Lamy Safari Charcoal Matte Black Fountain Pen

Disappointing at First

I was excited to try the Lamy Safari medium nib pen based on all the good reviews, but mine arrived very scratchy and when it did write, wrote more like a fine nib than a medium. I have spent some time adjusting the nib based on online instructions and recommendations and that has helped a little to smooth out the writing experience. But it still writes much finer than other medium pens I have and so far isn't as pleasant to write with as I was hoping. I might have to try a broad nib, but I hate paying another close to $20 just to try a nib that I'm not sure will be any better.

Outer bubble package insufficient to fully protect contents. Pen itself survived but the original Lamy packaging was crushed.

Value for money!

Great pen at a great price.
