Y LeeLadies and gentlemen, may I present what is arguably one of the greatest fountain-pen friendly papers and best notebooks in the world:
Life Noble!
And, of course, it's Japanese. What else did you expect?

Urban HafnerIt's new notebook day! Outgoing on the left is a Leuchtturm 1917 in B5 and incoming on the right is a Noble Note (also in B5). Custom artwork by my talented 14 year old daughter using acrylic markers. I've now added a see through cover and two bookmarks. Now the setup work can begin!

Mi Mo (Michelle)Notebook height and width comparisons. I find a visual representation helps even when I can look up the measurements online. Maybe this will help someone else… #stationerynerd #stationeryaddict #stationery Stacked from front/top to back/bottom: first 2 photos show A6 #hobonichi, #kokuyo sketchbook, #midori b6 slim in plastic cover, #stalogy and #lifenoble B6, Hobonichi A5.

SlowRain Has Moved! See below.I haven't done extensive analysis or scientific testing, but I seem to prefer Rhodia paper to Life Noble (both are cream/ivory in color). The inks have a richer color, dry faster, & don't skip or hard-start. Now I have to see if I can track down a Rhodiarama in the B5, A4, or A4+ size here.
I've always wanted to try #Rhodia paper. I know most #fountainpen reviewers have standardized around the dot pad with white paper, but I opted for a tiny lined pad with yellow paper. I think it's nice, but I doubt it'll make me switch away from my #LifeNoble pad.
And this is my current lineup of #fountainpens.
