Absolutely not surprised the brown version was out of stock when I tried to purchase this pencil is AMAZING!!! I really mean it!!! The absolute best on the market, not too soft and not too hard just the perfect middle. I’ve been using the Phi brows pencil for years and I bought this one to try, never ever going back!! I always had trouble sharpening the phi one and thought it was me but it’s not it’s because it’s way too soft and easily breakable, where at this one, no trouble! Takes me seconds to sharpen with no breakage
