Here’s my thoughts , ✍️

I’ve been looking for a good quality fountain pen, especially local Indian brand

Since other refills like gel pens don’t meet my needs as a heavy user, I highly recommend fountain pens for everyone.

The thing is, with fountain pens is there’s a lot to consider – the ink, the paper, the nib size, and of course, the pen itself!

You don’t want to waste money on something that won’t last.

I initially considered a brand called Wality, specifically the (Kalaingar) pen, but I couldn’t find it anywhere online. So, I ended up with the Lamy, a brand you might already know.

Try Wality too.

Paper quality is so important. GSM, which stands for grams per square meter, is a key factor. Above 80 GSM is good, but I personally suggest using paper above 100 GSM.

What model I’m currently using

• LAMY Safari
• Nib - Medium ( smooth experience )
• Ink - I prefer Parker

Here’s what I loved about it:

• Coming with a syringe-type refilling tank
• One time investment
• Beginners will try this its easy-to-use cartridge/converter system
• Ergonomic design, light weight and grip are positives
• Customisation with readily available nib options for Pro writers.
• Mostly nib design protects prevents accidental ink smudging.

Smooth Writing Experience - The steel nib delivers a smooth and consistent writing experience, even for those new to fountain pens. and you can buy nibs that are sold separately

Some things that don’t work for me:

• Costly: Out of my budget range.
• Not recommended for everyone: Only suitable for fountain pen users.
• Ink price: Compared to Indian brands, Lamy ink is expensive. That’s why I choose a different brand.

Overall:

The Lamy Safari is a well-deserved classic.
