I compare the six best fountain pen friendly Japanese papers. Unlike "normal" paper reviews, I also include how the paper "feels" and discuss the varied characteristics that people enjoy when using these papers.
EDIT: It has been confirmed that I, indeed, had a bad batch of new TR. I've since tried another batch of new TR and, though it has some small differences, it seemed OK. I'm taking this all with a grain of salt as it looks like they may not make it in house in the future. It is a fluid situation.
