日本理化学 Rikagaku White Dustless Chalk, 6-Pieces (DCC-6-W)

I did not know chalk could be this good! I knew that I didn't like Crayola brand and I've gone through several liquid chalks and not found anything great. Then one day my husband told me about how he ribbed his friend who is a math professor about the "best chalk" factory closing and how hard it is to get good chalk. His friend said he didn't use that chalk, he used the "second best" chalk. So I texted his friend to get the name of it and here we are. I ordered both the best and second best chalk but honestly did not find them different from each other. HOWEVER from the first stroke of my T for Tina I knew that I would not be wasting any more money on second rate chalks. My chalking life is forever changed! The chalk goes on so smooth and silky. The colors are rich. The way it glides across the board even feels good. It's not scratchy and it goes on evenly. I was confused why it looked like it was wrapped like a cigarette with a filter so I asked the professor. He said that it was wrapped like that to keep the dust off your fingers. It's not completely dustless but it's definitely and improvement over Crayola. Just try it, you won't regret it!

Great!

Great chalk!! I haven’t had much experience with many brands of chalk. I did some research and saw this brand to be recommended! I saw the price and thought I’d give it a shot. It was an excellent choice! Works so well. DOES NOT BREAK IN MY HANDS!! Writes clear and I don’t have to apply lots of pressure to get it to write well. I believe this pack of chalk will last at least a few months so I think the value is great!

1 stick completely unusable (lots of fine powder), 1 broken in half so it's salvageable.

Ok product

I tried several brands of chalk and like others have said it all depends on the chalkboard surface and the brands of chalk you have to find the right match. With that said Hagoromo is still the best chalk out there in my opinion and works well on all surfaces and now this brand Rikagaku (DCC-6-6C) is just as good. The pieces are thicker and do not fit in the standard chalk holders (have not not shopped for that item yet) this chalk is hard but writes very creamy and depending on the pressure used it runs down quickly you really only need to gently glide across the surface to bring out the colors.

Was excited for this but came all dusted up and broken. I bought both color vs plain white. The white chalk was perfectly fine but the color is almost unusable. It's completely broken into fine pieces and can't really use it due to it being almost dust. The package also seemed pretty messed up. I'm guessing it was from shipping itself and not the brand since the other package is okay. Sad to not use the color ones though.

Wonderful chalk. I bought a very cheap chalk board that is not smooth at all, I'm honestly hesitant to call it a chalk board it might actually be plastic. Anyway, it's hard to write on and erase, I have tried several brands hoping to find something and am super happy to have stumbled across this brand. It writes soooo smooth, even on my bumpy surface. It comes off easily and has made using the chalkboard much easier. Extremely happy with this product and will be buying more when the first set runs down. Also, I noticed some reviewers complaining about broken chalk, mine came whole and since the plastic container the chalk is shipped in is spaced for each individual piece of chalk, I'm gonna assume rough shipping was the cause of their problems and not the chalk being of poor flimsy quality.
