Hello Julie, I can’t say enough how beautiful all your work is,consistently, it’s such a pleasure watching you. I would like to ask you about these FC black pencils, because a couple of years ago I bought a set of 50, there wasn’t a 100 available. I like them, indeed they can be compared with the Prismas, but the quality of the wood is not very good. Then I see now there is a 100 set, but actually they are 2 different kinds. Actually the 50 is 2 different kinds. So they all come in a cardboard, one has the green label that says Faber Castell, you know like all the higher quality Faber Castell, it says Buntsifte ( I think that’s german but I don’t know what it means)Black edition Colored Pencils 100,supersoft. This is the cheaper one it’s $54 lon Amazon right now . Actually they have the same one in a tin for $126,big difference in price I don’t see anything else different. Oh and they are triangular,which I don’t mind. Also both the cardboard and the tin in front have written in big colorful letters BLACK EDITION. The other set the more expensive one I only saw it in the cardboard box, it says FC color pencil,ECO-Pencil Supersoft. This one has the red label that says Faber Castell, red was always the lower quality, I thought. But forget the colors, I don’t want to confuse you. SO both the 50 set and the 100 come in 2 different kinds. The one that says Buntsifte Black Edition supersoft that’s $54 for 100 and $21 for the 50, and they are triangular. That’s the 50 I bought and like I said,soft enough core but the wood not very good quality. And the one that says ECO-Pencil Supersoft,that’s $94 for the 100 and $54 for the 50. I didn’t see them up close, I don’t know if these are also triangular,if the quality is better or not. Somebody told me once that the more expensive ones are made in Brazil, I don’t know if that’s true. So, I would be interested to buy the set of 100 of the ECO, but since I saw you have them, I wanted to ask you which ones do you have, the ECO or the other, are they triangular or round? I couldn’t see when you were coloring. What box are they coming in and are you actually happy with them? I know you mostly use Prismas, so I am curious how you like these compared to the Prismas. I’m sorry my message got that long, since there are different kinds I thought to explain. I’m looking forward for your response. Thank you😊

Buntsifte means colored pencil in German. The Eco Supersoft and the Black Edition are two different versions of the same pencils, differently shaped, but the same cores, both made in Brazil, released for sale in different parts of the world. I'm not entirely sure why they changed the barrel shape. Another example of this is the Kohinoor Polycolor/Mondeluz (dry pencils and their watercolor pencils), which were originally sold in cardboard boxes.. when they were exported they put them in tins, added capped ends, and raised the price.. but they are exactly the same pencils. She has the Black Edition because the Eco Supersoft are printed with that name in front of the color number on the barrel. The wood is odd because it's "sustainable" composite instead of the usual wood. They seem really "dull" to me, like all the colors are dusty or something. I think this is due to a high content of white pigment to make them more opaque on dark paper.

@@waymire01 Thank you very much for your advice.In that case I will just stay with what I have, I’m not using them too often. May I ask,what do you mean that she’s using the Black version because the Eco Supersoft has “that” name printed in front of of the number. What name? I think I’m not actually talking to Julie? Thank you again!

Hello, I used the black edition of Faber castell, they are different pencils than other Faber castell pencils. I like them but not as much as the prismacolor pencils, but big difference with prismacolor pencils and other colored pencils, prismacolor is wax based so they are very waxy and smooth to color and blend. The black edition comes in a box you can put up in a square shape… I did put them in another pencil bag though… I like it better .
