I’ve spent way too much money on fountain pens, and these are the ones I like the best: https://www.muji.us/products/aluminum-fountain-pen-e5a2 - less than $16 bucks too. Only Muji sells them so you won’t find them on the list here. But do buy ink and paper from jet pens.
Muji notebooks are amazing. Get a nice cover and enjoy them, especially if you use fountain pen like me, but other pens work just as fine because paper is awesome.
I saw that too. Who knows where the risk is from? In CA they have really strict rules around cancer labels so basically everything and every plance has them now.
