i've been falling down this rabbit hole for a few months now. i started with a pilot metropolitan and now i have two of them. and a TWSBI eco. and a TWSBI 580. And I just got a pilot 74 to try a gold nib but I am determined to stop now.

I've been really impressed with the quality of the TWSBI pens in particular. They're not as expensive as most of the really fancy pens I've seen, but they definitely feel like a step up from the metros. I've also not really had a problem with left handed writing, surprisingly (using robert oster inks on rhodia pads, which i already had a ton of).

Can you all think of a reason why, with the same ink and pen, a notebook would have terrible bleed-through on page 1 and apparent rhodia-level resistance to the same issue about 15 pages later?

I guess there must just be a difference in quality among the pages used in this notebook, but frankly I find it a little bizarre that it could vary this much. At its worst it was making me not use the back of the pages and at its best it's the best paper i've tried (writepads notebook, by the way).
