I’ve found Rhodia is very inconsistent with their production quality (and I don’t love waxed papers), but for flip notebooks/sketchbooks they’re a solid choice.
For calligraphy, Tomoe River is a classic (even after the whole sanzen drama its still great paper), but I also really love Iroful, Canson Imagine 200gsm, and any of the Strathmore Mixed Media papers. It depends on the ink I’m using and the effect I’m going for, really, but if I had to pick one Iroful is probably the best all-round calligraphy paper (better shading than TR but with less impressive sheening)
What paper you use? I’ve tried Rhodia and quite like it
