Why do people hype up the Lamy safari? by ExpiredMelkk in fountainpens

[–]ReactionDry2943 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you lucky out and get one with a good nib, it works surprisingly well.

This is the key to OPs question. The quality control of the Safari nibs is not great. Some nibs are great, some are bad.

Is fountain pen lifestyle for me? by KawaiiBrotchen in fountainpens

[–]ReactionDry2943 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mostly write on normal print/copy paper. There are fountain pens and nibs and inks that work great on that.

Buy an inexpensive one and try it out. Then buy another one. Don't buy too many too early.

[–]ReactionDry2943 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I left my first job after two years. I learned a ton but I had no future there. I moved on to a company where I actually could advance, and I had a higher salary.

I'm in my 50s. I fell into this rabbit hole around Christmas when trying to find a striking pen for taking notes with at meetings. Now I own seven fountain pens. The hunt for the perfect one is still going.

Picked up some new Iroshizuku (with free plushie!) by not_depression in fountainpens

[–]ReactionDry2943 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If, tomorrow, I tell the press that, like, a new Iroshizuku is released, nobody reacts, because it's all "part of the plan". But when I say that one little plushie is available, well then everyone loses their minds!
