LamySafari Fountain Pen (14F) Sky Blue + 5 Black Ink Cartridges (O158944)

Lamy Safari fountain pens have quickly found their way to my heart. I was looking for a *particular* shade of blue for the body, and found it with this "Sky Blue" one. It writes smoothly, and with a Lamy converter, becomes a beautiful daily pen.

I like the very basic aesthetics of the product it’s beefy and writes wonderful

Acabado, material, escritura y durabilidad muy buena.

I love this pen! In fact I love these pens so much that this is the second one that I have bought. My first one is royal blue, and I might just buy myself a yellow one as well. Great price, great quality, contoured design so comfortable to hold. The ink is smooth so when combined with the great quality of the pen, my writing is beautiful, no smudges, no skips. I would recommend this pen to anyone who loves writing, and loves pens. If you don't love them, you will after you try this one.

TL;DR: Great pen; good deal; perfect if your new to fountain pen or looking for a good workhorse pen to carry around.There are already plenty of reviews on the internet about the Lamy Safari, so I'll try to make this a short one.Safari are overall really good fountain pens, from my experience (I own too many of these...). The steel nibs are generally pretty smooth, and interchangeable between Safari, Al-Star and Studio (and maybe some models I'm forgetting). They just slide over the feed, so you can easily change them if you have some extra nibs around. The ink flows nicely, a tiny bit on the wet side, but they can be used on almost all papers without problem (that also depends of your ink though). The pen body is made of sturdy plastic, so it's light, and it features a triangular grip to help you hold it correctly (useful if you've never used a fountain pen, but can be annoying to people who hold their pen differently). If you'd prefer a sturdier body, the Lamy Al-Star is basically the same pen, but with an aluminium body. They come in a bunch of bright colors, between regular and limited editions. The pen can be disassembled easily (the nib and feed are just friction-fit) for cleaning, and they're designed with notches and grooves to help you replace everything in the correctly spot. The downside is that this pen doesn't come with a converter, so you either buy one separately, along with some ink, or stick to cartridges.I got this pink Lamy Safari for 35$ from Stylish Kitchenware via Amazon. That's usually around the price they sell for in Canada, but the bonus with this deal is that you get a pack of 5 black ink cartridges. I'm not really a fan of cartridges, but they're useful to keep around, especially if you're writing a lot and in places where refilling your pen from a bottle of ink is not an option, like during classes or meetings.
