Natraj - Pencils India Learned to Write with | Natraj & Apsara Pencil Review

A deep dive into Natraj 621 Pencil, Apsara Platinum Pencil and Apsara Absolute Pencil in Part 1 of this 2 part series on Hindustan Pencils Limited, one of India's most reputed pencil Manufacturers. Natraj is a household staple and almost every child in India as grown up writing with these pencils. It is an Honest HB pencil, with Apsara Platinum and Apsara Absolute being significantly darker cousins. The maker chooses to charge a premium for darker pencils, and in this video, I share why that might be the case. Furthermore, I compare older pencils from a few decades ago to the latest batches and share the changes in these pencils over the years.
