How thick is paper, comparable to what?

helpfulIt's really good at 90gsm. Paper is the same as Rhodia, or to be precise since Clairefontain owns Rhodia, paper in Rhodia notebooks is exactly the same as in these notebooks. Only difference is that Rhodia has some texture while Clairefontaine is glass smooth.
These are my current daily drivers. Excellent value for money. Only thing that behaves better, that I found of, is Tomoe River, but since that paper is expensive and fairly thin, I prefer this for my daily use.

helpfulThe paper is NOT the same as Rhodia. It's much smoother and noticeably heavier. While Exacompta owns both Clairefontaine and Rhodia now, they used to be different companies entirely, and the different brands are still made in their original separate factories [EDIT: not the same factories, but the same machines] and retain their own character. The exception is Rhodia's "R" premium line, which was launched after Exacompta acquired the brand. That line, and that line only, is the same paper as ivory-colored Clairefontaine paper. Both brands have great paper, so it comes down to personal preference. I personally find Rhodia an excellent paper, and I love it and use it all the time, but it's not luxurious to write on the way Clairefontaine paper is.

crosshatchThanks for the additional info. I thought they shared paper across all lines of products.
