Chalk school is in session!!! ๐
๐
14 Chalks in under a year!???!!?? What? Oh my goodness Iโve invested so much money, effort, time, energy, strength in this quest to find chalks. It started off as a quest to find/make the perfect Asmr chalk and has now doubled as a quest to find as many nice chalk textures as possible, but perhaps 14 chalks is where I draw the line because this ainโt cheap ๐
. Special thanks to you all for supporting this journey, especially my sweet subscriber R who donated some money specifically for the Alphabet Chalk R&D fund ๐๐๐๐.
Now letโs break it down. Before we do so, I encourage everyone to check out Julietโs breakdown on each chalk in the comments on the video for November borns, pt1. Talk about my A** student. Quite impressive. ๐๐
Inspired by โช@chalk_it_upkymโฌ โs commentary style letโs break down these chalks
A chalk
Good part: when itโs like this, soft snowy buttery, itโs perfect in every way as a chalk
Bad part: limited stock, they may stop producing this chalk for unknown reasons and itโs also much more expensive than the usual chalks so the future is unclear. I still have a few blocks in stock so letโs enjoy this while it lasts ๐
B chalk
Good part: the only manufactured chalk that is probably on the same level as (or better than) BSN
Bad part: no more stock. they cannot make it consistent, 70-80% of them are hard and uncrushable so I donโt buy it anymore. And these pieces are among my very last pieces left. Ah wellโฆ
C chalk
Good part: underdog deliciously crunchy chalk
Bad part: crunchy firm texture means difficult to do mass crushes
D chalk
Good part: a fav, nice texture, good balance of crunchy vs soft, I could crush this all day
Bad part: my personal stock is finished, I have maybe 3 blocks left ๐ญ
E chalk: easy grip gritty cratery texture reigns until I can find a similar chalk but really I donโt think Iโll bother because this easy grip is a unique beautiful texture which is affordable (shipping not included), accessible and I have a nice relationship (and discount code) with them๐
F chalk:
Good part: flour packed goodness, soft, off white colour, generally yummy
Bad part: F, F+, FP is confusing so I will just say F from now on because they are basically the same
G chalk
Good part: a nice unique texture when itโs softish, so so good (thanks Guilia โช@chalkitasmrโฌ)
Bad part: I didnโt get a good batch as the one Giulia usually gets so the blocks are mainly medium to hard (although occasionally I find perfect blocks like the ones seen in this video ๐คค)
H Chalk
Good part : I can make it at home
Bad part: loooooong having to make it myself ๐
Best part: I love it and I can make it myself haha
I chalk
F chalk but make it slightly crunchier with a lovely crunch that follows through
No bad part really, I mean sometimes they are firmer and denser than one would like but itโs an amazing chalk to dye so I love it so much
J chalk
J for jumbo
Good part: unique in size and style
Bad part: who wants to be crushing a hard jumbo block? Absolutely no one. So unless itโs super soft or at least softish as seen in this video, itโs difficult to get behind it
Another bad part: they cannot make the soft one consistently ๐ค
K chalk: krispy shards chalk
Good part: I canโt believe we thought this was similar to D, now we see itโs totally different. It breaks up into basically shards in such a nice and structured way. I LOVE it.
Bad part: so far not really finding any.
L chalk: what the heck is this?? I guess itโs like a K wanna be? A firmer K? Kโs annoying little sister? lol. Nothing good to say about this really expect that Iโve asked them to substitute this chalk with a different texture because frankly this is not what I saw and approved in the sampling stage of this process ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐
M: moulded freshies. Only good things to say. Refer to H.
N: newest chalk on the block ๐. Hehe. So this is a feeble attempt to remake B. When dyed it is almost identical to B. When fresh itโs also sooooo powdery just like B, but not as snowy white. However I note that this is NOT off white. Itโs more white than F and I. Itโs like a pearly white. And the texture is like really really soft fine beach sand. Or powdered sugar. And itโs tightly compressed into a chalk block. It feels soooo nice and fluffy and silky but with a certain grit. I donโt know how to explain. I LOVE IT. Iโve asked for certain modifications and they claim they will try to make those modifications so letโs stay positive.
All in all, Iโm so proud of us for getting this far. Above all Iโm thankful to God for having the opportunity and resources to do this. What a privilege and honour. It shows how much I really love Chalk ASMR because to spend this much on a chalk search is โฆ.not normal? ๐

Enjoy
