Paper:

I’ve been a huge Doane Paper fan and the Idea Journal and Notepads are my go-to everyday at home and work.  I recently started using the Flap Jotters this week and am probably converted to use as a replacement to the Notepads.  The paper in the jotter is more fountain pen friendly and I confirmed with Doane that it is a different type of paper than the others.  Highly recommend picking up a few of them.

Favorite Combo:

A newbie to the collection, the Vanishing Point with the Kon-Peki.  My first impressions of this pen are really high and I’m enjoying how reliable and ink flow is.  It starts up every time without a pause of any kind.  I’ll admit, the F runs a little bit fine, but is comfortable.  I’m probably going to put in an order for an M nib unit for it too.  Close second would be the Amber ART Sport.  The M nib on it is extremely smooth and the finish of the pen is phenomenal.  A killer combo.

Editor’s Note:

First off, I have to apologize for creating a monster. I sent Mike a sample of the Iroshizuku Kon-Peki and look at his loadout. It’s everywhere, and I can understand why, it’s such a great color! There’s a great selection of nibs here, covering most bases. Knowing Mike, there’s also a handful of various clicky pens that are not far behind. I also have the ART Sport, the AL Sport, a Vanishing Point, a TWSBI Mini, a Karas Ink, and a Rotring Newton in my collection so I can’t argue with your choices here. I usually have Kon-Peki in at least one pen as well. Great stuff as always Mike!
