The last time I used a "real" fountain pen was in elementary school (1950's, so
you know how old I am). I remember filling the pen with those dreadful bottles
of ink, spilling ink and having drips, leaks and ink stained fingers all day.
How wonderful this pen is!!! For a lefty it does seem to write smoothly and I
love the convenience of the ink cartridges and availability of colored inks.
Thanks to "The Mind of Watercolor" for introducing me to your website.
Purchased this for my woman who's sinistrous and she loves it. LAMY offers
basically the only standard option for left handed writers in the fountain pen
world and combined with the excellent quality and affordability of the Safari
line makes it the perfect choice for a new fountain pen user.
This was my first foray into the world of fountain pens. As a lefty, I wasn't
really sure what to expect. I like this a lot. it's comfortable to write with, I
love the style and bright sunshine yellow color, and there's no feedback in my
eyes. Personally the medium nib writes too thick for me to use as an everyday
pen so I would go for a finer nib next time and I would invest in some nice
black ink. I opted for some compatible cartridges and I found that the ink
feathered a lot so maybe if I use another type it'll work better. Definitely a
good starter option!
