i use the Filofax - so far - more for business. i would also like to use it privately in 2025. that's why i asked for new inserts for Christmas. I use the Japanese products for journaling and so on. I simply love Japanese paper. Midori, Tomoe River, Hobonichi etc.
The thing is with fountain pens and filofax you often need an alternative to the loops to carry them as the loops are not flexible or adjustable. You either have to find the best fountain pen to fit the loops or another way to carry them. IMHO the loops mean most popular fountain pens do not fit.
Does anyone know what popular or easily sourced, half decent EDC fountain pens that fit loops?
Yes. Travelers Company make a brass fountain pen that's small, durable, has an integrated clip, takes standard cartridges and writes beautifully. It's easy to get but it's not cheap. It would last decades if used correctly. I have one in my Cuban Personal Zip and it is lovely to write with.
More fountain pen friendly paper to print and punch at home. Always more paper-always!

DeleteI would love some planner peace ;) But lots of punched narrow-ruled paper in the personal size would be nice too!
