Curious about this because I've been wanting to know whether I'm missing out on anything by not using Tomoe River or Rhodia.

 

I've felt (not written on) Rhodia paper and it feels about the same as JK Cedar. Of course, Rhodia being imported it's expensive (at Makoba Chennai, 1 Rhodia notebook is Rs. 1060).

 

By the way, I haven't written on TNPL Platinum or Excel Bond but I've heard those are FP-friendly so I wrote those as well.

Well, TR is a thin paper that extremely good resistance to feathering.

 

Rhodia, Moleskin are good papers. But is it worth the premium in comparison with sasi Cedar or Bilt or Luxor. Hard to say. The Bilt Natural and Luxor Notebooks have some of the best papers I've written in. I've written with the wettest ink in the broadest nib I have. Both these are amazing and can give Rhodia a run for the money

That looks like a very nice notebook, good quality paper, pity they're not available online. If they were, I'd now be waiting for a couple of blank ones to wind their way to me... well maybe just as well, have too many untouched ones as it is... but, thanks for mentioning it here, and thanks for the review.

Good to see you posting again, too!

I find JK Cedar to be better than Rhodia. TR is the best I've tried.

 

Any idea where to buy Tomoe River in India?

      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
