The paper is smooth as butter, and if you’re into fountain pens like I am, this paper’s a dream. No bleed-through, no feathering—just clean, crisp lines every time. Whether I’m jotting down notes or just writing for the fun of it, it feels like the pen and paper are working together. The notebook itself is well-made, sturdy, and fits nicely in my bag without getting damaged. If you want a notebook that handles fountain pens like a pro, this one’s definitely worth the investment! Review: I love Lochby's stuff! These notebooks are great and work amazingly with my fountain pens. They are my favorite fountain pen notebooks.

These journal refills are okay. They work and are well bound and do not bleed even when I draw with a fountain pen on them. BUT they’re kinda overpriced for what they are. If you look around you can find journal refills made by the same manufacturer for cheaper on amazon and even in your local staples (like a 3 pack of these for cheaper)

The 68gsm Tomoe River paper in this A5 is perfect for the ink flow I run on all my fountain pens. I tune ALL my feeds and nibs to run EXTREMELY wet. This paper is great for that. With that said, I run so wet that I can only use one side of a page no matter who made the notebook. Rhodia, Mnemosyne, etc. I’ll tune the nib back if I start bleeding through, but ghosting is guaranteed (for the way I like to lay down ink). Anyways, the inks look great on this slightly cream colored paper, and really holds up great!

These notebooks are great for use with fountain pens and are reasonably priced in their quality category. The paper has lovely surface, but like most Tomoe River, the ink is a little slower to dry. Especially useful if you want a notebook that is not too thick. This is 72 pages but slender (4mm) due to paper's weight. Highly recommended.
