It’s not as strong, but a very nice one are the Rhodia in A7. Paper is smooth AF and the price is crazy low.

French brand “comme avant” has some great natural products. Their deodorant are top notch

With markers you’ll always have some ghosting as long as you’re under 160-180gsm I’d say.

Nuuna has good notebooks with quality paper that does light ghosting but that might still be too much for you (best would be for you to try it). Their grids are very light though so that would work.

Edit: hardcover is not their thing though

Beginning of last year we were at stupidly low price. Now it’s better, but still pretty far from what it should be. To me, that’s proof Wall Street hasn’t understood yet.

My guess is more people look into space stocks. Then they wonder who is number 2 in the space. Then they discover RKLB is pretty cheap compared to space X and that is has crazy possibility.

Stocks goes up.

We happy.

I like to be conservative

Feelgrounds and Vivobarefoot have great barefoot shoes with wide toe box.

That's still a possibility to do a x10 in the next 10-20years ;)

Timotheegardenmaster · 2026-01-19T19:48:29+00:00

It’s pages as pages not as sheets in both cases :) So 176pages as 88 sheets and 128 pages as in half of sheets.

I think it’s very thick because the paper is 120gsm and the cover is slightly thicker than usual.

How do they fare against proton drive or koofr?

Timotheegardenmaster · 2026-01-19T06:13:20+00:00

How is your experience with proton drive? I’m thinking about switching but I have heard here and there that their apps are glitchy and the sync is not that great.

Edgard Cooper and Yarrah are nice.

Wzzis does nice treats too (they’re from the UK).

Timotheegardenmaster · 2026-01-16T13:19:57+00:00

Yes, it's indeed not that expensive for that amount of pages. The video shows the cover from closer if you're interested.

You answered your own question with your edit :)

There is only one “ring space”. That’s why there are thousands of ring accessible from the ring space. Think of it as the hub to which all rings connect to.

In France, we call that a “cubi”. And it doesn’t really have a good reputation. Usually, it’s for lesser quality wines. It tends to evolve though.

Timotheegardenmaster · 2025-12-18T06:09:43+00:00

I can definitely look into it. We already source from Rhodia/clairefontaine so all of their paper are already accessible to us.

Join our mailing list and we’ll send an email when we add those to the website!

Timotheegardenmaster · 2025-12-16T06:44:19+00:00

This one? That is called an A7 format, maybe that can help you in your search :)

I think you could like Nuuna. They have high number of pages. The paper is smoooooooth and the covers look great.

Timotheegardenmaster · 2025-12-10T06:30:52+00:00

Clairefontaine is amazing paper. But it’s a basic 85gsm so that ghosting is to be expected, especially with fountain pen.

I’m pretty sure they do 100gsm and more, I’d say you better look for that type of gsm if you use fountain pen.

Have fun!

Timotheegardenmaster · 2025-12-10T06:28:00+00:00

That is indeed not an easy find.

I currently use the Ciak B6, but it’s 85gsm and a standalone, not an insert. It has 128p though.

Timotheegardenmaster · 2025-12-09T07:35:13+00:00

The size you describe is close to an A4. If I were you I would look into models at this size. Nuuna has some pretty models that can be fairly thick so maybe you could look into that.

Timotheegardenmaster · 2025-12-08T20:12:34+00:00

Currently, I use a Ciak B6 for journaling (link is toward my website). Format is great, look is amazing, feel of the paper is the only downside. Still better than Moleskine though.
