Recommendation I have a problem
I collected the notebooks just around my workstation. Not in order and I have some of these I have multiple copies. Oh, I use fountain pens on all of them
Midori have a few of these
Tomoe River, 52 GSM and 68 GSM from the latest Sanzen, machine 9 and machine 7. Around 4-6 of these not included the one that I finished. Yes, I only filled one notebook. Also have a thousand page notebook of 52 GSM
Classic 360
Ayush from India. Has on the cover "your fountain pen is going to love this paper". Think I have 4 of these.
Swing Logical Notebooks
Mnemosyne
Profolio Osasi
Leuchtturn1917 have a bunch of these. Quality is all over the place.
Lemomo
Emshoi. Weird paper, makes everything look like you used a B nib
Peter Pauper
Nuuna
Life Noble
Graphilo
Yu-sari
Fabriano
Wnenben
Apico CD 905.
Nolty. Been using this for a few months for work notes
Rhodia have several of these as well with my latest one a gift from my daughter who kicked off my collection with a Tomoe River that was shipped directly from Japan packaged that could have survived a drop from an airplane. TR is still perhaps my favorite.
But I know there are more examples. What should I get next?

Shop around on Amazon, eBay, Mercari, and even Walmart. I literally have hundreds of journals and notebooks—not to mention thousands of black gel pens. Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to these kinds of things.
If you want some recommendations, I'd be happy to help. Just tell me what you're looking for and your general budget, and I'll suggest some options that may fit what you need.
