I just ordered the Sterling ink b5 yesterday. Perfect timing. I love tomoe for fountain pen and stalogy for the grid size. I recently started scribing the Bible, so that a special thing that I wanted to use the Sterling for. It is more of an investment for a long project. But I do love my stalogy collection for everyday use. Honestly, I’m just a notebook addict. lol. Nice review on the differences.
Thank you! This is exactly the video that I was looking for. I use the Stalogy and wanted to see the grid size compared to the Sterling Ink planner. I definitely need the larger grid size. This was super helpful! 😊
I also purchased the B5 Stalogy. I use mine for work notes. I use my hobonichi tomoe river paper for my Journaling. I think both are good. But I wanted to save money on work items. Rachelle in Seattle
I ordered a hobinichi for 2024 and the tomoe paper didn’t feel like it used to. It was so much thicker. So I switched Stalogy because it’s the closest thing I could find to the original tomoe river paper
Great video comparison! Sterling Ink and Tomoe River paper fan here. I can see uses for both. I do kinda wish that the B5 for SI had the 5 mm grid, but it's not a deal breaker. I have large handwriting, so I ended up using the height of two boxes for one line. The more economical Stalogy is still a great buy imho, especially if you're on more of a budget. I tend to use the Stalogy for lay out ideas and testing and the Sterling Ink Books for my "keeper books". Last year I was in the SI b6 for the full year of the planner. Just want to say, She chunked up quite lot ( I add a lot of stuff also) and I STILL prefer the gilded edge look on her. With my white page books, by the end of the year, the edges seem to look "dingy" but the gilded edge doesn't take that "dingy" look on, and even though it chunked up and the pages were a lot more separated by the end of year, you could still tell they were gilded. Will never go back to white edges for my "keeper" books again lol

Thank you for watching!! I agree-I could use either because I just love notebooks, lol!

@@brandeesteffens1344 I’m so glad this was helpful, dear! Thanks for watching! 💜
Sterling B6 Common planner has been bae since it came out. This is my year using the notebook.
#BAE 😂❤

Thanks for tuning in, Rachelle! Yes, Stalogy is the more economical choice and the one I would choose if I was selecting a notebook for work. Enjoy!
I’m a sterling ink fan. I would like to try the B5 size and just to try the size i would get a stalogy. Sterling ink it’s still Bae! lol
You introduced me to Sterling Ink-appreciate you! 🫶🏽
I just ordered a stalogy but the Sterling ink I have in a pocket and love it. I am hoping to journal more and I would love both.
All the notebooks, sis! 😂😅🙌🏽

@@MyLifeInTheDesert I totally understand! I hope you love it! 😍
I don’t pay attention to the date on the stalogy either because I can’t see it - but maybe I need glasses 😂

🤣😂 I agree with not going back to white edges!! You should join me this evening for some journaling (live here on UA-cam, 6PM EST)! 💜
Thanks for sharing this comparison. I am looking into the sterling ink b5 as it is a new size for me.
Glad it was helpful! I love the B5 size! Enjoy!
So glad I found your channel. B5 is my favorite size and I've been wondering if I should go into a stalogy or a sterling ink next.
Ooohhhh, what did you decide? You should join me this evening for some journaling (live here on UA-cam, 6PM EST)! 💜
No pen test? I would have liked to see a comparison fountain pen test. Which has the worst ghosting?
@@LenaMellow My apologies! I didn’t think of it in the moment.
Stalogy -- the only size that has 4 mm grid, (if memory serves) is A5. All other Stalogy sizes sport the 5 mm grid.
@@bomag5629 thanks for sharing!
Good nbooks ❤️❤️❤️😊
Yes!
