Great video!! Just FYI, while I love the Pilot Frixions, I lost the first 3 months of my planner notes because I accidentally left my planner in my hot car. I tried the whole stick it in the freezer trick to try and get it back, but nope. All gone. So unless you never plan to have your planner in a hot environment, then go for the Frixion because they write so well, otherwise you're better off choosing a different pen.
I buy Sarasa Mark ons and put them into other Sarasa metal bodies. The only thing that causes me to continually bounce between Mark-on and Energel is the needle-tip on Energels.
I love my Frixion pens in all my planners. I use the .5 and .7. And swipe mildliners over them immediately. They never have smeared. But I leave these pens on my planner desk. Erasable ink isn’t good for writing checks or signing legal documents. 😊
Thanks so much for this video! I will use a Hobonichi Cousin next year for the first time. One thing about the Pilot Frixion . I have never been able to write over an erased area with them!
Great pen review Julie I'm with you with on loving that true rich black ink, one of the reasons I rarely use a ball point. I will be purchasing the Tombow Mono touch pen! Thank you!
Love these kind of videos! Wish I had this when I was searching for the perfect pen lol. I have now fallen in love with the Uniball one, I love that it doesn't have that faded black colour.
Thank you so much for doing this video! I ordered my planner and thought, how am i going to know which pen to use...and then your video popped up! Super super helpful!
My favourite pens on the TRP are the energel clena range in .5, or .4. .3 is good but a little too faint for me. Definitely agree on the sarasa dry pens x
Thank you so much for this! I will be starting my Hobonichi Journey soon and I needed pen and marker recommendations! Happy to know I will not be ruining my Hobonichi with smudging!
Lefty here - I took your recommendation on the uni one .38 and have been using a few weeks now in my hobonichi and love it! Bonus that they’re just so pretty AND actually fit in my cover’s pen loop.
thank you Julie! I've been wanting these pen+Hobo details for a while. I need to branch out from the Zebra Sarasa dry! however might stick to it, didn't know about the wide body option!
So happy the Microns passed your test. Got my first Hobonichi, the 5 year. I have to wait until January 1st to start using it 😢 But I love Microns, and I look forward to also testing the Sharpie brand micron-like pens because I'm big into color coding topics and I'll also be using mine to "journal" my path in learning to draw & stuff. I'll be using lots of different writing & drawing mediums in it probably. I need to find out how it holds watercolor and oil pastels. I have time to wait for it to dry. Pray that I can keep up with a daily journal for FIVE YEARS. That's not really ADHD friendly. 😬
The Uni pen that comes as a gift with the hobonichi each year is my failproof choice on the go. sure it's just a regular ballpoint pen, but it won't smear with highlighters, which is so important to me, and it's also super fine which is good because i write extra small and i also use japanese, for which sometimes a ton of strokes in a small space is required. I'm not too big on frixion pens either, so i'm a correction tape person and for those times a ballpoint pen is also the best.
I recently discovered Pentel Enajeru Euro .35 pens on Amazon and OMG. True love. A smoother writer than the .38 Clenas for me and very little smudging on the hobo paper.
I’ve been using those for over 5 yrs and never had that issue. I think it matters more if you’re in Texas or florida. In the Midwest it’s not hot enough to dispapear.
Great video! Always love seeing the pens. But I’m having a hard time finding the Sarasa dry drift grip is it called something else? I even went to Cloth and Paper and they don’t even show it. I like thicker pens, and I cannot lie. Thank you😊
Great video! I really like the first test pen you tested, I believe it's the Uni Jet stream ball point pen. Can you please let me know where I can buy this pen? Thanks so much!
My heart: Best pen you must get asap, is a Pilot,. either a 823, an Urushi 14K nib, or at least a e95s ! - My wallet though: Best pen for you, is a Pilot V5, get that, or stay inkless! lol
Actually no. But that’s the beauty of the TRP! If you want no ghosting or shadowing, a different planner all together might be best. But I say give it a shot at least! It has this worn in/ loved feeling that can’t be duplicated by other papers!
Just seeing this video - but seriously ?! , a 20 minute video on just pens?? Why can’t we be neighbors?❤ I only just found the first person who loves pens as much as I do - a new coworker. 🩶

