Default Tissue Paper

Hey everyone,

A note in the Ink Bottles thread reminded me that I have been wondering
about nib cleaning paper for a while. What do you all recommend. I have
seen everything from an actual absorbant cloth shipped with some pens,
to people using regular old bathroom tissue.

Obviously lint plays a factor, because the looser, and more lint filled
tissues can leave threads in the nib that affect writing performance
(personal experience), but I was wondering if anyone had any brand or
some such that they preferred to use?

Not facial tissue. I use paper towels, napkins from fast food places, and
toilet tissue depending on whether I'm refilling at the kitchen or bathroom
sink.

That's a good idea -- no "fluff" to get in the slit and suck out a load of
ink.

I think this might get my vote as well for the best idea I've seen, too.
