PRETTY AND PRACTICAL December 30, 2006

I BOUGHT THIS PEN FOR MYSELF, BUT ENDED UP GIVING IT TO MY DAUGHTER WHO IS COLLEGE STUDENT AND A GREAT WRITER. A LIFETIME OF WRITING, SINCE I GOT THE REFILLABLE CARTRIDGE TOO. IN A WORLD INCREASINGLY DEVOTED TO EMAILS AND BALL POINTS, WORSE STILL DISPOSABLE FOUNTAIN PENS -- ISN'T THAT SORT OF A CONTRADICTION?? -- THE LAMY OFFERS AN AFFORDABLE WRITING STYLE AND A GREAT, I MEAN GREAT, GRIP. I NEVER KNEW IT MATTERED SO MUCH UNTIL I HELD A PEN THAT WAS PROPERLY DESIGNED. I THINK I'LL HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER FOR MYSELF, IRRESISTIBLE.
This is the workhorse of my pen collection November 21, 2005

First, let me say that I love fountain pens--all types, but especially Sheaffers. A colleague of mine turned me on to Lamy pens and they've become my workhorses.
I teach English so I grade many, many papers and I refuse to write with a boring pen. I used to use my antique shaeffers until a student almost dropped one. I had to have a daily pen that was, well, near disposable. I remembered the Lamy and ordered a Safari. Now, if something happens to it, I don't have a stroke. Plus, the broad nib has a wonderful ink flow!
I give them as gifts. They are a good pen to start using as they are very forgiving.
Do they write as well as my older pens? Nope. Are they more user-friendly? Yup. (Think mid 60's Jaguar E-Type versus 2005 Honda Civic. Which is more fun to drive? Which would you drive to the grocery store? Get my point?)
Bottom line: It is a $25 pen that you'll use more than your $100+ antique pens.
 great buy December 16, 2004

any of the lamy pens are near indestructible and offer a smooth write for their price. it's certainly no DuPont but its a great pen (especially for someone's first fountain pen)
