Your journal reviews are the most comprehensive on the internet. Well done! (And I agree with your findings about Leuchtturm 1917. They're nice, but not superlative.

Thanks for review. Do you have favorite for fountain pen use only? Is it midori or rhodia better buy? Cheers 😊

I am SO annoyed with Leuchtturm paper: I had two 120gsm in A5, and the paper felt really good, and worked well with foutain pen, but this weight only exists in A5, and I'm a B5 girl for my planner/journal. So this year, I bought a B5 planner in 80gsm, because the spreads looked ideal to my practice. And it's awful! It's incredibly transparent (and I like to write with large nibs), and it gets crinkly like bible paper, I really don't understand! In the same weight, you have school Clairefontaine paper (well 90gsm) which doesn't ghost at all, the standard Clairefontaine (like in Rhodia notebooks) that works fine, the Paperblanks that is insanely good (well except the 120gsm, which baffles me a little), or the thicker Tomoe River (it's like 70gsm I think? Not the 52gsm one), and then Apica and so on. I really don't understand the Leuchtturm hype, honestly, I think it's just snobism. And I had the same experience of badly glued binding with one of my A5, which means it must happen regularly. Sorry for the rant, there aren't a lot of people that are as nerdy about paper as I am, and as you're very knowledgeable in all things stationary, I thought I would share 😁! Thank you once more for the in-depth and carefuly researched reviews!
