LAMY Safari Fountain Pens

Bought this as a gift for myself with my Gift Card.
Love writing with my colourful Lamy pen!

Bought the red Lamy Safari pen for my boyfriend and he was so happy with it. I appreciate that someone from the Opus team got it from me from the back when the colour wasn’t readily available. Great service!

I'm trying to teach myself how to write again. A fountain pen seemed a good idea. The Lamy is pretty smooth, comfortable in the hand and, at around forty bucks it feels like I don't really have to cosset it.It's a very competent working tool.

It’s not great. It doesn’t work as smoothly as I’m used to with lamy. I’m not sure why not. I’m using the cartridge ink. Disappointed.

I like this pen.

The ink flows really smoothly, the nib doesn't feel scratchy and it's pretty easy to control. The clip feels sturdy, but the cap on mine doesn't seem to stay shut very tight. I would have preferred black ink - the default blue is nice enough. If you're wanting fine lines, you might want to get a separate nib as the base nib is quite bold. The grip is triangular, so if you are particular about your pen grips, consider trying it in store.

Overall I do enjoy writing with the LAMY safari, it genuinely feels just a little bit more fun. 4 stars for the fun and ease of writing, the minus 1 is for the cap and the barrell twisting too easily. 😊
