Nice review - thanks. I agree with your findings. I've been using Habanas for over a year now and they are sensational. Best by far and very consistent in terms of quality. Can't beat that Clairefontaine paper.

Nice review and lovely writing samples!

 

I agree with your conclusions - I'm on my third Habana and I really appreciate the size of the notebook and the quality of the paper.

This is my absolute favorite notebook. I am now using them exclusively for all my notebook needs.

Do you have a reverse picture of the page? Most pads and inks I have look similar on the front, but...

 

the important factor is the bleading through to the reserve side.

till lady Dandelion can come here to confirm it herself, I can say that the Habana is very resistant to bleeding to the other side though there may be some minimal showthrough. I have pics in my sig links here.

The reason I don't posted pics of the backsides is that there was no bleed through. I've written that in the lower right corner, I think. :)

      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
