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!

can you put a piece of paper in the top part. you know you take out the top part and take out the middle stick, and in the other dr. grip pencils the part with the clip is see through and you can put a paper with a design on the and then reassemble the pencil/pen, and you can see that paper with the design through the top part of the barrel. does that work with this pencil too or is it covered by the black?

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

Very good pencil, has a nice matte-feeling tip and a overall eloquent design. Also the shaker is relatively quiet, although louder than i expected, and comes in handy many times. As a decent-artist i mainly use this pencil for drawing which i would say it does very well as the grip has a hard feeling but just enough squish to get a good grip on it. Also the lead is well supported inside and hasn't broken on me so far. One of my pet peeves with other ergonomic pencils is when i squeeze then release this grip there's a little sort of pop, hard to explain but it really got to me and with this pencil i don't experience that! Overall, this is a great pencil and i would highly recommend this.

Excellent pencil. The grip has just the right tackiness, and as long as you like the medium to large barrells, you'll like this. My only complaint is the lack of a satisfying click from the top button, but the shaker mechanism works very well. Despite the tip being plastic, the pencil as a whole has a solid feel. This is a very comfortable writing pencil.

Probably the best mechanical pencil I've ever used(though I have not yet tried the Alpha Gel Mentioned in the review below so I cannot verify if it's true or not). It fits naturally into my hand and is quite comfortable for long writing sessions. Not to mention that the shaker feature is extremely useful for speed writing. I haven't used any other pencil since I got this.

Such a nice pencil. The weight is perfectly distributed and the grip is excellent. Shaker function works well, and writing is extremely smooth.

This pencil is unbelievably incredible! As a very picky pencil user, I have absolutely no major complaints about this pencil. Here are the things I love about this pencil: the grip, shaker ability, aesthetics, and weight. In my opinion, very few mechanical pencils have grips that are smooth and at the same time have traction. This one does. The weight and feel of this pencil is also terrific, as the pencil fits naturally into my hand and just feels right when writing. I am also a fan of the alpha-gel by uni-ball, and I must say that this is a strong rival to that pencil line.

This is better than the others and cost more not because its full black. But it has dual layer for the best pencil stability and comfort. It could be the ugliest color in the world but it it has the dual layer it will be worth more

Awesome, I got mines in 4 days! (I got the free shipping)

Love it. this is my 3rd dr grip shaker pencil. The first two were white ones. Had to get one in black. These are my favorite pencils and have been for 5+ years now. Perfect balance/weight, EXTREMELY CONVENIENT to extend lead by shaking the pencil (I have to constantly fill in scantrons). QUality and stylish. Made in japan. what else can you ask for??

i would not chose this color it looks red in picture but it is an ugly color in real life, chose blue or grey!!!!!!!!!!!!1

As with every Dr. Grip mechanical pencil, this pencil works very well. However, the Full Black is overpriced. The G-Spec is only $7.50, while the Full Black is $12. Both have the same quality. Despite this, the Full Black looks much cooler!

This pencil is alsome but compared to the Alpha Gel this grip is really hard.
