I’m a big lover of the a6 Kinbor notebooks because while I do love many things about the Hobonichi, I use the Uni Jetstream as my main pen, not a fountain pen, so the big perk of the Tomoe River paper isn’t really applicable to me. Also as a student the price point is above what I’m willing to pay and I love an undated planner because some days I use 8 pages and others I write one sentence haha. After my partner passed, I wrote around 30 pages a day for a while. I like having all my things in one place, (journal, planner, homework, quotes, doodles, project planning, junk journaling, etc.) so the Kinbor is perfect for me. I think I’ve used 4 or 5 of them?
Typically I reuse the cover I got with my first one or make my own, but I decided as a treat I’d buy myself the one I’ve been wanting for years and it was on sale! Waiting for it to arrive is a little torturous if I’m honest though lol thankfully I’ll only have to wait around another week. That’ll also be good timing with school starting up again!
Here is an example of how I typically use my journal :) I love combining all sorts of things in my pages. And this is my main pen! I’ve gone through the black ink twice and had to replace it haha. The Uni Jetstream is so nice oh man I love it! This one in particular was a gift from a friend which makes me love it even more.
