Alright so it might be a little nerdy to dedicate an entire post to a pencil…but I’m doing it anyway. The Sharpie Liquid Pencil is no ordinary pencil: it’s more pencil/pen/sharpie transformer than your regular No. 2. While I haven’t been able to pick one up yet (I checked our Office Max this week but they didn’t have any), they are available on Amazon for $3.92 each or at Office Depot for $4.99 for a pack of two.
The idea is that the liquid graphite in the pencil can be erased like a normal pencil, but after a few days the ink becomes permanent. According to Sharpie, this new tool writes as smooth as a pen, eliminating troublesome broken pencil lead for good. This reviews are mixed so far, but I would give it a chance- especially for someone like my husband who uses a pencil often but would benefit from the longevity of a pen. Sharpie may have some kinks to work out, but it sounds like a great concept.
Check back soon for an update once I get my hands on one and give it a try!
