    New pale yellow barrel -- but still writes as it should!

    New pale yellow barrel -- but still writes as it should!
    I've read the many reviews here and elsewhere showing that the SharpWriter's been changed and is now really bad. After running out of my late 1990's stash, I ordered some new ones. These have the pale yellow band, are made by Newell, and have the pink pearl eraser, and have a copyright of 2022.1. As you can see from my test, the SharpWriter #2 is very close to the old USA-Made, no-longer-made Papermate Mirado (yellow barrel) in darkness, and in subjective "feel." It's not greasy, but it's not chalky either.2. The pale-yellow band SharpWriters I got are almost as dark as my go-to lead, the .5mm Pentel Super 2B. This SharpWriter's still on the dark side of #2 pencils -- and that's how I love it. The eraser is a Pink Pearl. If you get fresh one's they're very good, but will never, ever match a vinyl eraser like Pentel Hi-Polymer or Lion P-100. But it certainly does *not* smear or rip the paper. It's perfectly adequate.3. The absolute loser in my little test was the China-made Dixon yellow pencil. Ugh. Very chalky and light lead. This pencil's been bad for many years now, I just still have some from back then.It is entirely possible that a bad run of SharpWriters was made, and some of you got them. What I found is these write as they always did, even though I dock them a star for the dreadful pale yellow barrel. Bring back the mustard yellow! **if you do get a bad batch, return it! Let Newell know! Don't just accept it! ** Don't let Amazon know, they just sell it -- let Newell know, they *made* it.
