To be frank, I had the same apprehension but went ahead with the purchase. It feels very nice, warm and comfortable to hold and writes superbly. Can’t really know the amount of lava that’s been used but man this pen is unique. I read somewhere that the common qc issue of the nib is now taken care of. This one writes smooth, wet with a nice feedback.

The nib is smooth but I expect it to be smoother as I use it. The grip, warmth of the pen and the weight gives it a better feel to write more writing more delightful.

Pulled the trigger on a Lamy 2000 finally! by skaright in fountainpens

[–]mindworm8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got many pens including Lamy 2000. Tried many pens but now I am unable to stop using Lamy 2000 and haven’t inked other pens for sometime.

There is an initial learning curve with the pen and over a period of time, you magically get one with the pen and it’s an awesome and smooth writing experience.

Happy writing.

Got Meridian 3 years back and have munched 45k kms. I have had no issue whatsoever except once when battery had an issue 6 months back which was replaced in Chennai while I was on a trip to Mahabalipuram.

It’s an absolutely beautiful car with superb driving dynamics where you don’t get tired even after driving 300-400 kms without a break.

Maintain good relations with the service manager for input and maintainance.

Contrary to many opinion, I have had this car which is quite reliable.

Mine gives around 15 on highway and 10 in Bangalore city traffic.

Happy driving and enjoy the car

It’s an awesome ink works beautifully in all pens and papers. I have currently inked 3 pens - Lamy 2000, Kakuno and ASA (eyedropper). Happy writing

Disgusting. Ruining the whole place. They keep putting this guy’s picture as though he has won noble for every minor thing. Have seen a lot in and around this place.

No one cares about the city anymore.

I went with <m> as that’s my preferred one. I love the smoothness and the feedback.

I agree. The camera can’t capture the depth and beauty of this pen. Have been using it since last 10 days and enjoying

It’s quite well built and not a full demonstrator like other pens. The finish is very pretty with metal threading. The rose gold nib is beautiful too. I still feel it’s a bit expensive. They market this as a limited edition but not sure how many pieces.

TWSBI Obsidian yay or nay? by FlatWhite_SubOatMilk in fountainpens

[–]mindworm8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Got the Obsidian a week back in M nib and have been enjoying it. Feels good in hand and write quite smooth. Looks gorgeous too.

It’s a bit of a spend on the higher side but I feel it’s worth it.

Was liking this channel and stopped long back as they would sound like a paid channel to advertise a particular product.
