While these Faber-Castell pencils offer vivid colors and apply smoothly, they do have a few distinct drawbacks. On the positive side, the cores are highly durable and don't break or crumble under pressure, saving a lot of time on sharpening. However, achieving a deep, saturated color requires effort. In my opinion, there are more budget-friendly options on the market that deliver strong pigment with much less pressure—I personally prefer using brands like Soucolor, Kalour, or Shuttle Art. Additionally, I'm not a fan of the Faber-Castell barrel shape; the design makes them significantly more difficult to sharpen compared to standard round pencils. Please note that I’m not a professional—just a hobbyist sharing my thoughts based on my personal experience and coloring preferences.

I love, love, love these pencils! I have had colored pencils over the years, but these blow the others out of the water! They are smooth and beautiful in colors. I just wish that there was more of them! I definitely recommend these hundred percent

I love pencils a lot but when they were delivered I heard the delivery the person drops all the packages on the ground as I am sharpening pencils the lead just breaks all through it so I am scared to sharpen them now. Pencil 769 took a lot of damage. I gave a 5 Stars because it’s a good set so I bought another smaller set in hopes I get 769 in it. I love way the pencils color. I love not having pain when I am using the pencils.Durability yes it’s good I really feel it was the delivery person fault for the pencils being broken as I sharpen the pencils just are damaged. I think it would help if Amazon would mark fragile on the package box.

I’d rate the pencils a 5 on colors, they blend very well so a lot of options without a lot of pencils. Very good pigment, not scratchy at all and I was happy with how they colored. I did have somewhat of an issue with sharpening them. The pencils were impossible to sharpen using my Dahle 133 sharpener. It was just too difficult to turn the crank, the pencil wood felt too hard to sharpen and I stopped for fear of breaking the sharpener. I’ve never experienced that before with any other pencil. Not sure I’d purchase again. Edited: thought I’d mention these colors are perfect for coloring mushrooms and snails in the Johanna Basford books :)

I love the triangular shape of these it helps with the fatigue. Nice color selection for the neon and pastels, I wish there was a little more color range but it's still a good start. I also have the skin tone set and it definitely fills in the browns I was missing. No issues sharpening them (I use the Faber castell sharpener), they fit in my pencil case nicely, good price for what your getting. Not super creamy but still blendable and layers nicely, goes awesome with the 50pc black edition set I already have and there's no repeats which is great!

Amazing quality, sharpness, and color saturation! Well worth the cost, which was actually less than some other brands of comparable quality . No issues with broken tips or lead that breaks while sharpening. These are designed to LAST!!

I love these pencils. I have the Goldfaber and Polychromos but these are more fun. Cheaper than other offerings mentioned because they are made in Brazil. They lay down wonderfully. The cons: Very hard to manually sharpen. I used a KUM sharpener and wore a blister on my finger from sharpening. The wood is extremely hard splintering off while sharpening and coupled with the odd triangular shape is a big con. As for the color Asst. There way too many blues and greens and less earth tones and yellows. Faber needs to work on improvements in that area IMHO. Still I love these pencils as they have a prismalike feel but slightly firmer. As for the set had four tips broken off from shipping. That was Amazons cheap prime packaging. It was a miracle the rest were ok. Still all in all I recommend these for coloring and with an electric sharpening with an auto stop. Someone with a weak hand strength would have a very hard Tim with them. I have strong hands and still was a bit of a pain in that area. 5 stars for the actual pencil usage - 2 stars for the cons = 3 stars overall

My wife likes them. They sharpen easily, don't break, and are soft so they lay down and blend well.

Loved the colour range and ease of sharpening. They don't break so easily.

Bewährte Qualität. top Farben, in der Rolle immer gut geordnet.

sono bellissime matite colorare!

Just swatched the colours and they are lovely. Very pleased. Soft to use. Only used of cheap paper so far but they feel pleasurable in use. I liked some of the Crayola skin colours but they were hard and scratchy and thus stayed in their box. Wondering if a full set of Black Edition colours needs to be put on my wish list? I was pleasantly surprised how nice this set is and how the colours go so well together.

son plus gras, ils permettent de donner un effet sur un coloriage déjà fait. très bon rendu. Juste un bémol du fait que le crayon soit triangulaire la mine est plus fragile à la taille de celle ci
