For ease of discussion, I'm talkin the GOAT and OG, Dixon Ticonderoga No. 2

  1. Sharpened pencils create a smaller lines, which tend to show all minor imperfections in ones handwriting. Duller pencils tend to blend out all those little imperfections and make the handwriting look more put together. I have legible but not aesthetic handwriting, and it always looks way better to me.
  2. Freshly sharpened pencils are fragile, higher tendency to break within the first couple of linear feet of writing (idk how to measure the use of a pencil but you can get what i mean). A dull pencil just keeps on going, you can write as hard or as soft as you'd like, no breakage occurring.
  3. Dull pencils move across paper more smoothly. Maybe a mental thing, but always just feels more flowy with a dull pencil

inb4 "You have to sharpen a pencil to continue to use it" - ya i know this is not me saying that sharpening pencils is useless or stupid. I understand its a necessary evil. If they had pencil sharpeners that just shaved away wood slightly and preserve the dull tip, that would be the best pencil "sharpener" ever.
