually disappeared in wake of the rise in popularity of mechanical pencils, the Pentech Liquid Graphite pencil balances convention and technology in its classic, hexagonal wooden pencil that "Never needs to be Sharpened." However, does the Pentech Liquid Graphite pencil out-perform its Paper Mate Mirado Classic wooden pencil counterpart?

Classic wooden pencils are identifiable symbols of education systems throughout the world. From learning how to write in grammar school to writing memos, taking notes, and even composing music throughout life, handwriting would be difficult without the perfect pencil. While pens and markers may serve the same purpose, only pencils can offer the silvery writing texture and ability to consistently erase work. The Paper Mate Mirado Classic offers a casing made of incensed cedar wood, providing an old-fashioned scent during the quick and easy sharpening processes.

Likewise, the Paper Mate Mirado Classic rubber eraser is soft enough to ensure paper rarely tears while removing pencil marks. With its ceramic waxed lead, writing becomes a smooth, enjoyable experience. In addition, the waxed lead makes accidentally breaking the lead more difficult. Like most wooden pencils, the Paper Mate Mirado Classic pencil combines ageless pencil technology with modern manufacturing techniques to provide a timeless, reliable resource for all one's writing needs.

However, along with the popularity of mechanical pencils comes the Pentech Liquid Graphite pencil. With its wooden appearance, the pencil looks like any other wooden pencil, except for the prominent phrase "Never needs to be sharpened" engraved on its side. When used, the Pentech Liquid Graphite pencil produces a thin, sharp, and darker color lead stream than normal graphite pencil leads.
