Be sure to follow along as I continue this process and I will be glad to answer questions along the way.

Get ready for a deep dive into the new Yamamoto Paper Bullet Jotter system! In this video, we put not only the included Soliste and Sheep Cloud Bond papers to the test, but also bring in the highly requested Meringue and Canopus papers for a truly comprehensive comparison.
I will be using my set of now standard pens and inks for great side by side comparison across different papers which has fountain pens that go from extra-fine to broad, as well as some other pens including ballpoint, rollerball and even a Sharpie. I am also adding in a swatch of the Teranishi Guitar Gentle Green to see if the papers allow for the ink to change colors at it drys.
After the tests, all sample pages are carefully added to my A5 ink and paper testing Plotter. This ongoing archive not only helps in future reviews but also builds a permanent reference.
What paper or ink should I test next? Let me know in the comments!
I purchased this from Gentleman Stationer. Here are some links to the products shown in the video.
