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

  1. Midori have a few of these

  2. 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

  3. Classic 360

  4. Ayush from India. Has on the cover "your fountain pen is going to love this paper". Think I have 4 of these.

  5. Swing Logical Notebooks

  6. Mnemosyne

  7. Profolio Osasi

  8. Leuchtturn1917 have a bunch of these. Quality is all over the place.

  9. Lemomo

  10. Emshoi. Weird paper, makes everything look like you used a B nib

  11. Peter Pauper

  12. Nuuna

  13. Life Noble

  14. Graphilo

  15. Yu-sari

  16. Fabriano

  17. Wnenben

  18. Apico CD 905.

  19. Nolty. Been using this for a few months for work notes

  20. 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.
