I’m not going to review or comment on the actual Plotter …
The world of fountain pens has been mourning the loss of Cosmo Air Light for the past few years. While it was never as popular as Tomoe River, it was beloved by many sheen enthusiasts. A little over a year ago, Iroful made its way onto the paper scene. I may be a little late to the party, but I’ve …
While many people reading this probably use their fountain pens on a regular basis for daily tasks such as writing lists or taking notes, some of you may occasionally write (or want to write) letters.

While it doesn’t look like he currently has the same notebooks that …
Next in the series of Kokuyo Campus notebooks, today we take a look at another High Grade notebook. This particular notebook has Kokuyo’s MIO paper in it.

Kokuyo has an impressive lineup of Campus notebooks, the most popular of which is their inexpensive notebook aimed at students. Look beyond that basic Campus notebook, though, and you’ll find a variety of notebooks with higher-quality paper options.

In the world of fountain pens, Rhodia paper is somewhat ubiquitous. It is widely available and, while it is not extraordinary, is fountain pen friendly. When the Rhodia Goalbook was first introduced, I didn’t pay much attention to it. It seemed like a Leuchtturm, only made by Rhodia. It wasn’t until it kept popping up in comments as something people …
