What is the difference between these and the regular premiers? I meant clearly 'soft core' but does it really come out softer with use?

I don't know what you mean by "regular" premiers. the core is soft and if you sharpen with a bad sharpener they will break. I was taught by thevirtualinstructor.com and you can get really deep color by layering your colors. I love them. Also using a blender pencil you can polish the colors so they look like paint! Amazing

Just bought a pair at a local sporting goods store. They're supposed to have bigger ball bearings (thus smoother rotation) and appear bigger than the original Perfect Pushups. Also they're manufactured by a different company, although both endorsed by the same creator, Alden Mills. Also they're about double the price. I would say they're worth it if you don't mind the price tag.

I bought and used Ocusoft, and there are not soft at all. It was like using rough paper, I will never change Systane, actually last night I went to Walgreens to get a box and there were sold out, this is how good these wipes are.

I actually like the Relief + more than the standard, lower priced version. The other works fine but because of the texture of the molded plastic I tend to slide around a bit. This one stays in place. I use the Relief Core + at work and the Relief at home. They do what they say they will do and when I don't use them it is immediately evident with lower back pain and impaired mobility.

I think I can add something to this question. About 20 years ago I bought a large set of "Prismacolor" color pencils. At that time, there was no "Premier" in the name and these were the standard and best quality offered by Prismacolor, then owned by Berol. Some other company bought out Berol/Prismacolor and at some point, they developed a new and premium color pencil line and named it "Prismacolor Premier." This line is now their "top of the line" color pencil. The lesser quality is called "Scholar" and is probably not as blendable and leaves hard edges. I may have a couple colors of the "Premier," but not sure. As was best described, it has a soft lead or core that is very blendable and smooth. I think I can add something to this question.

The coating is more slick than rubbery. I find that it's on the less tangly end of the spectrum. Also, since the left earbud cord is longer (so you can drape it behind your neck, so they stay in better, which is awesome), I use the method of wrapping the length of the cord around my hand, then wrapping the extra few inches of the left earbud cord around that bundle to keep them from getting tangled in my purse/pocket. Works pretty well.

I like the Phillips Sonicare ProResults Standard. They are stiff when new but soften up pretty quickly with use. I buy mine at Target. Target frequently discounts them so watch for their coupons to save money. If you prefer a softer bristle you'd probably like the Philips Sonicare Standard Ultra Soft Sensitive brushes. They fit Diamondclean, Flexcare, Healthywhite, and Easyclean handles. Amazon.com sells Philips Sonicare Standard Ultra Soft Sensitive, 3 brush heads for $16.45. That's a great price. Not too sure if Target carries the softer bristle brushes. You'd have to check. Do a little research at Sonicare.com to see which brush model is best for you. Best of luck to you Barb!

Most of my customers like the high gloss and when i ask them about if they had experience with soft they answer that they don't like soft gloss.... high gives the picture more sharpness and clarity colors are more vivid. you won't be sorry.. unless you like dull pictures.

Besides being soft and easy to blend, the PREMIER pencils have way more pigment color per pencil than the Scholar pencils do. Check out the virtual instructor for more info on them, and to see them in action. I love mine, they blend really great! Hope this helps.

The core is harder than a pastel, but softer and lays down more color than a watercolor pencil. You may not be impressed at first, but when you wet the medium, that is when the Inktense (as in "intense") color surprises you. You get a lot of control with the depth of shade. I love them.

I'm not an expert. Let me start to answer your question with a question. Is there an outer core in any other color that is made of a different material than the inner core? The inner core (white in the picture) is softer to the touch; the outer core, I suspect is what helps it stand up. I don't think the color matters. The outer core feels like plastic. The inner core is definitely not plastic. I suspect the color does not matter. If this doesn't completely answer your question, ask away. I enjoy doing this.

I had both, and can say the Elites are better construction, smoother motion on the twist, and the grips are made of a spiral pattern rubber that I'm not sure I like better than the Basics, but they are still comfortable enough to make the Elites a much better product overall.

The bleaching kit my husband and I both purchased has a soft light clear rubber tray (upper and lower). I know some of the companies advertise their trays as being also used for night guards. Not sure if those are a little stiffer. The ones we have are very very soft but I must say...very comfy to wear when bleaching. Not sure if I answered your question at all but hope it helps.....

thank you for posting. I had the same question about how the classic compares to the ultra, in considering it as a christmas gift for my husband. this was exactly what I needed! The Ultra, it is!

The extra 2 pres give you flexibility. They are just about as clean as you could ever expect. The question for you is whether that extra flexibility will ever be needed, and whether the slightly higher price is worth it to you? I rarely use the extra, and don't anticipate much use for them. But having the additional capability was easily worth it for my purposes.

Someone here stated (in answering "Should I get the Classic or the Professional? What are the differences? "... that the "Classic is flat on the bottom and the Professional has ridges" ... that " the ridges on the Professional would make it almost impossible to fry eggs without breaking the yolk". However, all ad photos of the Professional show a perfectly flat interior. Additionally, a reviewer on Amazon has photos posted showing the flat interior ... and the exterior bottom which has an integrated disc. Seems many reviewers are frying eggs perfectly on the flat interior surface. Someone here stated (in answering "Should I get the Classic or the Professional? What are the differences?

No, they are much softer. I have to change them ever 2-3 weeks. With the original ones I dont have to change for about 1.5 months. But they are ok for the price