Yup that’s why I rarely use them for anything important 😂😂

This was so helpful. I am new to the Hobonichi world. Thank you!
As a lefty, I LOVE the Sarasa Dry pens. I put the refills in my Uniball P body, or the Sarasa Grand body, and it’s perfect!
Texas clearly suits you - you look great! Don't use a hobonichi but love all things pens!
Thank you!
Thanks so much for this video! I will use a Hobonichi Cousin next year for the first time. One thing about the Pilot Frixion . I have never been able to write over an erased area with them!
I'm watching with subtitles and just loved reading about lettering with the tombow "food in a suitcase" pen!!😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you for using the new Hobonichi paper !!
I love the microns! I am a champion smudger, so this video helps so much with what pens I can maybe not smudge.
Great pen review Julie I'm with you with on loving that true rich black ink, one of the reasons I rarely use a ball point. I will be purchasing the Tombow Mono touch pen! Thank you!
Julie you are absolutely beautiful!!
I knew I would be adding pens to my cart after this video 😍 my go to on Hobonichi paper is .38 G2 and the Energel Clenas is .4
Can’t go wrong with either of those!
Your new office aesthetic /vibe is so lovely!! Helpful video!
Thank you!!!
Very helpful video . I love your new office. Think about a vlog that takes us around the house. Blessings.
Hopefully soon!
I've tried the Clena, Sarasa dry and the Uni Jetstream. The Jetstream skips so much! The Clena takes too long to dry, but my Sarasa is just right! ❤
I love the Pilot Frixion on the Tomoe River Paper. It’s underrated 😆
Clearly! I had no clue!
Love these kind of videos! Wish I had this when I was searching for the perfect pen lol. I have now fallen in love with the Uniball one, I love that it doesn't have that faded black colour.
Yes! I believe Uniball also won an award for having the blackest ink!
I absolutely love the Pilot G2. It writes great. But, yes it does smear badly! I’ll just need to be very careful and patient!
So pleasantly and clearly demonstrated. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for doing this video! I ordered my planner and thought, how am i going to know which pen to use...and then your video popped up! Super super helpful!
So glad! Thank you for watching!
Thanks for making this video! I JUST got Hobo Cousin yesterday and heard about the pen and paper issue.
My favourite pens on the TRP are the energel clena range in .5, or .4. .3 is good but a little too faint for me. Definitely agree on the sarasa dry pens x
Love the Clena too but yeah, not as pigmented as I’d like
Thank you so much for this! I will be starting my Hobonichi Journey soon and I needed pen and marker recommendations! Happy to know I will not be ruining my Hobonichi with smudging!
Yay! Glad this was helpful!
Thank you for a very informative video. I just bought my pens using your recommendations :D !
Lefty here - I took your recommendation on the uni one .38 and have been using a few weeks now in my hobonichi and love it! Bonus that they’re just so pretty AND actually fit in my cover’s pen loop.
Yay! So glad it’s working for you!
Great video, thank you! I’m a new subscriber!
thank you Julie! I've been wanting these pen+Hobo details for a while. I need to branch out from the Zebra Sarasa dry! however might stick to it, didn't know about the wide body option!
There’s so many great pens out there!
Thank you for this review. It helps me a lot choosing pens I want to use 🥰

It’s a Jetstream!
@@ReineDeLaSeine14 thank you so much! I had to corroborate with my ink refills right after posting this comment too 😅
I recently discovered Pentel Enajeru Euro .35 pens on Amazon and OMG. True love. A smoother writer than the .38 Clenas for me and very little smudging on the hobo paper.
I wish I could do .38 pens but they are too scratchy for me
Fantastic info. Thank you so much❣ 2024 will be my first year in a Hobonichi!
You’re very welcome!
This is exciting. I discovered Hobonichi in March 2023.
Thank you for this. It was super timely, as this is exactly what I was wondering.
You’re very welcome!
You're so cute! I don't even own a Hobo planner but I always watch your videos! :)
Thank you 😊
Not sure if you are looking for planner suggestions. Just found this Canadian brand Aura Estelle. They have a Hobonichi feel.
yes I've tried them before!
@@JuliesPlans is there something you haven't tried?
Thank you Julie! This video was so helpful and appreciated. ❤
You’re very welcome!
They all are the pretty❤❤
Great video, Julie! I'm a Clena girl.
My clenas were still packed away but they are definitely still in my top 5 pens!
Your nails are beautiful! What color do you have in this video?
Thank you! Don’t know the name of it, it’s SNs dip :)
@@JuliesPlans thanks. :)
Great pen review!
Thank you!
Don't use frixon pens, if they get hot the ink disappears
My planner doesn’t go outside though ☺️
If you put them in the freezer it reappears! It’s actually just thermal ink 😊
I’ve been using those for over 5 yrs and never had that issue. I think it matters more if you’re in Texas or florida. In the Midwest it’s not hot enough to dispapear.
Thanks for this demo. This is very helpful. It seems that the TRP-S has a shorter drying time compared to TRP.
I think so too! It’s so great!
Thanks for this video Julie! Have you ever used a pencil board? I’m wondering how that would affect the indent on the underside of the page
I have! I don’t use it often, I kind of like the ridges my pen leaves ☺️
Well done! Informative!
Thank you!
Hi! Will these pens also work on stickers?
Great video! Always love seeing the pens. But I’m having a hard time finding the Sarasa dry drift grip is it called something else? I even went to Cloth and Paper and they don’t even show it. I like thicker pens, and I cannot lie. Thank you😊
I found it it’s called airfit grip. I’m thinking the “A” looks like a “D” on the barrel.
The way I prefer writing in blue pen haha
lol I love it for work!
To be able to write again in the same area you just erased the frixion you have to wait.. As it won't stick to a part that is "warm"
Great video! I really like the first test pen you tested, I believe it's the Uni Jet stream ball point pen. Can you please let me know where I can buy this pen? Thanks so much!
Jet pens carries them!
My heart: Best pen you must get asap, is a Pilot,. either a 823, an Urushi 14K nib, or at least a e95s !
- My wallet though: Best pen for you, is a Pilot V5, get that, or stay inkless! lol
I wish there way a list for the specific pens and highlighter so you could click on the link. Otherwise nice video.
Thanks
I’m shocked you didn’t test the Clena’s lol
They were still in a box in my closet! Lol still a top 5 for me 🙂
Are their any pens that do not shadow or ghost to the other side?
Actually no. But that’s the beauty of the TRP! If you want no ghosting or shadowing, a different planner all together might be best. But I say give it a shot at least! It has this worn in/ loved feeling that can’t be duplicated by other papers!
@@JuliesPlansthat's the main reason I use thin paper. I lpve the used feel and look.
What are the best pencil lead sizes that show up best in the Hobinichi? Your favorite erasable mechanical pencil? 25:11
I don’t use pencil 🫣
I am completely confused as to why you would expect the Pilot Frixion to smudge... 🥴😉
Because most pens smudge a little 🤷🏻♀️ why would the frixion be an assumed exception🤣 ?
@@JuliesPlans Maybe the ink in the Pilot Frixion pens in South Africa are different from those in the States.😊
Thank you for an awesome channel. 👍🏼
