I now have a fountain pen which works, Jinhao brand. It comes out of China, looks nice, and I can write with it. My schoolteachers used to say rude things about my hand-writing, never seemed able to teach about it, and then insisted I use a fountain pen in exams.
This is the glorious past that some politicians shout about.

I bought a very cheap hardback notebook from B&M — size A6 "Tiger" brand — and the paper shows no bleed-through. Lined paper so maybe not for everyone, but I can use it to practise. I know people who do Journalling have strong opinions. They wouldn't be seen dead in a B&M shop, it's too ordinary.
