Gosh, what a delightful German combo!
Charming composition and photo too, lm6. Well done.
It gives me an immense pleasure...
...to see that there is still so many people out there who are writing...and in a Filofax no less! We find these practices still alive and vibrant in Japan and hopefully also in Germany and many more before as people takes a calibrated respite from their digital screens and 'pads'! (and the Lange in this combo, austere in a very good way, is a perfect match). I have this same ebony Intuition.
I enjoy writing by hand, almost always with a fountain pen.
In a way it makes me feel more present here and now. The writing demands (in a kind and nice way) that. I often write draft by hand before writing on the computer. I find it makes it more concentrated. This Graf von Faber-Castell is a true pleasure to write with!
Thank you for sharing!
I do exactly the same--hand-written notes and then writing the manuscript on the computer. I observed that not only is this a delightful experience but that my recall of the materials is much better; in a notebook, sometimes unexpected connections could be made when notes superimposed on each other in the physical world too.
Great discussion
This is exactly the kind of conversation that makes this community special.
Thanks lm6.

I am in love with all of it — same here — almost an exclusive use of fountain pens — love the flow of ink to the paper!
