As part of my recent site reorganization/maintenance, I’ve updated the “Hierarchies of Fountain Pen Friendly Paper” post to reflect not only reader suggestions from the comments, but my own discoveries in the year since I initially wrote the article. The comments section on this post is extensive, and contains many recommendations beyond what I’ve been able to verify and incorporate into the list, especially on the lower-end of the price spectrum. Be sure to give the comments a read, and feel free to leave your own feedback and recommendations!
You can check out other informational resources under the “Resources” and “Archives” tabs, including the comprehensive fountain pen review archive I’ve assembled over the years. Keep an eye on the site for more educational/informational content as the year goes on, as expanding this type of content will be one of my main goals for 2022!
Paris, France-based Soumkine is now available in the shop! Not only do we have the gorgeous Mustard notebook with the vintage styling, but the notebook also comes in a plain charcoal or rose-colored cover.
I’ve managed to add many of these brands to the shop, so you can purchase good paper directly, but where necessary I’ve linked to other trusted retailers and/or manufacturers who sell directly. None of these third-party links are paid affiliate links. If you would like to support T.G.S. even further, please consider checking out the T.G.S. Patreon Program, which offers access to online meetups, exclusive discounts and pre-orders, and more!
