Thanks for the info. I opted for the Sailor and have been using it as my primary writer for a week now. I must say that it is a very different writing experience than my TWSBI Diamond (F) and the Schmidt #5s on my YStudio Brassing and TC pens. It really feels like I’m writing with a mechanical pencil. I enjoy it. I now have the Diplomat Viper in blue on back order.

I use a passport sized Traveler's Company notebook, and in it, I use their dot grid refill which uses 80gsm Midori paper. I'm very happy with it. Other inserts I use are their 2024 monthly calendar, monthly free calendar, zipper case, and craft folder. I also use their passport size plastic sheet which I place under the page on which I'm writing to serve as a desk-like surface.
