I'm still using my 1989 vintage Filofax planner with a new week on two pages diary.

I'm a Filofax user, too. This year I'm using a Slim Organizer with week on one page inserts in cream. The paper is surprisingly fountain pen friendly, though I'm keeping it safe with Sailor Souboku. Aurora Black also performs well. The other inserts are also fountain pen friendly, with the lone exception of the blank note pages. My guess is because the blanks are not printed with anything they are left untreated, whereas the pages that have something printed on them have a coating or something that makes it FP-friendly.

 

Has that been your experience as well?

Yes, it is.  The FP friendly paper feels more polished.  The paper that isn't FP friendly seems to be less polished and has more 'tooth'.  That would make it more absorbent.

      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

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
