Confessions of an Office Supply Junky - Episode 19: Two Notebooks Reviewed

Joe places a visit to his favorite office supply store - Pen & Pad - and buys two notebooks for review: a Clairefontaine Pupitre and an Ogami Mini.

I once found these Ogami notebooks in the art stores here in the UK around 2016 and instantly fell in love with stone paper because of the insane smoothness but they were quite expensive and not so easy to find despite stone paper being a more eco friendly alternative to wood based paper and only ballpoint pens worked best on it which was fine as I prefer BIC and Parker ballpoints anyway. Everything else smudged and took way longer to dry plus the mechanical pencils just jabbed into the page, but wood pencils were ok. I had tons of stone paper notebooks from various makers but I kind of overdone it and ended up with too many so I have some left....Oxford and Modestone from Finland. My only notebooks are Silvine, Oxford + Black n Red, Leuchtturm 1917, Sigel Conceptum, Leitz, Nuuna, Clairfontaine and Rhodia.

Clairefontaine is amazing

I like that notebook too without the red line! And I know gregg shorthand. I never liked that damn red line! Even in shorthand you could only get 3 words in that narrow column and I just ignored that line!
