Cosmo Air Light Paper Review

Well, I bit the apple and made my first review video. In this overview of Yamamoto Paper's Cosmo Air Light, I ramble, talk about inks and pens, and caress the lovely paper. https://youtu.be/T4EkXfXDts4

I get a 404 when I click the link. And the URL listed in the browser has this added to the end, even though it's not showing in the text above - so you may want to edit your link to remove these characters from the end: %C2%A0

I really enjoyed your review! I recently bought some Yamamoto papers so I eagerly await their arrival.

 

Also, your video on the demon nib is delightful.

Nitrogen looks beautiful on this paper/in your review! Also that parallel + your custom nib are BROAD (I also noticed Cosmo Air Light causes letters to be a bit broader??)

 

I recently acquired this paper too. I like almost everything about it... I just don't know if I can handle the velvety texture.

 

Thanks for the review :)

After watching this review & searching about for this newly introduced paper I was happy to find DROMGOOLES in Houston offering an A5 spiral bound notebook with the Yamamoto Cosmo Air Light paper.

 

I searched my usual suspects in the US for same & was met with "out of stock" or merely loose leaf selection.  I was really most interested in "sampling" this specific paper & for a reasonable price with same shipping costs.  (Musubi offers a nicer notebook with various options for the paper but the shipping is almost equal to their notebook & I wanted to try the paper before committing to an expensive notebook.)

 

I was extremely grateful to DROOMGOOLES for their extremely modest shipping cost for merely one small notebook. While many US Retailers are adjusting their shipping costs it was very reassuring to find that this company shipped my notebook for standard USPS @ $3.12 on March 8.  I was surprised when I today received my order after traveling almost 1,000 miles in such a short time!  

 

After being disappointed in performance of the USPS Priority shipping in recent months it was a very nice surprise to find they managed to deliver their lowest cost shipment in such a timely fashion.

 

A large thank you to both DROMGOOLES & the USPS for making it possible for me to receive this new paper experience which is indeed everything the review promised.

      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
