Zanders Gohrsmühle Reflex paper skipping mystery

[jthole]

Recently I bought some 100gsm Zanders Gohrsmühle paper, and I am noticing something strange. All of the Chinese pens I have (Asvine P20 Medium, Asvine V126 Fine, Majohn M800 Medium) skip on that paper (but not on the Clairefontaine paper I mostly use) and none of my European pens skip, so far. It doesn't feel coated or super smooth in any way, so it's a bit of a mystery to me. Especially since they work fine on all my other papers, including Clairefontaine Triomphe. Could it be that those Asvine / Majohn nibs have a slight bit of over-polishing, which makes them picky regarding paper surfaces? But then why the Gohrsmühle, since it doesn't feel like an overly smooth paper.

 

For reference, it's this paper: https://www.amazon.de/Premium-Briefpapier-Wasserzeichen-Gohrsmühle-DIN-A4-Blatt/dp/B000KJOGL0

(otherwise than my Asvine and Majohn pens skipping, I am very happy with it).

 

BTW, of course I don't think it has anything to do with the country of origin ... it's far more likely that the Asvine and Moonman nib grinds have a common characteristic.

Try this: take a piece of paper that is fairly absorbant and put across the paper under your hand and see if that helps by absorbing hand oils. I have had to do that with some papers in the past. If nothing else it will help eliminate possibilities.
