dirty rubbers are the bane of my life
sharp thin type eraser in a holder; as the end gets dirty, you just apply pressure to snap off as much of the eraser as you wish. replacement erasers are slotted in at the other end.

Retractable Eraser
http://www.shoplet....e/db/PENZE21M1.html Not that I endorse that particular outlet, but I think it's the kind of thing you're looking for. My Dad used these years ago. [PeterSilly, Oct 05 2004, last modified Oct 17 2004]
Keep your eraser sharp
http://www.faber-ca...1452&m5=&domid=1010 The pencil at the bottom of the page is actually an eraser, one end soft for pencil the other end hard for ink. If it gets dirty just use a pencil sharpener to take off a thin layer. Also never crumbles or dries out like some other erasers. [kbecker, Oct 05 2004, last modified Oct 17 2004]

Don't pack it in your carry-on. |
|
|
whats a carry-on in your part of the world FJ? |
|
|
I suppose the edge of the holder needs to be sharp but its protected by a rubber :) |
|
|
thats exactly what I would like... |

Insert standard American rubber joke here. |

I always liked those ones that look like pencils but where you peel the paper wrap off. |

That statement is just disgusting. If you are to cheap to buy a new rubber for your next date go to the AIDS prevention center in the nearest town. They give away new, clean rubbers for free. |
