I have used the original 602s since the mid-70s I’m a professional musician and it was the pencil of choice for marking our scores. I have four boxes of 12 count original Faber Castile Blackwing 602 pencils. The Palomino brand black wing is the closest to the original, not the Palomino black wing 602, which is much harder. At this point I’m in my mid 60s and I think I’m gonna start using up my original 602s because nothing compares to them quite literally and I don’t think I would ever run out of them before I’m gone from this earth. they are a truly special pencil it’s difficult, if not impossible to describe how they feel when you’re writing.
