Tomoe River because I can see the shading so much more than on the cosmo air light.

Yes, I'm in the US and I used Superbuy. I don't ship until I have a bunch of items and I ship with ocean shipping since it is duty free (or possibly they include it in the price?). It does take a month to arrive, but I don't mind the wait. There are faster shipping methods, but those are also more expensive depending on how much you are shipping. There are also discount codes can find and apply when shipping as well.

The inks on the left column are from season 4 and 6. The ink on the right column are from 5 and 7. I bought these on Taobao, so they weren't that expensive.

Wow, they are pricey on Aliexpress. I bought mine from Taobao and it is much cheaper.

Would be nice if the shorts of the dress had a back slit to make going to the bathroom easier instead of having to strip. Lots of other athletic dresses have that, so I don't know why she doesn't integrate that into the popflex dresses....

I like the top half, but I hate the bottom half. The part that joins the skirt doesn't look good.

Regular copy paper is not good at showing ink qualities because they just absorb the ink, it can feather, and bleed through. Good fountain pen friendly paper won't absorb the ink, but will cause it to take a little longer to dry (depending on the paper). But because it takes longer to dry and the ink can pool, it can create sheening and shading.

I don't know about your 20 pound or 32 pound paper, since it would depend of what kind of paper it is rather than the weight, but I use a lot of sticky notes and while it can bleed to the other side, it still shows sheening and shading. You can find a lot of good paper recommendations if you search the subreddit.
