I...do not know what the difference between you and I happens to be, but I've never had to keep a piece of paper under my hand with Tomoe River in order to keep it unaffected. I'm not saying you don't! But maybe I just have really dry hands? Which I do! I'm constantly putting on lotion. I do love Tomoe River as a paper, but I also love fiddling around with different inks and showing off their properties.

Leuchtturm 1917 is really great and it's my second favorite paper. It's also not fussy at all!
