    Moleskine Notebooks; Have One?

    David: Yes, absolutely! The sketchbook has some oily substance on it, which precludes the page from receiving the ink. After writing on the sketchbook with a fountain pen, it clearly looks like the ink is just sitting on the page and cannot sink into the fibers. The "Plain" notebook and the...

    Fountiain Pen Medium Hello: I am new to this site. I don't know how I found it, but I am glad I did. This is my ideal world. Well, I'm sure my personality will come through in due time. I was wondering specifically, Moustache, if you look at you pens in descending order top to bottom, what are...
