Today we went to BJs Store and I saw these notebooks that looked great, cover-wise, excellent spiral, 100 sheets and the paper is so smooth and just the perfect color. It is

 

Top Flight Wired 1-Subject Notebook, 100 Sheet

 

The sad news is it’s not fountain pen friendly, but gel pens work beautifully in them. It says made in Vietnam, but if made in Vietnam, how come it bleeds through? Can’t we get a regular, cheap spiral bound notebook that is fountain pen friendly? If the notebook is too nice, I’m afraid I won’t use it for stream of consciousness journaling, what they call brain dump. I want to use my notebooks as freely as I should and not be inhibited by the fact that it is too nice to write on. Besides, I like a good spiral bound notebook that I can take anywhere and just write and write.

Can you please give me some pieces of advice? What do you think of my dilemma? All input is welcome.

This is bleed through when I’m using good old iroshizuku ink in my Sailor pen.

I get nothing like that. I use Sailor Doyou, Waterman inks, Herbin Orange Indien and Diamine Saddle with a Pilot Falcon, Decimo, Luo Shi stub nib, and a Platinum Carbon Desk Pen.

      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
