Season Seven of French police procedural and legal drama series Engrenages (English: Spiral) doesn’t disappoint when it comes to the Staedtler Noris. In a previous blog post I showed the judge’s (juge Roban’s) Staedtler Noris and the police’s Staedtler Tradition. This time the protagonist, police officer Laure Berthaud, played by Caroline Proust, is using a Staedtler Noris. Good choice!

This Noris sighting has been added to the Noris in the wild page.

Perfume pencils

Who would have thought… These days you can even get perfume pencils. The name made me curious, so I had a closer look ..but I think perfume pens would have been a better name. They seem to be plastic cased and come with a cap.

These perfume pencils actually remind me of Staedtler’s textsurfer gel 1. I wonder whether the core is of a similar consitency.

  1. I ordered them in the past, including from Japan, because they had some different colours available over there. They are really nice. [↩]

Pencil beard vs Coronavirus 1

I didn’t realise there is something called a pencil beard / moustache, but it looks like it’s helping fight the Coronavirus.

…well, not quite, but it is one of the beards the NHS (British healthcare systems) approves for use with a respirator.
