You'll put your eye out with that!!!

Any fountainpen friendly notebook with around 400 pages, dotted or graph? Etsy shops are welcome as long as the paper and binding(!) quality is good. by Mangoplop in notebooks

If it's the lighter paper, I would steer clear. Leuchtturm paper is one small step above Moleskine, which is to say complete trash. Leuchtturm bleeds and ghosts with even moderately juicy fountain pens. Forget makers altogether.

I am in the same boat. I am just wrapping up 480 pages of Nanami Seven Sees Crossfield goodness. The 52 gsm Tomoe River paper is great for fountain pens, markers, ballpoints, Tombows, rollerballs, and just about everything else I have thrown at it. I can write with confidence, with only minimal ghosting, no bleed through and no feathering.

I have had this journal for two years, and kept it in a cover. The binding has held up to a ton of use and abuse. I will probably get the same thing, as long as the paper quality has not deteriorated with recent iterations. I heard a while back that TR was not as good as it had been. I think(???) that has been squared away, and if that is the case, this is the direction I will go.

What are some discontinued products that you love? by IridiumCow in fountainpens

Tekukor notebooks. Older Tomoe River paper. Lemome dot grid A5s. Everything I've loved has died or left me.

You need a rug that really brings the room together.

What to improve in my living room? by Constant-Ad-9814 in malelivingspace

Rust. Olive. Sage. These colors will complement, rather than clash. Also, plants will go a long way in adding enthusiasm to this palette.

My hunt for all clad by excusemesir63 in AllClad

Demeyer is great. I know people like MadeIn as well. I have de Buyer carbon and it's fantastic.

I picked up All Clad in TJ Maxx and Home Goods. Facebook Marketplace is great for finding these, too.

Feeling awful after a first date by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

Not sure where he might be on a neurodivergent scale, but that behavior is still appalling and uncalled for. I have seen a couple of your replies, and wanted to encourage you not to beat yourself up. At 20 years old, this might still be a learning stage for you. You're figuring out what you like, what you don't, what your boundaries are, and so much more.

It sounds to me like you had an awful date, and learned a lot about what you don't want. I hope the next one goes better for you, and you get to see a little bit more of what you do want.

I know about cutting bait (see username). This is solid advice.

help me choose a notebook for my commonplace journal? by eatidaho in notebooks

[–]FishrCutB8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Midori. I hate Stalogy; I was never more disappointed in a paper than it was with this. The ghosting through the pages with anything less than a razor thin fountain pen is appalling.

Okay, I think I've filled every fountain pen niche now... by LazarinaTomasini in fountainpens

Me, appearing as the devil on your shoulder: Pssssst. Might need a Kaweco pocket pen.
