What I actually use
My Setup
This page used to keep its own list of my gear. It kept falling behind the other two, so it no longer tries. Everything I use now lives in one of these.
Everything
The Stationery Shelf
Every pen, notebook, cover and ink worth knowing about, on one page. Filter by what was measured on a test, what I wrote about, and what I cut.

Resources
The smaller, curated set: the tools I recommend first, plus the books and printables that go with them.
