Lamysafari umbra - Fountain Pen with ergonomic grip & black steel nib in size M - ideal for any Writing & Calligraphy - including LAMY T 10 blue cartridge - Right-Handed

I am knee deep in the stationary and planner communities online, but I haven't been interested in the fountain pen side of these communities. Oh, they're pretty, I love their aesthetic, and online influencers write so beautifully with them! Of course it's crossed my mind to give them a go! But I was content with gel pens and ball point pens and didn't see a need.That is until I developed stiff hands in the evening. Writing became difficult, sometimes even painful, when the temperature drops in my house and my fingers refuse to bend like they used to. I tried hand warmers, and desktop heaters, and I've even introduced typing gloves into my workflow. But some folks recommended I try a fountain pen because the way one holds the pen is quite comfortable and they require no pressure at all to write with.So here we are, with the Lami safari in light rose. I have the F nib, which I find isn't fine enough for me, but that means I get to buy a second one, right? Haha. Setup was easy; I actually owned this for a month before putting it together because I was nervous for some reason, but it only took a few seconds to install the cartridge and everything flowed smoothly after that.The pen is incredibly comfortable to hold. Since you hold fountain pens differently from normal pens, I have had to relearn how to write, but it's been worth it -- the new writing position is incredibly gentle on my fingers, and a lot of my movement has transferred into my wrist, so I'm not relying on my fingers as much to make those minute gestures needed for handwriting.The nib doesn't skip or scratch, and it's quite easy to control the flow of the ink from pen to paper. Having never used a fountain pen before this one, I can honestly say there was very little learning curve, and this is by far the most comfortable writing tool I've used in all my life!

A beautiful, practical, light, and perfectly functioning pen which will not leak and one can actually even keep it not only in a pocket or on a desk, but in the car

great ink flow and smooth writing; no discontinue flow or breakage in the scripting. like the simplicity of the design. Not sure how long will last, pen is made of plastic.

This pen writes beautifully and is very smooth. It takes some time to switch from ball-point but well worth the effort. And I find that the lighter touch is easier on my hand/wrist which I am pleasantly surprised with. Also, while I really don't care what people think, this pen is a "looker" and impresses everyone who sees it.

It’s a smooth pen that fits comfortably in the hand and writes smoothly, only thing is this pen is too glossy in terms of texture (personal preference IK). Additionally found the nib to be too fine, my mistake of course however other than that it’s a great pen. If you are looking at a starter fountain tip I would definitely recommend using a pen from this brand, just make sure it’s a matte finish

Looks great and writes smoothly. I got the medium nib and should have gotten the larger one

Great pen and delivered as promised. Students were delighted. There is nothing that sketches like a Lamy pen.

Well I love these pens. I have 3. This is the fine point pen. I use it everyday!
