Finding the right notebook for your fountain pens can be just as important as the pen itself. The wrong paper and you're dealing with feathering, bleed-through, and ink that never quite looks the way it should. In this video, I'm breaking down my favorite fountain pen friendly notebooks across three price brackets — under $25, under $50, and over $50 — so no matter your budget, you'll know exactly where to spend your money. 📓 What's covered in this video: * My top notebook picks under $25 — great performance without the guilt * The best mid-range options under $50 — where quality really starts to shine * Premium notebooks over $50 — are they actually worth it? Whether you're writing daily, journaling, sketching, or showing off your ink collection, there's a perfect notebook on this list for you. 👍 If you found this helpful, please like, comment, and subscribe to BlakesBroadcast for more fountain pen reviews, ink tests, and stationery content every week! 🔗 Links & Resources My stationery store: https://thepapermind.com The Paper Mind Tomoe River Hardcover Notebook: https://thepapermind.com/products/tomoe-river-hardcover-notebook-blank ⏱️ Timestamps 0:00 Intro 0:15 Background 0:47 Under $25 1:09 Midori MD 2:24 Nebula Note Premium 3:16 Stifflex Flex 3:47 D.I.
