Moleskine

I entered into this review with very low expectations for my Moleskine notebook because if you’ve ever scanned the reviews online, they’re largely negative. My review, and particularly my pen test, completely turned around my view. This journal could handle a wide range of pens and markers and even watercolour paints and it’s well constructed too. The narrower size probably won’t suit my usual creative journals, but it will suit purposes where my focus is on note-taking.

My in-depth review video looks at the construction and features of the journal, the quality of the paper, interesting information about the company, and includes a pen test of a full range of pens and watercolour paints, with a special fountain pen test. See my pen test page for an explanation of each test.
