Very nice handwriting. I'm going to see if I can get some of this paper from Amazon.

It's my favorite paper. It highlights color really well, lines stay really tight and the feedback is very pleasant- helps guide my writing.

 

You can also buy whole reams of this strathmore 25% cotton natural white wove finish paper for less than $20 if you shop around. It's basically the same stuff as the 500 series paper as far as I can tell except that the paper sold in reams has some beautiful watermarking on it

~ Many thanks for this writing sample, @Inked!

Also, many thanks for the information, @cellmatrix.

Excellent nib, excellent paper!

It's a very interesting surface: absorbent but not too soft, and virtually without bleed-through. The wove texture is toothier than the notebooks I've previously used, and it makes all my pens work differently. It favors the medium-to-broad nibs, and if I use my flex nibs, the paper shows the line variation beautifully. My inks also shade less on this paper. It makes my handwriting look very 19th-century, which I confess has been my goal.

For the record, this was the Strathmore 500 Series Writing Pad, 6" × 8" , 50 sheets.

 

Great stuff.
