Interview with Urban Hafner - founder of Fountain Pen Companion and Stationery Freak

In this episode we chat to Urban Hafner, software developer, fountain pen fan, founder of Fountain Pen Companion and all round stationery freak
We were VERY excited when fellow Stationery Freak and founder of Fountain Pen Companion, Urban Hafner, joined us on the podcast. Urban is a software developer, fountain pen aficionado, host of two podcasts (one of which is about stationery), bullet journal user and fan of nice stationery.

In this episode we chat about:
  • Fountain pens, inks and why Urban created The Fountain Pen Companion tool
  • Japanese pencils
  • Learning handwriting and calligraphy
  • Why Urban throws away his journals once he's finished with them
  • Urban's paired down Bullet Journal practice
  • Desert Island stationery - the five things Urban mentioned are below
  •  Urban flips the rules and turns his desert island into a paradise
  • Why paper is so important when you're using Fountain Pens
  • A3 paper
  • Helen joins the A3 paper movement and tries, weakly to justify buying a beautiful notebook. She did justify the second notebook as a way to practice learning Arabic.
  • Rob share his use of the daily planner from LoveBellaBeso and also makes no attempt to explain why he bought some notebooks from All Things Analogue.
  • Urban's bought some more postcards to send to his subscribers
