Today I am here with a notebook. As you know among many problems, finding a paper to write with fountain pens is on top in Turkey. Yeah! It is hard but we keep looking. I know it is hard to find a notebook which is widely available, affordable pricing and with good paper. I would like to address to the notebook manufacturers, please make some notebooks with good papers 🙂

| Notebook with gray paper |
Both Deffter and The Container is two brands in Turkey making notebooks. And as far as I know, they are collaborating now. And RAW Notebook, which is made in Istanbul is one of the result of this collaboration. This notebook is a bit different, it has gray paper. Different than what we usually use, like ivory or white.

I used this notebook for a while but for taking photographs I chosed three pens. One is a Pelikan 140 with an OB nib. Second one is a Super5 (click here) which is not very wet and the last one is a Senator Windsor with Broad nib (here) and J. Herbin Carroube de Chypre (and here).

| Fountain Pen |
And as you can see, back of the page is quite interesting. No show through, no bleed through. It makes some bleeding with flex pen though. I got this notebook from D&R stores last summer and it was around 3 Euros. If you like to use gray paper, you can check this notebook.
Cheers,
Zeynep Notebooksan
