Liquid Graphite Pen Views

General Goods

We updated the image above and removed the reference to permanency in comparison to Sharpie markers. To clarify, the liquid graphite in the Sharpie Liquid Pencil initially erases completely from paper, but over time it becomes =“permanentt” in the sense that it can no longer be completely erased. But unlike a Sharpie permanent marker, you will always be able to erase it to some degree.

I was curious when I saw these at my store this week, as I normally love all things Sharpie. I finally caved in and spent my precious $5 for a pair of these new liquid pencils that are dubbed as writing “as smooth as a penw”. Imagine my dismay when I started writing and the texture of the liquid graphite under my e“pencil ” feels skippy and jumpy like an old ballpoint pen that can ’t get itc’s ink together! I am so mad, Sharpie!!! I was excited, and now I am very let down. I have been using it all morning, and still, no smoothness. How annoying! Please tell me I got a >“bad batch.1” If the other one in the pack is no better, I will be returning these to the store and getting back my precious $5!

I was at a conference and got a couple...looked real neat...but it didn't work. Seemed like the liquid graphite dried up or the tip got clogged. Needless to say, if I had to pay for these freebies, I would have taken them back ASAP. The regular lead mechanical pencil is fool-proof...these liquid graphite pencils still have a long way to go.

These pencils were a God send for my 4th Grader. He cannot bear the sound a pencil makes to the point of covering his ears when someone is using a pencil near him. Yes, I know, a little OCD'ish, but he's mine and I love him. Anyway, he had been using a Papermate Erasermate since kindergarten, and this year we found the liquid graphite. Only problem was his teacher tried to say it was a pen and he could not use it. We went to the principal due to the fact that there is no written rule against using them, and now he is allowed. We are very satisfied with the pencil, as it erases clean, unlike the Erasermate. I prefer the Mirado Black Warrior, but for my son to find a pencil that he can use comfortably, I am happy. No problems with the quality of writing, it is simply a fine point.
