| Victoria's Journals Smyth Fashion Flexy Dotted Bullet Journal |
I've been a full-time fountain pen user for twelve years now and finding good quality paper products still gives me a different kind of high every time I find one. It's a feeling closely similar to finding a good nib, or a nice-flowing ink. As I gathered new products and materials for my blog, I came across Victoria's Journals again, a line of notebooks available in our local bookstores. A stack of three different notebooks was sent to me from their manufacturer, and I am so happy to see that they are all friendly to fountain pens and ink.
I received a Copelle Gold Edition, an Old Book sketchbook version, and a
Smyth Fashion Flexy Dotted Bullet Journal. Of the three, I was drawn to the smooth and soft leatherette cover of the Bullet Journal. It has a fountain pen-friendly 80gsm ivory wood-free paper, and the A5 size is just the perfect size for me!

The Bullet Journal is available in four colors including burgundy, brown, blue, and black. It follows the regular A5 size measuring 5.8 x 8.3 inches (14.8 x 21cm).

This A5 notebook contains 192 dotted pages of ivory wood-free paper. The paper is smooth and suitable for use for fountain pens, gel pens, pencils, or markers. The pages are Smyth-sewn, which gives the notebook durability and allows the pages to open flat. A lovely white ribbon page marker with a metal pendant bearing Victoria's Journals logo is attached to the notebook.

To test the 80gsm paper in this Victoria's Journals A5 Bullet Journal, I used a whole page for most of my inked pens. The paper showed the shading in some of my inks, and all of my pens wrote smoothly! There wasn't any feathering or bleeding even with my wettest broad and italic nibs.
