LET'S GET SHARP!


Fellow Artsy-Fartsy Artists...

Scantron Test Takers...

Bowlers and Miniature Golfers...

How many times has your BEST work been thwarted
by a mis-sharpened pencil?
The hilarious caricature of your algebra teacher ruined by a broken point...
Your SAT score tanked because of half-filled dots...
Your birdie or spare unrecognized due to illegibility...

Yes, yes... the list goes on and I hear your laments and gnashing of teeth.
But Ica n't do anything about it.
I simply don't have the precision... the craft... the sharpitude.
But I know someone that does.

Mr. David Rees.
He of Get Your War On fame has started...

AN ARTISANAL PENCIL SHARPENING BUSINESS!



Let's face it, we're not trained to sharpen our own pencils...

YET WE DO IT ALL THE TIME!

Why not leave it to the experts?

All you have to do is send your #2 pencils to Mr. Rees and for $12.50 a piece he'll sharpen them to a precision graded point.

What's that? You say you think that $12.50 sounds kind of expensive?

But is it REALLY?

Each pencil that Mr. Rees receives gets his PERSONALIZED attention and is sharpened in the old-world tradition that pencils were meant to be sharpened in.
Then they're shipped back to you in a protective tube complete with down-to-the-micrometer grading:



You'll also receive a signed certificate of sharpening as proof that your pencil was sharpened to artisanal standards:



And of course Mr. Rees guarantees this:

All shavings are bagged, sealed, labeled, and returned to the owner to dispose of as they wish. After all, shavings are part of the pencil– and it’s YOUR pencil.

Beware pencil-sharpening services that don’t return your shavings! They’re ripping you off!




Still not convinced?
Don't want to waste your precious pencils on a service
you're not 2000% sure of?
Why not try it out?
For $40 you'll get a safety-tubed, precision sharpened pencil from Mr. Rees' personal collection (complete with bagged shavings),
a certificate of authenticity,
and a limited edition copy of the poster shown above.
(I got number 12 of 50!)

Interested? Go HERE!
And don't be shy to browse through the rest of Mr. Rees' blog--

He hasn't been called the 'The Hottest Blogger on the Scene' for nothin', you know.
