Customer Reviews

lead size is *not* the same as softness
My Waterman Hemisphere set is the best one I've ever had. Nowhere else have I found a ballpoint pen I like as much as this one. The weight is perfect, the mechanism smooth as silk. Plus the actual Waterman refills are the smoothest I've ever used, and they last a long time (I use medium point). No skips, blots, etc. As for the pencil lead, the size has nothing to do with the softness. Softness is variable, so for example, one scale of softest to hardest would be: 6B-5B-4B-3B-2B-B-HB-F-H-2H-3H-4H-5H-6H Pencil makers often use H to indicate a hard pencil, B for blackness (so a BB is very dark), and F to show it sharpens to a fine point. So you'll lots of combinations of these. As for the size of the lead on the Waterman Hemisphere, it's 0.5 mm. (Which you can look up online really easily.) It's a standard size, widely available. Happy writing!

Beautiful Pen Set
To address the earlier review, the size of lead for the mechanical pencil does not determine it's hardness or durability. Leads come in both diameter size (larger size, larger diameter) and also a hard to soft range (number 2 is a medium soft pencil lead). Likewise, the type of refill placed in the pen will determine how well it writes. This is a gorgeous gift set that will last for years and great for gift giving!

Great gift
I ordered it as a present for a 13yr old girl. I will have her name engraved on it. I was told I will get it btw 3-6 May but it has arrived on 28 Apr. Great product. Nice and elegant.
