Um....The answer which it is.
I don't quite understand what you mean by HB-2 pencil but if you mean HB pencil / #2 Pencil it is not the softest pencil. Pencils scale from 9H to 9B, (HB in the middle) and 9B would the softest and darkest pencil there.
Pencils are made in various lengths. My HB pencil measures 7 inches.
Many pencils across the world and almost all in Europe are graded on the European system using a continuüm from "H" (for hardness) to "B" (for blackness), as well as "F" (for fine point). The standard writing pencil is graded HB.
In pencils, "F" stands for "fine." It indicates the hardness of the pencil lead, with an "F" pencil falling in the middle of the hardness scale between "HB" and "H." A "F" pencil produces lines that are somewhat fine and have a moderate level of darkness.
A 2 soft pencil refers to the hardness level of the pencil lead. A 2 soft pencil will have a softer lead that is darker and smoother to write with compared to harder pencils. The number 2 is typically used in the United States to indicate medium softness, while in other countries, the same pencil may be labeled as HB.
No on a pencil stands for Number. It is a measure of hardness, similar to the HB scale.
An HB pencil is just a No. 2 Pencil HB stands for Hard Black

Hard Black pencil.
HB 2 pencil has a slightly softer lead than a regular HB pencil, which gives it darker markings. The "2" in HB 2 stands for the American grading system, while the regular HB is based on the European grading system. Both are commonly used for general writing and drawing.
H stands for hardness and B stands for blackness this is how a pencil scale goes: 9H 8H 7H 6H 5H 4H 3H 2H 1H H HB B 1B 2B 3B 4B 5B 6B 7B 8B 9B9H is very fine hard and light but 9B is thick black and very soft (more like charcoal)

The easiest pencil to erase on the market is a mechanical pencil with HB lead.
hard black
its the HB graphite grading scale, for hardness and darkness of the graphite on paper. the higher the number, like a number 2 pencil, the harder the lead.
A No.2 pencil, but HB is softer and is used to create dark lines when drawing.
HB stands for hard black.
