This is a weird eraser. I have tested it against other erasers, as per above photo, and this is the best of the lot. Yet, it feels weird. It smells and feels like Play-Doh, but it's actually rubber. It doesn't leave waste/dust behind, but it's a bit like having dry chewing-gum in your hands. A good odd eraser.

Tombow Mono Zero Tri-Colour Barrel Round Eraser
This
is a great minuscule push-pen eraser perfect to erase small areas in a
drawing or to create shades or highlights. See my photos for the size compared to an average pencil tip. It nicely erases most graphite
traces. Very comfortable to use and to put away. As the tip is tiny, the
dust generated is not much. I own a mono zero rectangle eraser but I
prefer this circular version, as it is way smaller and more practical.

The package texts are written in Japanese.
Due to the size of the rubber, this one doesn't last much. placing the rubber bar won't take much time.

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.
