So, I like to write simple notes, journaling, to-do lists, or essays/fiction with a fountain pen whenever possible, and I'm trying to find a good journal or planner to use. My Pilot and Diamine inks feather a lot on the paper I'm currently using, and that's really the main problem I want to address.

What brands or products would you recommend? What kind of paper do you like best?

I originally bought into the hype for Moleskine, but their paper seemed very low quality when I tried writing on it in person at the Moleskine shop in NYC.

Muji notebooks came very highly recommended for their price to performance ratio, and they're the real deal. I much prefer spiral bound notebooks that lay flat like this one, but they also offer a different kind of paper I haven't tried yet.
