I love the size of this pad. I got the graph, and the ruling is fine - could be lighter for my taste. The paper is coated, so be careful about hand grease, but it’s super smooth, and super fountain pen friendly. I like that Rhodia finally comes in not-black-and-orange.

I love Rhodia all the time. The packaging looks even better than the classic ones.

Rhodia Ice is a lovely departure from their standard Orange and Black notebooks with purplish-blue lines, graphs or dot grids. Instead, the Ice line sports an understated silver on white background cover and sedate gray lines or graphs on Rhodia's signature bright white paper that are very easy on the eyes. The size of this particular notepad, No. 12, is perfect for tossing into a small handbag, pencil case, car console, backpack front pocket, or even the back pocket of your favorite jeans for quick notes on the go. Like its larger cousins, it has the distinctive cover scored to make folding it back easy, a strong and stiff back cover so that you can write in your hand without the notebook losing its shape and a protective paper cover over the back cover. Plus, you get 80 sheets of Rhodia goodness, which lasts a very long time. The microperforation has pages tear out smoothly and cleanly, every single time as well. The price seems crazy for a small notepad, but given the quality of the paper and these beautiful small touches, it's actually a complete bargain. Well worth keeping a few of these on hand for quick notes and "Shoot, I forgot to pick up these things at the store" lists.

Most pen folks are probably quite familiar Rhodia papers, but just in case you've not yet used them, here goes. The paper is absolutely super for use with fountain pens; it is an extremely wide nib and very free-flowing ink that can get this paper to even show a bit of feathering/show through. It does cost more than your average tablet, but the quality is so far and above beyond any standard stuff from an office-supply store that I find it a worthwhile and pleasurable indulgence. It's a brighter white rather than cream colored like some comparable and excellent brands, is fairly easy to source (at least around me) and I am never without a pad or two around.
