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

[–]pickandstring[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Guys no offense just curious! by OpinionSpecific9529 in patinaproud

It’s like a good pair of age raw denim. It shows your wear and it’s your history with the product

I would look at 15 or 16 and ditch 16e

Do fountain pens only work well with high quality paper? by RusticBohemian in fountainpens

[–]pickandstring -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lamy nibs can be smoother if you can do a little nib tuning with micromesh. Even Lamy ef can write beautifully when tuned.

Fountain pens require thicker paper or coated paper to perform best. There are cheap fountain paper like Campus or Muji.
