Reddit mentions of Brunnen Kompagnon Non-Lined Notebook Lineature 20 96 Pages Black 21 x 29.4 cm

I just finished a 4 year degree note taking with a FP for the whole thing. I used a combination of a Lamy Safari and a Parker 51 mostly with parker blue-black ink or Diamine Sunset. Towards the end I had a VP too but I only got that when I was offered a grad job. For me I took notes from the lecture slides that were released before the lecture that way I didn't need to worry about copying off the slides during the lecture and could just make notes on what the lecturer was saying. I'd use one darker colour for the slide notes and then a brighter colour for what the lecturer was saying.

I used a squared a4 brunnen notebook, 3 of them actually. Its similar to this although not quite. I found for my final project I used a leuchtturm 1917 A5 because it was easier to take to meetings and the library in a coat pocket.

If I were to do it again I'd invest early in a really smooth pen that doesn't fatigue your hand but then maybe it was better to have that cheap safari because I wasn't too bothered what happened to it and I was happier to use and abuse it. I see a lot of people now using EF nibs but don't be afraid of mediums or thicker, they are so much smoother! Best of luck with your studies.
