I remember one year my parents tried to save money and bought a different number pencil that was cheaper. She asked me why I had the wrong number and told me to get number 2s.
From Pencils.com: “… there is no specific industry standard for the darkness of the mark to be left within the HB or any other hardness grade scale. Thus, a #2 or HB pencil from one brand will not necessarily leave the same mark as a #2 or HB pencil from another brand.”

I always preferred #3’s. Don’t wear down as fast and you don’t have to sharpen them as often.

Don’t try to flush a number two. You’ll have a real problem.
