Review: one of the best color pencils! Artist and true professional grade - Beautiful simply one of the best color pencils! Artist and true professional grade and lightfast quality you can rely on. This 60 count set offers enough variety with plenty of colors choices for a starter set though I highly recommended the full set! They feel great in the hand, cores are strong and points deliver fine detail without breaking.
Review: They are worth the splurge, zero regrets. - I was skeptical of these pencils because many in the online art and coloring community seem to think they are among the best colored pencil lines you can buy. Was there really a difference between more expensive pencils and some of the cheaper sets? Well after buying and trying them, I'm pleased to say that the hype is real. The color application is smooth, even, and incredibly layerable . They are a pleasure to use, because they are nicely designed, looking and feeling premium in the hand. I believe these pencils do well on lightfast tests as well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Expensive, but worth it!
*by A***R on April 28, 2016*

I love these oil-based professional colored pencils. They glide on easily, have vibrant colors, and are easy to blend. The leads are long lasting. The applied color has good light-fastness. The set of sixty pencils gives you a good selection of colors, and with its superior blending capability, the color palette you can create is endless. Another bonus I find with the Faber Castel pencil line is that the colors are consistent across products. This means that the color names and pigments for the Polychromos oil pencils are the same as those for their Albrecht Durer watercolor pencils. The set, packaged in a metal tin, arrived in perfect shape. For those who are considering purchasing the wax-based Prismacolor Premier colored pencils, which cost less than the Polychromos, I'll provide a little comparison here, since I own both. There have been many complaints about product control with the Mexico-manufactured Prismacolors. Lead breakage is a problem, especially if you drop a pencil. This is because the lead is not glued to the wood. The barrels may be chipped or warped. The lead cores are sometimes off-center too. But in the German-manufactured Polychromos, quality control is excellent, the lead is attached firmly to the wood, and I have experienced no lead breakage or other anomalies. The Prismacolor pencils have softer leads than the Polychromos and wear down far faster. That being said, I enjoy using both brands of pencil. They both have bright colors, and they even blend together well. If I have to give any negative comment, it's that the Polychromos pencils (and the Prismacolors as well) have round barrels, so they roll around on a table easily. A hexagonal shape would have been better not only to control the roll but also to hold them more firmly. But that's such a minor complaint that it doesn't detract from my five-star rating.
