Moleskin notebooks are OK, but I much prefer Leuchtturm1917 (https://www.leuchtturm1917.com) which are available blank, ruled, squared, and dots. I like the dots as I am neatness challenged when writing. I also like the Fabriano Misto Carta notebooks, particularly the gluebound A5 stars version which allows pages to be easily separated.

I use a variety of pens and pencils--my brief case usually has a substantial selection, enough to start a small writing instrument store. Lately I have been using Pentel CLICK 0.7 pencils available from Costco. They are nice for fine detail and have a substantial eraser. They have a very different feel from the iconic Blackwing 602 Palomino wooden pencils which I use for hand written drafts.
