Reddit mentions of Hagoromo Fulltouch White Chalk 72pcs

It's softer, whiter, doesn't squeak, often has a wax coating so that your hands don't get chalky, and is twice or more the diameter of chalk you see in the US. I use these (and their color version). If you use a chalkboard a lot it's well worth the investment.

These are the things I use daily:

• Hagoromo,
  
• Nice Paper (I've become rather fond of the Moleskine notebooks),
  
• Scrap paper (for computational nonsense),
  
• .5mm pencil (I like the Zebra mechanicals--cheap, durable),
  
• A decent eraser (usually a Staedtler),
  
• Coffee,
  
• Tobacco,
  
• Beer.
  
  Absent any one, I think it unlikely that I would function properly.

Yah libgen and save your money to buy wicked fancy chalk

I'd never heard of this till you brought it up, but it's amazing that there's a chalk that mathematicians are mourning the demise of.

Surprisingly, it's available on Amazon, but at a truly ridiculous price.

I'm guessing the first is a legacy pack from the original manufacturer, and the latter two are from the company that took over the brand. And the box has print in Hangul, as opposed to the Kanji on the original, so I'm guessing this is a Korean manufacturer, not Japanese.
