Hey there
First paper review here, so I have no idea what I am doing!!!!
I got the Filofax pocket notebook from Goulet pens, as I couldn't seem to find them elsewhere, especially here in Australia
I put a few pens a go on the paper, and I don't mind it overall as a left handed user compared to Rhodia and Clarefontaine, mainly in terms of drying time
As you can see in the pictures, the paper suffers from a tiny bit of spread with some inks (Iroshizuku Fuyu-Gaki seemed the worst for this), some showthrough, and some bleedthrough, but only with flex nibs and a really wet Pelikan M1000 loaded with the Fuyu-Gaki. Feathering wasn't a real issue with the finer nibs - broad nibs etc caused a little, but I was happy enough
I was surprised with the Faber Castell, as it has a very wet B nib (it is actually SBRE Brown's former pen from his GOAT pens), and didn't suffer as badly as the M1000
OVERALL:
As a pocket paper that dries quickly (a must for a true pocket book that is pulled out and put back in pockets often), I think it is great - I definitely wouldn't be using and big broad nibs whilst on the run where I would be using a book like this - the Jinhao 159 would be the broadest nib I would use on the run
Good left handed paper too
Cheers
Mark
