### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Lead. Seriously, Almost never breaks.
*by A***S on January 3, 2025*

I'm taking notes in my classes at uni with a Kura toga roulette, P205, or Staedtler 925 constantly and I go weeks at a time without breaking this lead once, and 120 pieces has been lasting me forever, I'm not even through one of the capsules of 40 leads yet, 11/10 recommendation for this lead, writes super smooth and softly as well.
