A solid notebook with high quality paper.
I've never heard of this paper before so I thought I'd give it a try. The Paper Mind has products I don't see anywhere else. I also really love B6 lately so I wanted to try B6 slim. I really like this notebook! It lays totally flat, which I love. The paper reminds me a bit of Cosmo Air Light. It's a little spongier than something like Tomoe River. But my pen doesn't drag on it, which I like. The size is very portable which is an unexpected bonus. There is a little header blank space at the top of every page; it's nice for a date. There is no feathering, no bleed through, and barely any ghosting even with my broad and flex nibs. Thanks to Blake for always having cool and unique things to try. Service was excellent, as always!
Just received mine, and I love it! After a pen test, I think your review on YouTube was spot on. I love the crisp handfeel, and 60-70 gsm is my preferred sweet spot. The writing performance feels a bit like MD paper with a similar dry time and light feedback, but white instead of cream - yay! I do wish it showed off sheen a bit better, but I'm happy to make that tradeoff for what is otherwise a really great paper. The cover material and binding are just beautiful. This will replace my Midori B6 slims for as long as you offer them. I'd also love to buy more in other sizes and/or grid format if you ever offer that. Thanks for doing what you do :)
