I'm the same way but I use a hobonichi journal with a frixion erasable ink pen. It flows much smoother. I used to use a moleskine with fisher pen but I kept having to go over lines again. Maybe it works better in space.

If you're already using the frixion pens, you might like rocket book notebooks as well. They work with the frixion ink so that the pages wipe clean with a damp cloth, and there's also an app that will scan your notes to your cloud storage or email.

Hey how well does this work? I'm really interested but I'm wondering if after a few uses there is some residue.

I used to use rocketbooks back in school, and they were quite nice. This was a few years ago so I can't comment on it now, but I really enjoyed it then. You could setup various places for it to save to and there were boxes at the bottom of the page I could check and say the first box was checked it got sent to drive, the second box could be like dropbox etc I had all mine set to different google drive folders for my classes. It was able to scan everything quite well and was honestly pretty seamless to me. I feel like there were more features but I can't remember now, even if there weren't though I still liked the organizational structure of it all.

I haven't had any issues with residue after a lot of use. The only thing to watch out for is writing too hard and leaving a scratch in the paper, but that's easy enough to avoid.
