How do you sharpen your NYX Jumbo Pencils?

I am having the hardest time finding a sharpener that will work for the NYX Jumbo Pencils. I have a Milani sharpener, a Wet n Wild sharpener, and another no name one. All of them have the large side that should fit the pencils, and they do fit but for some reason they just don't hit the blade right and sharpen.

What sharpeners do you use? Is there some weird pencil sharpening trick that is just eluding me?

I don't want to end up just doing it with like an exacto knife, but I'm at the point where I'm going to if I can't get a sharpener that works.

Sharpen? I depot my jumbo pencils because I've never found a good sharpener plus you lose product when you sharpen.

Ah i depot mine, i think i would find it hard to sharpen them, especially when its hard to find a decent sharpener.

I can usually get them to sharpen once then they just don't fit right after. I always save all the extra product sharpening causes you to loose and tend to just use it at the time since I usually only sharpen them if I'm about to use them.

I think I will probably end up depotting them. I've been looking into buying containers for my lose pigments that have horrible containers (NYX have the worst little bottles for their loose pigments) already so I can just use some for the jumbo pencils.

Thanks ladies!
