### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well, yes!
*by N***R on December 27, 2025*

Love it! .3 snaps easily so if you’re heavy handed go for a pencil with thicker lead. Personally, I love how thin the lead is and it’s super nice to write with. It’s hard to get .3 lead in stores so it’s nice to be able to get it in bulk for a good price!
