Oxalis Pad - Second

The paper quality is genuinely impressive for a seconds batch—smooth, thick, and takes ink without bleeding through. I've been using one as my daily scratch pad and honestly can't spot the flaw that kept it from retail.

The cover feels slightly textured and the binding stays flat when I flip through it, which I didn’t expect for a second quality. There’s a tiny smudge on one corner but you can’t even tell when writing on it.

The paper is thick and takes ink really well, which is all I care about in a notepad. For a "second," I honestly can't find the flaw, so this feels like a steal.
