This pencil is one of the best. It is very ergonomic; the grip is not too squishy at all unlike the uni ax gel so it is perfect for holding. Also because in the middle of the pencil, it fits nicely in your hand (I have small hands). When you write with it, you can feel how strong it holds the lead and how much control you have of this pencil. It is very nice looking (blue is my favorite color) and the mechanism is the expensive bonus of the pencil. I don't like to use the SHAKER mechanism at school because I don't want to be grabbing anyone's attention, distracting someone, or be a show off during class and I wouldn't want someone to steal this awesome looking and feeling pencil.

Super cool looking and well-balanced, especially considering the price point. Writes great!!

This pencil is just amazing, its probaly the best Dr.Grip out there. So is yuo cant decied wha Dr.Grip you want to buy spend the extra money and get the full black dual layer.!!!

I love the design of this pencil, i even got the pen! I'd choose this one over the "purewhite" series. If you like the metal barrel from the other dr. grip then i wouldnt recommend this pen for you as its mostly made out of plastic and its lighter.

And yes you can put a piece of paper in it and see what it says!

Yes you can put in a piece of paper in to the pencil.
And this is the best shaker pencil
