A fountain pen is a wonderful writing instrument. If you are someone that seems to be purchasing and trying out new pens all the time, then you’ll likely love writing with a fountain pen. Since I discovered them, I no longer reach for a ballpoint; I no longer use a gel pen and I no longer love felt tips. The fountain pen has improved my handwriting, made my hand feel better and they take up much less space than my very large pen collection used to.
Look at this LAMY Safari in magenta.
She’s pretty, huh? She almost perfectly matches my Moleskine Volants in Pink and Magenta. See?
I love the LAMY Safari. This is a great first fountain pen. Some people don’t appreciate the design, but I think you just have to go with it. It’s a nice everyday pen and allows you to either use cartridges or a converter. I use the converter.
I have two LAMYs; the new magenta Safari and the lime green Safari. You can tell that I use the lime green guy all the time.
I use a medium nib in the lime green and a fine nib in the magenta. There are things I like about each nib, but I think I like the fine a little better.
Here’s a pretty little shot:
In conclusion, the LAMY Safari is a great first fountain pen you’ll probably never completely stop using. Because of the color options, it will likely become a personal signature. I highly recommend them.
i love these pictures! Did you take these? I wish I could take pictures like this.
it must be so striking to be out writing with a perfectly matched notebook and pen. where did you get the notebook?
Thank you Jella! Yes, I did take these pictures; but nothing fancy. I just have a basic camera and some basic software.
I picked up this Moleskine from Joseph-Beth Booksellers here in Cincinnati. Thanks for reading!
Hey there. Saw your question on another site about whether this is a Lamy Safari in purple. There is! I think it came out fairly recently. I just bought one and it is beeyootiful. A deep purply plum colour. Lovely.
