I'd never have thought a site dedicated to the humble pencil and all its myriad of accessories. 👍<br /><br />Secondly, your profile is hilarious. 🤩<br /><br />Now to my comment.

I stockpile the Mars plastic when they go on sale during the back-to-school season. The quality is matchless.

I agree with you, they're similar, but I like the Mars better.<br />But rasoplast now comes in a "black edition" wich is pretty cool if you work with other people and you want to turn some heads!

I say appear because I have only compared the prices in Taiwan where I am right now, but I imagine it's similar elsewhere.

I think it's there due to the increase in children who are (or claim to be) allergic to latex.<br /><br />I work as a Primary School teacher and we can't even put a plaster on a child's finger for fear of an allergic reaction and subsequent parental prosecution. <br /><br />So latex free rubbers are all we can use.Mr Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03237110226851873907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21675608.post-42097546635681651972009-04-22T17:18:00.000+12:002009-04-22T17:18:00.000+12:00Economic Advantage - some art shops in Sydney sell...Economic Advantage - some art shops in Sydney sell Mars plastic for 5.00AUD and the cheapest is the local super store - 1.99AUD while the rasoplast is rarely priced above a dollar. Thats what I call an economic advantage. Mars Plastic gets away with it because of its excellent reputation but Rasoplast is only marginally inferior and even that is subjective judgement.<br /><br />2 1/2pAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21675608.post-7407569431590094842008-10-12T07:20:00.000+13:002008-10-12T07:20:00.000+13:00You may find answers to your questions within this...You may find answers to your questions within this pdf:<BR/><BR/>http://www.staedtler-usa.com/upload/Radierer_Spitzer_english_672.pdfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21675608.post-18425393982706470892008-10-10T15:28:00.000+13:002008-10-10T15:28:00.000+13:00Erasers....Ya hate em but ya love em, too. :) Grea...Erasers....Ya hate em but ya love em, too. :) Great testiong David.

It seems that only German and English speakers have the comfort - the rest of us have the improved formula instead. OK - I don't really know what India gets ?
