I use Apica and Tsuambe daily; the latter for to-dos and daily planner; the former stuffed in my back pocket when riding or hiking.

I will second Tomoe River for anything special but would like to nominate Q Connect Bank Paper.

I've become a convert and use it for daily scribbling. It too is very thin. Kind of reminds me of that old school toilet paper but takes fountain pen ink really well, makes inks look fab and is cheap as chips.

(no where near as smooth though)

+1 for Tomoe ........and another + Midori.

 

In Midori's case I particularly like and enjoy the paper quality of their plain 'lightweight' refils for the Traveler Notebook.

I can't wait to try some Tomoe River after the responses on this site.

Currently I use Maruman and Kokuyo Campus for everyday writing and a Life Noble notebook for my personal journal.

My favorite everyday paper is BrightHue semi-vellum in Violet. I'm down to my last ream of it. I probably won't buy anymore, however, because I am determined to use up my existing stash of paper so that I can focus on my absolute favorite, Dempsey & Carroll in ecru.

Currently, a tie between Tomoe River and Rhodia.

I prefer the way Leuchtturm feels to write on but not the cream colour. I prefer pure white paper. Some on the Oxford paper are nice butnot the glossiest ones.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
