About Faber-Castell Kneaded Eraser with Case, Grey
Overall Feedback:
93% positive
86% appreciated the long-lasting durability, but 14% didn't
I have been using it for 1-2 months and I am not sure how long it will keep its pliability. Hopefully, it will last for a good long while.
I noticed that the eraser has a strange texture, almost like it was microwaved to be too gooey and sticky. I have never encountered such a kneaded eraser before in my lifetime as an artist.

I find the eraser not firm enough for precise erasing.
88% praised the erasing capability, yet 12% found it left smudges
This eraser works very well with pastels and can perform subtractive techniques.
For erasing coloured pencil, it's best to shape the eraser to a smaller size than the area to be cleaned, press it down, lift, knead to get a clean bit and repeat the process until the area is clean.
I find that the eraser is sticky and doesn't work well, making erasing a joke.
82% praised the ergonomic design, but 18% found it uncomfortable
It's difficult to clean even light pencil marks and requires bearing down hard.
77% praised the non-toxic materials
I suggest using a plastic eraser like Tombow Mono to remove the remaining stain without damaging the surface.
79% appreciated the minimal residue, yet 21% found it left much debris
I have found that this eraser works well with pastels, not just for erasing lines, but also for subtractive techniques.
The eraser is difficult to use and causes residue on the fingers because it is too gooey and sticky.
83% liked the convenient size and shape, yet 17% didn't
This eraser is perfect for shaping to cover a small area as it is very pliable and squidgy.
I can easily tear and shape the soft eraser for controlled erasing.
The eraser is small and thin, comparable to a postage stamp.
