I've been into calligraphy for years now - it's a wonderful hobby with anywhere between absolutely none (pseudocalligraphy with a pencil/bic) and a very low cost to entry (blackletter with a parallel pen) that I seriously encourage anyone to try out! Just be warned that it's a gateway drug to the fountain pen hobby, which uh.

quickly becomes a not-cheap hobby. Good god.
What paper you use? I've tried Rhodia and quite like it
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)
