  I actively use this chalk daily for work.<br>It does cost 5x more than many other brands, but it also:<br>- Produces less chalk dust<br>- Doesn&apos;t rub off onto your hands<br>- Easily cleans off with one or two passes of a wiper, rather than most others that need to be washed off with water and stick around for ages<br>- Has a richer, brighter colour and is easier to see.<br><br>All of those reasons is why I use it and never regret paying the premium for it.

  If you hate your professor, you should buy this chalk. They&apos;ll never be able to switch back and will drain all their money on this, it&apos;s that great quality!

  I love the common factor with almost every one of the &quot;So Expensive&quot; videos being how passionate makers and users are about the products. Really makes me want most of the items, even when I have absolutely no use for them.

  Aww Shin Hyeong-seok was my math teacher in Korea. It was around 2014-2015 and I still remember him using those colorful chalks to teach calculus. He was such an enthusiastic, humorous teacher. Even though I was not good at math, I got excited with his class. 😆 쌤~ 잘 지내고 계신가요? 영상으로 보니 감회가 새롭습니다. 항상 건강하시길 바랍니다~

  I remember the former owner of Hagaromo chalk talked about his passion for making these products and the sadness in his eyes are reflected when he revealed that he was closing the company, but was hoping a buyer would continue his business. Glad that a South Korean company bought it and kept the product alive.

  I LOVE when ambassadors of the brand only ask for the brand&apos;s products in exchange for being an ambassador; it shows the true quality of the product and that the ambassadors are true believers in it and the company. Amazing.

  Not just mathematicians.<br>Our Anatomy professor was using them and it was fabulous. (He also had an art degree, dude could straight up draw any bones in 3D before adding nerves, muscles, vessels)<br>Pr laude thank you for your teachings.

  My aunt is a math teacher. I just ordered her a box of white and a box of multicolored Hagoromo. It’ll be her start of the new school year gift.

  I’m no scientist or mathematician but I’m a preschool teacher . Chalk is a way for the kids to feel texture and to be engaged in writing and seeing what they’re doing. This chalk has lasted me a few seasons of kids and the parents love it.
