On: Mr. Rafieh’s Tehran Pencil Shop

Wonderful gallery! Interesting sharpening technique in image 7 with a blunt writing tip. Typically you'd seen a more angled cone [0] and a sharper end, but I guess this means no color is wasted when doing the initial sharpening?

Anyone note a list of his brands? I think I see some Faber-Castell but can't ID anything else.

Image 6 just looks like he is holding 2 pencils. Is he actually sharpening them?

However he does it, I don't think he is using a razor based sharpener, just look at the rough points in image 15.

Ah yes, good call, thanks for the keen eyes!
