I have too many notebooks and washi😅

Is there anyway you can record from above? Its kind of hard to see what youre doing at this angle. Love your stickers tho! Going to have to check out your shop!

Great video! I just ordered this from Japan in a soft medium! I can’t wait to get this pen! Thank you! God bless you!

Glad you enjoyed the washi stickers! ❤🎉 I already forgot what I sent you but those are my favorite ink colors. I enjoyed watching this video. Lots of ooohs and ahhhs ❤thanks for tagging me

Shop towels are good for nib wiping. You can even get reusable ones

Really nice colors... the vinta bronze yellow is really good. I like a lot of them.

I enjoy cutting PET tape... I hate how hard a time I have removing the backing

Sterling Ink makes plenty of great date stickers. That was actually the thing I started buying first before I got into her planners. Plus love the florals. :)

Medical Republic (out of Australia) has a great article titled "Please Stop Frying Your Vocals, Ladies". It's a quick read, and worth googling. There's also a hilarious clip from the show Loudermilk about vocal fry floating around here on CZcams that you might enjoy.

I hear you with that PET tape. That's me also😅

The Lamy 2000 is my ride or die fountain pen. Maybe not the most attractive, but it writes like a dream and is easy to fill. I have the EF and it writes fairly boldly.

I love my Lamy 2000. I wasn't expecting to because it's so much smaller than the pens I usually choose, but it writes so smoothly and feels comfortable in the hand. I use it more than I thought I would. I like the materials and the elegant and understated design, but the writing experience is most important.

lmao I also gasped when you unscrewed the back! I genuinely thought it was a cartridge converter hahah

Although I am a Lamy fan, the Lamy 2000 is for me one of the most boring pens out there.....

Among the icons in fountain pen world

Her 2025 is much darker

It’s called pebbled 😊

Both are TRP but sterling paper is 100 x better

I got the green one too, but mine is a UEF. I use Monteverde Green in mine, but I would bet that Octopus Fluids Goblin would be great with a Coarse nib.

You are talking about my favorite pen! I’m sort of a newbie with fountain pens but since I discovered Pilots I don’t need to buy any more fountain pens. I have a Pilot Custom 845 and I also have an 823, but the 743 is my favorite. I too hated to pay US prices instead of turning to Japan but I was lucky to find one at less than retail and I was overjoyed to buy it. I am so happy with it! It writes like butter on glass, just to die for. And, like you, I love the color. I don’t really want to use the blue ink that came with it and I am still trying to decide which ink to use. I did buy a bottle of green ink by Pilot, the same one you bought, but I haven’t tried it yet. I have to smile at your pleasure when you discovered how wonderfully it writes because I felt the same way. It is the perfect pen! And with a fabulous color too!

I love Cardinal, it's my favorite red! Rachelle in Seattle

I have some apatite beads. It is a pretty colour. I love that Kaweco purple!

Wow, the Diamine Cardinal and Flame really surprised me - so pretty!

Can you do a fountain pen collection video?

Great review!

One of my local B&N stores had several of goodinkspressions books they had the orange, pink, teal, and black notebooks.

It’s cute & very shiny 💜

Barnes and Noble not Nobles!!!!!!

Field notes or field books paper I'm super curious of pen testing.

Hello! New subscriber here! Thanks for the review! Paper makes such a HUGE difference! A good paper is so amazing to work on!

This is the exact notebook I use every day. Great.

Me (a german) using fountain pens since elementery school watch this an requests 'there's fountain pen frindly paper?' We used the crappiest paper in school!😂 And as a I grew up with Lamy like most in germany I havn't had any problem with any paper, not even in Leuchturm books. And honestly the ink is gosting through your paper so in my opinion it is not realy made for fountain pens... I used so many fountain pens in my life and somehow I always get back to Lamy.

Thank you so much for sharing this. Love the notebook. Here is a quick tip when using your fountain pens or any pens that doesn't dry fast: use a blotter to absorb the extra ink. That way you don't have to wait for it to dry and it'll prevent any of the ink from running. As a crafter I love to use the paper ones and then when they're filled up I use then in my journals or scrapbooks for decorating my pages.

goodinkpressions still uses original Tomoe 68 cream, machine 7 paper, on their website. With a different binding. The rest is machine 9.

Nice! I'll check them out. the B and N in my area stocks Leuchtrum as well. Not my first choice of paper, but their 52gsm loose leaf are one of my favorites for writing down random ideas, intrusive thoughts, and general one-off writing. They have a silky feel that's nice to the touch but can make fountain pens feel a bit "draggy".

Tomoe River is my all time fav, it's thin but works so well with FP but they are expensive. I buy looseleaf tomoe river papers and make make my own notebooks instead

I appreciate your review! In Canada, we have Chapters instead of B&N, however the limited paper that they carry is all for ballpoint/gel pens. A new (to me) brand that I discovered a few years ago and absolutely ADORE are Dingbats Notebooks. They are absolutely incredible and are made to be fountain pen friendly. I found them at a local independent bookstore but they can also be ordered directly from the company.

I don't know if these are worth full price. Nearly $30!

Thanks!

For anyone who is more familiar with traditional American paper measurements, 68 GSM is equal to 18 pound bond. By the way, I recently used your affiliate code on an order at Atlas Statoners and got a nice discount. Thanks! 🙂💰

OMG I need to go to Barnes and Noble😍😍😍

I was wondering how that would work with fountain pens. I was never very fond of the 68gsm, even the OG.

For me it's great, I love it!
