What's a #5 pencil?
5H. Very hard, very pale, but keeps the tip well and doesn't smear. I
think 2H is the hardest Walmart carries; in the arts/crafts store where
we got or 5H, 6H was the hardest. The standard I use (little leads to
insert in mechanical pencils, which I then sharpen for drawing but not
for writing) is HB.
