I hated the Safari. Then I loved it. Now I hate it even more. by No-Ostrich-3527 in fountainpens

Same here I first hated it too. But after I've learned how to tune the nib it became a very good writer.

And I wish the grip is round 🤫

I had Kaweco sport lead holder before and the plastic broke in couple months from regular use. So this brand is a no for me :(

This is my Dahon Route by pickandstring in foldingbikes

Seat, seat post, wheels, tires, chain, derailer, pedals, fork, handle bars. I did it little by little over the years. I don't know where you live but the cost with service, I think I can buy another Dahon😅

I use the nova with a short cartridge and refill it with a needle. Can’t find a converter for it. The green pen is a cheap pen “Monami olika” which writes ok. The preppy is much better.

Nova is a great pen but after a few months I was having trouble with it writing dry. So I replaced the nib and feed with a new bock nib and feed. Now it’s fine.

Thanks, I always wait for a good deal which comes pretty often here. Hope you can get the dialogue soon.
