== Califolio Anginople ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' Califolio Anginople. Califolio Anginople. I'm a little sick, by the way. I don't know if I mentioned that today. That was fantastic. Androfolio Calinople. I'm using that one. It's a new ink. It's a new blend. You might not have heard of it. That's the problem. Yeah. And I'm not having the problems that you're having. Maybe this is a writing style problem. I don't know. Like maybe, uh, you know, I'm going with the grain. I don't know. Cause me and you, I mean, just the way that we use pens is like, couldn't be more different. So I don't know.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' For the record, I'm, I'm using, uh, Kaweco Sunrise Orange.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Okay. So, I mean, I would love to know, uh, what the listeners are experiencing. Like, because I really am not, I'm not getting it in the way that you're explaining it. This feels as good to me as, as any of the good field notes papers for founding pens.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' How does it compare to byline? Like, do you see, have you been able to test that comparatively? Byline is spectacular. This is so different to me.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Um, I've gotten next to each other right now. Uh, so I'll tell you how I would explain it. I can explain this in a way that I think it sounds like you, but maybe I don't, I don't feel it in the same way. Byline, it feels like the ink is more sitting on top of the paper. And with, uh, the black ice, it feels like it's going in. Yes. But I don't find that as a problem. I think it feels kind of nice.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. There's like a nib attachment to the paper, you know, not good way.

'''Myke Hurley:''' See, this is the thing. When you say that, I imagine like it digging in and not moving, right? Like that's how it sounds the way you're describing it. Well, I, I had some catches. Yeah. I, that happened. See, I would say that that makes sense to my usage, like from the way you're describing it, but it's not in a negative way. Right. Like it's not catching for me. I've tried four different pens, you know?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Um, but the thing, the thing is I don't really care because I still use other pens and field nodes more than I use fountain pens. So I'm good with that.

'''Myke Hurley:''' This is more of a thing for me anyway, because I only use fountain pens, right?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yes. And, and I almost never use fountain pens really except in byline.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Maybe I'm, I'm generally more forgiving of this type of paper because I've used the worst kind of field nodes, a paper for fountain pens, you know?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Exactly. You've always been that way. Yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So maybe, maybe just the benefits of this are far outweighing the negatives to it, but like, I'm not seeing it the same way that you are, but I will also attest of all of the pens that I've used, I'm getting no bleed through and that is incredible.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, that's true. That is, that is true. Even with the amount of ink going into the page, there is no bleed, which is kind of crazy.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Uh, I think actually it was, well, you know, I was, I was kind of critical of the lining, like the fact that it was lined. It's so faint. It's not a problem for me.
