How does the Sanzen 68gsm compare to the Tomoegawa 68gsm?

  They are both stiffer than their 52 counterparts. The Tomoegawa doesn’t have that smooshy pillow feeling when you write that the Sanzen does, but they both perform similarly. In general, the 3 68 gsm papers are all rather similar in performance and I haven’t seen any feathering on them.

I received clarification from Stephen at Taroko that the current Enigma notebooks are still made Tomoegawa paper, but that some of the other 68gsm products are using the newer Sanzen.  Apparently the next batch of Enigmas will use Sanzen.  I went ahead and ordered four Enigmas anyhow 😀
