Can You Recommend Me A Journal.......

Recommended Posts

I'm currently using a Paperblanks journal which is lovely but I feel almost wary of writing in it. I want one where I can rant and vent, also write the good stuff and paste in memorabilia and tear out/cover over stuff when I feel I need to.

I really like the Excompta 9931 it is great with fountain pens.

The best journal is the one you have before you.

Just use it, have fun. Fill it up till it's no longer comfortable to carry. Then buy another. Maybe the same, maybe different.

I ride a recumbent, I play go, I use Macintosh so of course I use a fountain pen.

I recently obtained a Seven Seas Writers Journal from Nanami Papers and I really like it. The paper is Tomoe River and a joy to write on with most pens and inks. It's an A5 in size, thread bound, 480 pages (240 leaves) and reeks quality.

Highly recommend.

Just use your Paperblanks journal! That's what it's there for, there's no need to treat it like an art object, it's not. It's just a regular niceish journal. Enjoy having a lovely book to write in and paste memorabilia in and when it's full you can get another one that's just as nice.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
