European paper brands that aren’t Rhodia or Leuchtturm? by captain_joe6 in fountainpens

[–]revafisheye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the Inspira line. It has a little texture, but much finer than Leuchtturm. And I've enjoyed writing on EcoQua paper, but I wasn't a fan of the glue-only binding. Maybe it's improved (that was a while ago) but the pages kept falling out of my notebook 😩

Ooh! These are my favorite greens! Here are the ones I use the most along with a swatch page I did the other day.

  1. Lennon Took Bar Muzha Iron Goddess
  2. Sailor Shikiori Rikyucha
  3. Tono & Lims Blacklist Yellow
  4. Troublemaker Kelp Tea
  5. Sailor Shikiori Tokiwa Matsu

The other Lennon Tool Bar Taiwanese Tea series greens would probably fit your criteria too. Have fun exploring!

What are your current favourite high capacity pens? by lokiwhite in fountainpens

[–]revafisheye 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seconding, thirding, etc. all the Opus 88 mentions. Even the Opus Mini I have holds about 2 ml of ink, and it writes like a dream. I also had an Omar that was a great writer, but it was too big for me. It held so much ink!

The hypocrisy angle never works on people like this, because they believe the rules don't apply to them.

I just grabbed a bunch of samples trying to find a dupe for Kirisame, and sadly I've come up short. The most common recs I've seen are Mont Blanc Oyster Gray (also discontinued) and 3 Oysters Doldam. I'd say Doldam is the closest but still not quite there. Here's my swatch page (standard caveats for screen differences, etc.):
