I can only hope I come across something equally nice one day... *sigh*
I think I'll give Cosmo Air Light a chance someday, maybe I'll just get a small notebook for a "disposable" goal first before I buy a more thick/expensive one, so thanks for the recommendation! :) Maybe it'll really become my next favourite paper, who knows? What's funny, I realised that a lot of people love the "old" Tomoe River paper (the one used for Hobonichi), but I completely fell in love with the "new" one (not Sanzen, produced shortly before it). They are supposed to be the same weight, but they feel VERY different. The new one is more crinkly and firm, but still smooth and coated. I wonder which one you have, because if you have the Hobonichi type paper, the "new" paper feels different. Just in case you come across the other type!
That sounds like a good choice! :D I have only got Kon-peki and Tsutsuji, and have also tried Ajisai and Momiji. I would like to try Tsuyu-kusa sometime. Kon-peki made a super dry fountain pen I got write very smoothly! What are your favourite colours of Iroshizuku? I've heard Montverde has issues with mold, and since I'm very paranoid about that, I've been steering clear of their line of inks... even though it is very nice looking! ^^; My favourite brands are Sailor and Diamine, though! I'm not a "brand loyal" person, I just feel drawn to their inks a lot. I really like the Kobe #17 ink by Sailor, I've been looking for a very long time for an intesive true blue like this. The only downside is their smell, it's awful (and I can#t imagine it to be healthy, tbh :o ). I really admire your dedication to finish the inks you got. I'm not as invested as some people in this hobby, but 1-3 bottles a year do happen.
