## Description

Pilot High Purity Graphite Mechanical Pencil lead

Review: Unparalleled only with the right paper - I have a particularly soft spot for Neox lead. On smooth paper it writes beautifully, on cheap paper it feels very plastic like. It is noticeably darker than other lead and will tend to smudge more than the highest quality lead, but no worse than mid grade lead. The same is true when erasing, though a good eraser like a Tombow Mono has no trouble. But with the right paper, eraser, and conditions there really is nothing as nice as the Neox. In terms of snapping it is about average. The longevity of the lead is a little below average. The price is a step above most high quality lead. But you buy Neox for that smooth dark line. If you just wanted a general high quality lead you should look towards Pentel Ain or Uni Smudge-Free (RIP Uni Nanodia).
Review: I love Neox - The very best mechanical pencil lead, you can do no better.

A: No, it doesn't smear until you put down multiple layers in the same area.

**Q: Is the lead made from graphite or is  ead since the box says graphite 4B on the web page**

A: 4B is a little softer and darker than 3B.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by A***A on 26 May 2019*

When I first saw the price of these leads compared to locally available brands, I almost didn't buy it. But you definitely get what you pay for. This is the smoothest, darkest (for the grade), and all around best lead I have ever drawn with. Now that I've tried it, I don't want to put anything else in my pencils.
