Bic Matic Mechanical Pencil

Baoke pen
The pen is inspired by Parker Jotter, I wouldn't call it a copy but the design definitely has some Jotter vibes.
The body is a very nice plastic that has a soft feeling, giving it a more premium feel and look. The plastic didn't deteriorate over time, as I have this pencil for a couple of years. I do not use it very often, it stays at the office most of the time and I use it to take notes, sign stuff if I don't have other pens on me, or lend it to colleagues.
The barrel is on the thinner side, but it is a nice size for short sessions.
The upper section has a metal sleeve to give a more sturdy and premium look, underneath if you force it off you will find plastic.
The clip is strong and secure, as well as the mechanism which has a good feel.
The refill is Parker style, and it writes ok, no complaints here. The color of the ink is a nice blue. And I would rate the writing experience above average from what you would expect from a Chinese pen cheap ballpoint pen.

Faber Castell Shark mechanical pencil
Shark week presents Faber Castell mechanical pencil :)
Overall this is a nice pencil, not necessarily because of the quality of the build but because of the intriguing design. I like the unique style, the balance of the colors, and the aerodynamic or hydrodynamic look.

PVC in erasers, Faber Castell Erasers comparison
Even though the results are similar, the feel is very different.
The Dust Free is grippy in a nice way, not wrinkles in the paper grippy, and it flexes a lot, leaving little to no residue behind.
The white eraser leaves a little more residue compared with the Dust Free, but still, small quantities compared with other erasers. The residue tends to clump together but there are definitely a lot of small particles.
The Pvc Free green eraser seems to be a bit stiffer than the white Pvc Free. You can feel it in hand and when you use it. It has a plastic feel, sliding over the paper more. It leaves more residue but the residue tends to stick to the eraser (or not break off).
