Here is what I do:

In a V shaped jig, place the hexagonal pencil lengthwise. With a low angle block
plane, ground to 31 degrees, begin relieving each arris, working your way around
the pencil. As you consecutively relieve the arris produced by each pass of the
plane, you will notice that the arris’ will increase in number, but increase in
the degree at which they meet. When you have completed this process, the final
arris of each joining will be undetectable to the touch.

Best of luck!
