What is Reddit's opinion of Oxford Campus, A4 Lined Paper Refill Pad, 300pg, Navy, 1 Notebook?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I use the Oxford brand for notes and random scribbles. The Oxford Campus refill pad is a good option, it's got 300 sheets in it. Not quite college ruled, at 8 mm, but stil a great reasonably priced paper for fountain pens. It also has the Scribzee system, which lets you make a digital copy of your notes with the Scribzee app (which is free).

Depends on how large, and more especially, how wet your nib is. But, if you're in the US, look for Top Flight Wired notebooks with "Made in Vietnam" on the back - I prefer the ones with the wire at the top - out of the way of my writing. I can find them in my grocery stores.

Also, Walmart Exceed journals (soft and hard cover), should be cheaper than Kokuyo. They come in 78 and 100gsm - which you need will depend on your ink and the wetness of your nib.

And then there's these (300 pages of Oxford Optik, better, IMO, than Kokuyo): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079STHBST/ They come in and out of stock.

I use the British brand Oxford notepads and notebooks for daily note-taking for school (I'm a teacher). It's fountain pen friendly (the optic paper). The Scribsee app makes the paper scanable, so you can make a digital backup with your smartphone. Don't know if this kind is sold in the US, though. Oxford campus refill pad

I'll add a slightly more obscure one that's fantastic with fountain pens: Oxford Campus A4 paper (Link to Amazon). Less than $6, 300 page pad (can buy the binder separately), but I've used all of my pens including the TWSBI Ecos I have: no bleedthrough. Zero.

For me, I would use the Maruman Mnemosyne A4 grid in landscape - with the spiral at the top. Here's why:

• The landscape orientation is easier to write on given the space usually available in training spaces
• The landscape and grid lets me split the page into related columns for notes, diagrams, flow-charts, drawings, etc., with the notes next to the relevant other stuff. Tabular notes are also easy.
• The hard backing is enough to write on your lap, if needed
• The spiral at the top is never in the way of my hand. Flipping the pages up and over seems easier to me in spaces where elbow-room is at a premium (ever notice how they like to pack people too close together? Maybe with COVID, that won't be the case...)
• Very FP-friendly paper. Header for title / date / number is useful but doesn't take up much space.

My second choice would be either Oxford Optik A4 (Amazon) or Black n' Red (Amazon, some office supply places). Kokuyo Campus notebooks might be OK, too.

If it must be picked up at the grocery store, Top Flight Wired notebook, as long as it says "Made in Vietnam" on it somewhere. Again, I prefer the top bound rather than side bound.
