“This recommendation actually comes from my husband. Over a decade ago I learned that Will loved this pencil so much that he had written a review about it on Amazon. Here's the review:
Pentel Twist-Erase III Pencil
5 out of 5 stars
By Will Wallace on February 7, 2013
Style: 2 Pencils + 2 Eraser|Color: Assorted|Size: 0.9mm|Verified Purchase
After a lifetime of searching, I’ve finally found the perfect pencil.
I’ll keep it brief.
Grip–very comfortable in the hand, with just enough padding to fit very well with my grip style.
Lead size–I love a 0.9 because I think I probably write with too much pressure for a 0.7 or 0.5. I’m always breaking those leads when I write.
Eraser–robust, long lasting, easy-to-replace, cheap to replace, and it does an excellent job erasing.
Distinctive design–it’s not that I have to have a unique writing implement, per se, I do find that I’m usually the only person with this particular pencil. This helps because I rarely lose one.
Clip–this is detachable. I always remove mine so I can easily store my pencil in my folio pencil sleeve.I’ve probably owned about 10 of these over the past few years, including keeping a couple at work and a couple at home (plus counting those few that have accidentally found new owners…) I’m sticking with this one because I’m a pencil-guy and I’m pretty picky; this one is really, really good.

(Personally, I like a classic Ticonderoga #2, but you have to sharpen those.)”
