I don’t have much experience with fountain pens and I purchased the Lamy to correct that. I like the texture of the charcoal model and it is probably the most comfortable pen I’ve held in a very long time. This points that I’d like to mention that I don’t think have been discussed much in other reviews are related to the quality of the line that it leaves behind. The first of two areas of concern for me is that while the pen is very smooth, the first half inch or so of each time I put pen to paper after even a few seconds break from writing is dry (no ink on the paper). The second point may be more obvious to experienced fountain pen enthusiasts, but since this pen is marketed toward newbies, I feel it is relevant. Anyway, the nib is not flexable at all. Although some reviews did mention something to this effect and perhaps it was even in the description, I didn’t really know what this meant when I ordered it. For those of you like me, let me clear up what that

All the positive reviews for this pen are not mistaken, it really is that good–I say this after using it for about six months. However, I only gave it four stars because the Medium nib is more like what would normally be considered a Broad and lays down a line that’s a little wide for my taste. Go for the fine nib: Lamy Safari Fountain Pen – Charcoal – Fine . That’s what I did when I realized how wide the Medium was, and it’s more suited to everyday writing, in my opinion.Other than that, though, you really can’t beat this pen. As far as looks go, the charcoal body gives the pen a dark matte look that, while not being obnoxiously attention-grabbing, gives it a noticeably elegant look; I’ve been complemented on the pen by almost everyone who has seen me writing with it. The unique design adds to the appeal, in my opinion.What truly sets this pen apart from others is the incredibly amazing writing experience it gives. Seriously, best pen I’ve ever written with, and I’ve written with more expensive fountain pens (though, admittedly, nothing top-of-the-line or anything). The ink flow is always smooth and even and not too wet, the nib is very forgiving and will still write at almost any angle, and the pen is light and comfortable. I had been nervous about the triangular grip since I don’t hold pens properly, but even with my bad form the pen is comfortable; in fact, I think my pen-holding is slowly being corrected by the form-encouraging grip.Durability is great for a fountain pen, and despite my dropping and banging it around these past six months, it still looks brand new. This includes taking it with me to college and using it every day taking notes.The provided ink is alright, but I’d buy a bottle of Noodler’s ink and refill the cartridge with that. It’s extremely simple to do and much more economical; all you need is a syringe or eyedropper, and you can refill the cartridge with any color ink you want without needing to buy a converter.Really, this pen is amazing, you can’t get anything better for the money. Just make sure you get the Fine nib, which is broad enough to give your writing body but still thin enough to write small.

It’s been many, many years since I’ve used a fountain pen, and I had almost forgotten how much I love them. I got the Lamy Safari, Medium nib, and the only problem I have with it is that the grip area is not smooth and round. It has a terrific grip with squared-off edges, and that would be great if only it placed the nib in proper place for my own peculiar writing position (watch President Obama sign something and you’ll have a better idea of how I write). I’m trying to figure out a way to turn the nib to the left (with the nib being held at the right end) a few degrees. So far I haven’t been able to do that. I watched a video showing how to change nibs with the assistance of tape, and I’m going to try that next, but replacing the same nib in a slightly different position. I don’t know if it will hold in that position but this try is part of the ongoing experiment. After starting this review, I found a beloved student Sheaffer (304) fountain pen. It had been in boxes from one move to another for the past 45+ years (I am NOT a hoarder! I just know what’s worth keeping; finding it again is the problem). There is a dried-out ink cartridge in it — “Washable Blue” — and a lone unused replacement cartridge in its partial packaging. That one is also Washable Blue, Skrip, and printing on the back that says “12-packs, 98?.” How times change. I will try filling a cartridge with a syringe (the only benefit of having a diabetic cat is the availability of syringes).I really do like the Lamy. It has a good heft, which is something that appeals to me, and once I readjust my hand to suit the grip, writing is mostly wonderful. It came with one cartridge, but I ordered a converter, which I haven’t tried yet. The great thing about using a fountain pen, for me at least, is that my really nice handwriting is returning. After 30 years of home computers, my handwriting had transitioned into something resembling runes or chicken scratches. I thought my old handwriting was irretrievable, but no. It just needed a fountain pen. Oh my, I’m turning into a crazy person, obsessed with fountain pens.

Very pleasantly surprised to find that this Lamy Safari performs so well for such a low price. Mildly irritated that it didn’t come with a converter. This is mentioned in the text on the page from which I ordered the pen, but I missed it.The nib is a very attractive black metal which is more flexible than my Montblanc Diplomat medium point, or Cross medium point, or Sheaffer fine point, which makes it fun to write and draw with. The nib is exceptionally smooth. Its flexibility gives variable line width while writing which gives character and individuality to one’s handwriting and makes drawings different from — some say better than — from those done with rolling writers and ballpoints.As the ink in the converter diminishes, the ink flow decreases causing an increase in friction as the nib moves across the surface of the paper. The pen was supplied with one ink cartridge. I thought it was a converter and tried to fill the pen. Others have mentioned its similari

My first experience with the Lamy Safari fountain pen was two or three years ago when I bought this same pen, but with a fine nib. I really did not like it and got rid of it not long after purchase. The fine nib was difficult to write with and it just did not work well for my uses.A couple of weeks ago I picked up the medium nib. I needed a new pen and the Lamy just have stellar reviews. I have to say that I am now in love with this pen. Amazon shipped via USPS, which I hate, and the package came smashed, bruised, and broken. BUT, the pen itself was in perfect condition and had somehow survived the onslaught. I also picked up some extra ink cartridges. I’ve not tried non-Lamy cartridges in this pen yet.The pen writes very well for it’s price point and has become my everyday writer. The medium nib is perfect for me and it glides easily across the pages of my notebooks. The cutouts where your fingers hold the pen are comfortable. The pen writes fine without the c

This pen is light but has nice grip to it. I believe it is a genuine Lamy fountain pen. It is really not the expensive pen to begin with it. It does not cost near to Mont Blanc or Waterman. I will definitely carry the fountain pen for everyday uses.

I recently started in the fountain pen game and I highly enjoyed the smoothness of how the ink flowed onto paper. I only had my Lamy for about a month before I dropped it at a park ???

I got a real Lamy (since some said they didn’t), I like it well enough. This is my first foray into fountain pens and I’m not sure if the “fuzzy” lines (see uploaded photos for comparison of my writing between gel pen vs. this) will go away as I get more used to the pen or if it’s a function of the ink I used or just the nature of fountain pens. That said, it’s not BAD, it’s just not as smooth-lined as gel was for me.I wanted black ink so I bought Waterman and a converter; it was very easy to use this pen with bottled ink. I will keep/enjoy the pen, but if the “waviness” of lines continues I’ll probably keep gel pens on hand if I need to write something very small and neat.

This pen replaces the previous Lamy that I lost somehow…..Still love it!

Love the pen! I didn’t realize that it came with a blue ink cartridge, so if you prefer black ink, you should buy those separately.
