Arteza Eraser Pencil with Brush and Sharpener Set

I have mixed feelings about this eraser. To be frank, I expected this to be excellent, because Arteza is a reputed arts supplier. However, this pack didn't match my expectations.

THE GOOD
> The rubber part is excellent and removes graphite traces that other good-brand erasers don't.
> These pencils are really perfect to erase small areas and for shading/ highlighting.
> I initially thought that the sharpener was unnecessary, as I have plenty of similar sharpeners. However, this one is especially designed to sharpen rubber and, after using it, I've realised that this is the one that sharpens the rubber perfectly.
> The brush is perfect to remove eraser/graphite dust.
> Good value for money as there are FIVE pencil erasers with attached brush plus the sharpener.

NOT SO GOOD

> When sharpening the eraser, part of it is wasted.
> If, by any chance, you use the sharpener a a bit over, the fine point rubber will break and it will be wasted.
> The brush is too stiff. I would rather have one stand alone medium quality brush than one bad one attached to each pencil.
> Due to the rubber waste mentioned above, these pencils last less than smaller fine push-up erasers.
