I haven't but i have heard that it's fiddly. I had two things in the cons column for Hobonichi: one was the paper and the other was the memo page (what would i use it for??). I doubt i'd like to use a cotton glove every day for the next five years when i write in it, which would be the best protection against hand oils. I usually use Pigma Micron or Uni Pin pens when i write in my journals and planners, so i think i'd be fine on that front.

Actually, when all things are taken into account, i'm leaning towards Leuchtturm. I've been using their notebooks for the past 4 years and they're amazing. One of the notebooks has been banging around my backpack for the past year and a half; it still looks good and the binding hasn't loosened.

I love Leuchtturm, too. My penultimate journal was a hardcover one, and it was so so nice. I will definitely be keeping that brand in the rotation.

Leuchtturm is my favorite when I'm not using my Traveler's Notebook. I flop back and forth depending on what's my planner/journal needs are at the time.

I love all the color covers, the bookmarks, the numbered pages, and that the paper holds up to fountain pens.
