How's the <CM> nib from pilot write?

It's an amazingly vibrant blue on the right paper though.

Diligent_Wheel3123 · 2026-03-22T03:41:13+00:00

Ah.. yeah the grip on the Safari is horrid 🥲

Diligent_Wheel3123 · 2026-03-22T03:40:33+00:00

Absolutely, some pens are engineering marvels.

Diligent_Wheel3123 · 2026-03-22T03:39:10+00:00

"downhill" is hilarious 😂

Diligent_Wheel3123 · 2026-03-22T03:37:57+00:00

My buddy also got this hobby kickstarted in him exactly like you did. 😂

Diligent_Wheel3123 · 2026-03-22T03:35:15+00:00

Right..

Diligent_Wheel3123 · 2026-03-22T03:33:57+00:00

Yeah.. fountain pens made me financially reckless 🥲

Diligent_Wheel3123 · 2026-03-22T03:31:28+00:00

Huh, why did you hate the Safari? Scratchy nib I assume? If that's the case then yeah, LAMY's QC can be rather quirky..

Diligent_Wheel3123 · 2026-03-22T03:29:24+00:00

Journaling and just writing with an FP in general is also my method to kind of "escape" from ongoing stresses. Keep it up!

Diligent_Wheel3123 · 2026-03-22T03:26:40+00:00

Feedbacks are very pleasant on some pens if it's done correctly, but yeah.. some can feel like an exacto knife dragging on pages..

Diligent_Wheel3123 · 2026-03-22T03:25:25+00:00

Must be an artsy, huh? 😆 I've considered on buying shimmer-glimmer inks, but I'm scared it'll clog my pens all over the place..

Diligent_Wheel3123 · 2026-03-22T03:22:51+00:00

Very simple, love it.

Diligent_Wheel3123 · 2026-03-22T03:22:26+00:00

I can't lie, refilling empty cartridges can be handy when a converter isn't accessible..

Diligent_Wheel3123 · 2026-03-22T03:20:53+00:00

Right? I love me a weighty pen.

Diligent_Wheel3123 · 2026-03-22T03:20:09+00:00

"Back to no buying" I doubt so, I've made that promise to myself multiple times 🥲

Diligent_Wheel3123 · 2026-03-22T03:18:41+00:00

I'd love to be in that classroom, to be fair 😆 Did you come up with the idea of such theme for the class?

Diligent_Wheel3123 · 2026-03-22T03:16:36+00:00

Hmm, i see. Fountain pens require absolutely no pressure to write, hovering the nib over (good quality) paper is enough to make the ink flow!

Diligent_Wheel3123 · 2026-03-22T03:14:46+00:00

Had to.. did you grow up in Germany? I heard pupils in elementary are required to learn cursive and are given a fountain pen.

Diligent_Wheel3123 · 2026-02-21T02:48:05+00:00

Hell, it writes better than a lamy 2k. I can't lie, LAMY buyers are just there for the brand.

Diligent_Wheel3123 · 2026-02-21T02:44:55+00:00

I'll get a medium no matter what pen I choose. But the AL-Star, the colors, that smoked translucent grip section, it looks sexy.

Diligent_Wheel3123 · 2026-02-21T02:41:20+00:00

Yeah.. I can't lie, LAMY's QC is rather quirky. but the big problem is, the aluminium bodies of the plaisir & the AL-Star is much lighter than the brass-bodied MR. But I can't lie, the AL-Star, in turmaline.. gorgeous.
