The best fountain pen I ever had. I've used my Lamy Safari pen and converter combination for almost two years now. I'm a real user. I'm a doctor who works at a paper-based hospital and every day I use this pen a lot, to scribble a ton of stuff. Probably 20+ pages worth of stuff each day. Drug prescriptions, clinical notes, orders, requisitions. It writes absolutely amazingly marvellously. My handwriting, which was good to begin with, has improved significantly since I used this pen. Hand fatigue, which was a huge problem for me, is now gone. Nurses, clerks, patients and other doctors gush over my handwriting. The Lamy black ink is rich and flows smoothly. It never clogs my pen even when I leave it running dry for days. I have dropped this pen at least 100 times, sometimes on its nib. I have refilled it at least 100 times. It still works perfectly, and seems to get better with age. Highly, highly recommended. You will not regret your purchase. Trust me, I'm a real user. Don't listen to critics on YouTube who complain about this pen's nib "inconsistency" and talk about why other pens are better... These folks don't actually need to write anything and the only thing they use their pens for is to repeatedly draw bubbles and write the names of their pens with expensive ink on expensive pieces of paper. Listen to me, a real power user. The only problem with this pen is that, the converter has a ridiculously small capacity. It would run out of ink every 3 days which is a huge hassle. So, if you don't write a lot of stuff, the Lamy Safari and converter combination is perfect for you. If you write a ton of stuff, better get something with a bigger capacity, like a Twsbi Eco, which I also bought and like. The problem with that model is the twist cap, which is a chore to use when you need to use your pen 50 times a day. As for me, as long as this kit works, I'm not buying anything else, don't need to buy anything else.
