Leuchtturm1917 are absolutely my favourite notebook. They are however, quite expensive here in the UK. And then I found TKMaxx!! Less than half price. I avidly scour the shelves as sell very quickly.😊

I have the pink cliff, love it. I wish the violet blackberry was also matte, though. I don’t like the glossy safaris.

Thanks very much. I was getting frustrated but this method worked very well

I am not sure about their journal quality but oxford is a brand with great fountain pen paper! I am a student from germany and most of us were taught to write with a fountain pen, so oxford is pretty popular here. I guess you could compare them to clairefontaine.

Well if your poor youtube and redit doesn't matter 😂😂

Leuchturm for the win, every time. Graph squares layout is my favourite, followed by the dot grid layout. I love the paper - very tactile and not glaring white.

I love Dingbats notebooks as my go to. Great build quality and amazing paper at 160 gsm. Just the right amount of feedback and great with fountain pens.

You have a beautiful lamp.

I wanted to love Leuchtturm, but whenever I would use my fountain pens there would be certain spots on the page that would not pick up my ink at all. Outright reject it, like it's waterproof. Here in Finland I discovered Victoria's journals, and I simply fell in love with the paper! Such good quality!

What is that desk in the background?

If you have fabric fix glue it adheres fabric to fabric or fabric to other material well.

Hi any first mechanical pencil recommendations? Thanks! Doing lots of math and want something comfortable.

Reusing at least some of the staple holes can help index the paper. After all, they lined up in the first place. It also minimizes how many extra holes you're putting through the section if you're worried about the integrity of the paper. Das bookbinding is also a pretty good resource. I've found his stuff very easy to follow.

Greatly edited and very professional! You deserve more praise

I use a gel ink pen on my Moleskin with no problems.

Almost ANYTHING is better than Moleskine if you are using fountain pens. I hope a lot of people see this video. Moleskine has coasted because of good marketing and early appearance when good notebooks were not as common.

New update! I'm now selling my own handmade notebooks on Etsy! I only have a few left but hope to add more soon. Check them out before they're gone! Link: downthebreatherhole.etsy.com

I have Waterman Parker and Scrivener.

The Parker Jotter XL is 30 dollars.

Namiki white Rabbit 12k for one.

I used to buy only moleskine and then I noticed my ink starting to not write on sections of the paper. I bought a Leuchturm1917 and sold all of my unused moleskines on eBay.

Moleskine quality cratered when they outsourced to China. The paper quality and construction was noticeably better.

I wonder if there’s a way to degrease the page. Prior to writing.

killer secret - those marble notebooks used by engineers all around the world - including on the Big bang Theory are the best notebooks

Ohh I love the way you talk! Moleskine was a topic in my university script about Storytelling. This shows how much good storytelling sales even tho there are other alternatives, which might be even better. Super interesting video, thank you for sharing!

Update! Both of my TWSBI Ecos have cracked at the end of the grip section, which means they leak ink onto my fingers as I write. I think the problem probably arose from me tinkering and nib-swapping too much, so maybe it's my fault. However, TWSBI, as far as I know, encourages tinkering, so it's sad to see that their pens can't hold up to it. I'm sure TWSBI would help me replace the cracked parts, but this experience has made me not really want to use my TWSBI fountain pens anymore, and I no longer recommend them.

I've never and an issue with the quality or paper of the Moleskine. I think this is because they're not meant to last for extended periods of time. If you write in them, you go through them faster than they wear.

The Leutchtturm1917 has been my go to for years after switching from Moleskine. The numbered pages and dotted ruling are a game changer. From a leather maker, I bought a cover that protects the notebook. Such a great product.

Welcome to the inky goodness of swatching!!!!! I am in love with your syringe tip!! Thanks!! I’m totally trying that!! I make watercolors with my leftover ink from the syringe.

I love love love my Rhodia notebook (softcover). Since I prefer saturated and wet inks the Leuchtturm paper is not the right choice for me. The orange details of the Rhodia a really fun and the paper is heavenly smooth.

Great long term review. All of my twsbis have cracked on the inner threads in the cap

Helen Wang of The Coffee Monsterz UA-cam channel just posted her ink swatches in a notebook, but she cut up strips of paper from notebooks she typically uses. This way she can see how the ink colors contrast on different papers.

Still using Noodler’s?!?!? 🤢🤮

Hey Brian! I love the splatter idea! Now just to make a plan to not have my office look like Jackson Pollock painted it, although that could be cool as well. Thanks for sharing!

I use a cheap old t-shirt underneath my cards when i swatch and when I refill pens. I just like seeing the cotton get saturated with the ink and seeing it spread out. It also gets all the different colors on it and it's just fun. No, I don't plan to ever wear the shirt.

Love the back of the pen. Great idea!

Before gluing, make sure the right side of the fabric is facing down. You want to glue the cardboard to the wrong side of the fabric.😊

You can also use a fountain pen as a dip pen. No need to fill it up if you are doing multiple inks. You’ll need to rinse it off but won’t need to fully clean.

I got into foundation pen for improving handwriting , i can say your handwriting is not yet improved after so long 😂😂

I’m glad to see you are having fun with the inks! Sorry about any spills in the mail. I wish I could keep that from happening. I enjoyed this video because I have been reconsidering how I do my swatching. I have always swatched several different inks in the same color family on one sheet of paper. This makes the swatches hard to reorganize. I have a new idea for organizing swatches and I am looking for a good time to try it out.

Thank you for sharing, mate. Using the back end of the glass dip pen is a brilliant idea! I too was keeping a list of inks in the back of what-ever-journal I was using at the time. Indeed, this is not a good idea. This is a timely video as I just bought myself a dedicated Rhodia Spiral Notebook to swatch all of my inks in (with a dedicated ink swatch stamp).

I use 3x5 index cards cut in half with Q-Tips. Work great. Cheap. I use a dip pen to write.

I have some of those Wearingeul cards on order to do my first swatching, so this is a timely video for me. :) Love the ink syringe technique - I think that gives a really cool effect.

I very much buy notebooks based on the ribbons and elastics. Obsessed with both features.

Just a thought, but maybe punch the holes before you remove the staples. The center one could come out to punch the middle one, but the other two can remain to keep the pages aligned while punching the holes.

It seems to me that if you bind it before removing the staples, then you're guaranteed that everything lines up (at least as well as before) without any extra steps. Anyways, thanks for the idea.

i was thinking more of @PracticalEngineeringChannel for the likeness comparison 😅

Thanks for the video. Love those bright yellow covers. If you are.ip for a new idea...why not try a "travellers notebook" type of binding? You put an elastic along the spine and can refill with new pages whenever you need. You will find tutorials for this on YT very easily.

Hi, I had a question. There are quite a few viles of ink that I will never put in a pen just don’t like the color. What do you do with them?
