Q: How do I sharpen my pencil? It doesn't look like I can put it into a standard sharpener! 

A: Ahhhh but you can! We chose a pencil barrel made from a material that lends to a smoother application (no eye splinters here!) - and while it may appear to be far too chic for your every day pencil sharpener, it is not! So sharpen as usual, with your pencil sharpener of choice.
