Ebony black pencils




Hi, I tried a search on this and only one thing popped up, so I apologize if it's been discussed before. My main medium is pencils, and the darkest pencil I have right now is a 9B. I like it but handling the 'shine' is a process. I've heard of ebony black and some other pencil made by General that is supposed to be 'black' without so much shine. Are these pencils in fact charcoal pencils or do they have the same lead in regular pencils. Pearl Paints near my house doesn't carry ebony black or the General brand so I can't test it for myself, but may have to find online. Anyone with experience using it, advice on advantages/disadvantages would be very appreciated. Thank you.
