You would dare besmirch the fabled journal of destiny!? Used by none other than the Jersey Devil himself?!
hmmm... Wikipedia seems to not mention his penchant for fine writing gear. Perhaps some creative edits are necessary.

Yeah... With Pelikans I would only ever want a larger pen. The 300 doesn't do it for me.
I suspect that the elastic sewn to the loop just needs some time to relax a bit.

Why isn't it playing well with the 200 ?
Exactly when I'm buying a car and going to be in the middle of moving soon. Well I'll just have to get next years! Or depending on the auction maybe I'll pick it up there 
Let us know- I love my M200.
The cap snags on the loop going in and it is work to get it out. I'll try leaving the pen in for a few days.
Looks like I've got a present waiting when I get home!

Does the plain Black folio come with the refills, or is it just the paper?
The leather folio is brown, the refill for it is the black "book" pictured in the first post.

Here's pics of mine!!

Nice! How is the journal/book for staying open? Do you have to fight it to get it to lay flat? That's my gripe with A5 and smaller hardbound journals.

I've written four pages so far (two pages back and front) and the only page that gave me any issues was the very first page. Seems to have the glue holding the pages together about 1/4" up from the spine so it doesn't lay 100% flat. Writing in that area (typically where I start all my sentences aside from my first which is indented) was a chore painful enough I stopped about 1/2 way down the page.
Like John the loops are a bit tight on my pen (Visconti Van Gogh), I'm hoping that use will loosen them up a bit. Smaller pens should be just fine and the only part that gets snagged is the cap - the body fits loosely.
Very happy with the journal so far! Definitely worth the investment as this is the most I've written in quite some time.

Mine stays open without any trouble. I had the same issue with the first page. My "51" Flighter fits in the loops with ease. The paper is great, smooth writing with a pinkish tinge to it.

I just received mine today.
Now of course, the question: What pen should I use to inaugurate the notebook with leather cover?
Hero 616? TWSBI? Or maybe I can find a nice Parker 51 somewhere?
The leather smells outstanding, the quality is top notch. Thanks to Brian W and Scott @ Franklin-Christoph for putting this together.
If I were to take it into work, I would positively ooze class.

I purchased the A6 and a refill. I received it today.
I noticed that the A6 refill is ruled, but the one that came with the leather cover is blank. That is NOT what I was expecting.

That is indeed odd. I just reread the description on the West Coast Shaving website:
"Badger & Blade A6 Notebook Cover, Saddle Brown complete with a ruled firma-flex notebook inside."
"Badger & Blade A5 Notebook Cover, Saddle Brown complete with a ruled firma-flex notebook inside."

Im guessing thatbis a packaging mistake
I contacted West Coast, and it is indeed a mistake. They are sending me a replacement.
I know you guys love pictures
Such a great leather notebook. My whole office smells like leather at the moment. Well worth the money but then again, all B&B branded products are
