Oh gosh, no... I broke through so many leads, no matter what hardness I used... I just can't handle the constant sharpening.

@JulieSqveakaroo @kobi_lacroix @chr @xinjinmeng the hardness isn't really about how hard it is to break, it's more how dark it marks on the paper--harder lead makes a lighter mark

I used to do most of my art with Koh-i-noor 2mm lead-holders. While you can get 0.9mm non-repro blue lead, it's far too fragile, even in a Staedtler.

@xinjinmeng @Felthry @kobi_lacroix @chr I changed to the red graphites from the blue ones... they broke less often.
