@Penguincollector  a couple of pages back you said you got some new paper, what did you get?  🤷‍♂️


  I don’t know what post you are referring to, but I this is what I remember getting lately: Sunday I was given a Clairefontaine A4 assorted color paper grid notebook, a friend sent me a Somnium B7 crème memo pad, I found a Kokuyo Color-n-color, an Italian music themed notebook, and a Rocketbook notebook (I think this one is supposed to be reusable somehow, but the coated paper is wonderful for fountain pens) at the local thrift store, plus some Neenah Capitol Bond (no sheen shows up, but great for calligraphy practice)and a couple of Fabriano Ecoqua blank notebooks. I received some Crown Mill and a Fabriano Bouquet of notebooks for the holidays. @Lithium466 also just sent me some Life Writing, Kokuyo Thin, Tsubame Airmail,  and Oxford Optik +. So much new paper is so fun! 

 

Top 5 (in no particular order) of 20 currently inked pens:

MontBlanc 144 IB, FWP Edwards Gardens  

MontBlanc 310s F, mystery grey ink left in converter

Sheaffer Jr. Balance ebonized pearl F, Skrip Black

Pelikan M400 Blue striped OM, Troublemaker Abalone 

Platinum PKB 2000, Platinum Cyclamen Pink

always looking for penguin fountain pens and stationery

Wow, so much paper...😀👍  Looking forward to your evaluations. 👍😀   

I wouldn't mind picking up some more Kokuyo Thin but I haven't seen it around lately.  What do you think of the LIFE paper?  Is it the yellow stuff?  I just stuck some Fabriano Ecoqua in my cart, sounds interesting.
