Thanks for showing your collection! Love safaris....especially the matte finish! I am the opposite....I love using my Ecos with shimmers...just keep them upright...never had a problem. I don't like using shimmers in my Lamys...lol.
I love my Lamy's! I have 2 Safari's, 1 Al-Star, and one NEXX. Oh and my favorite: 1 Vista. I love being able to swap the nibs!!! The pens are akways reliable toi!!! ✒ Your Picachu Safari set is so cute!
@@HeldinWrites you imply that there are conditions when it might happen? I got pilot kakuno 2 months back and they do have problem when starting, if i dont clean them(in 10 days or so). They write smoothly after cleaning. Do you have any recommendations with large ink capacity and less maintenance. I write daily around 40 pages and i have to fill them every other day which is a little discouraging.
I just ordered my very first Lamy .. went for the LX Marron .. loved the colour and looking forward to getting it! You have a very nice pen collection, including those Pelikans that you showed us! And.....I also ordered my first Pelikan pen ever, the M800 2019 Special Ed. Black/Brown..oh man..the chocolate brown on them on the caps and the bottom is just so amazing and goes so well with the gold trims .. I just cannot wait to get my hands on it .. I am a big fan of Parker and I have 4 x 18K Sonnet fountain pens and some of their ballpoints. I think the Sonnets are amazing value for how they write .. so smooth and the weight of the Sonnets exactly equals the M800 would you believe it down to the cap, at least my Carbon Chiselled finish does. I am right into the insane club and God help me! hahaha!
@@HeldinWrites I happened to watched this video again cos I bought a Red Lamy Safari today cos I am suffering pen insanity again! Yes I bought the M800 back then from Amazon (sorry I somehow missed your earlier reply) .. and guess what .. I didn't like it somehow and returned it back to the ZON! The nib was super wet and not to my liking .. plus the whole thing felt so light and overpriced for what it really is. I have been wanting a red fountain pen for a dedicated red ink (Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Red), so I just bought a red Lamy with medium nib and perfectly loving it .. goddam it it writes well .. I think I might have got lucky cos about a year ago I bought the LX and returned it as it wrote bad and I was wondering what was so special about it! That LX dark nib is dodgy imo .. this Safari beats it hollow. Lamy 2000 just looks horrible with that buried nib and I wouldn't touch it. Now, here's a secret .. I already have a couple of Cross Peerless 125 ball point pens in blue and titanium grey and I love them as they are big and feels good in the hand .. Cross should do better refills but the standard ones work ok. And then I stumbled across a Peerless 125 fountain pen in titanium grey on Amazon for half their own price .. weird pricing and last one available .. so I just grabbed it for like the equivalent of US$185 here in Australia .. the very next day the price was double for the same pen on Amazon and I guess I got lucky. Got to tell you that pen is a large one with a Sailor 21K gold nib on it and my word .. writes like a Boss! You get a well designed heavy pen plus the awesome Japanese nib. Much better than buying a boring Sailor pen with the same nib I reckon. There is certainly a revival in old brands like Cross who are coming up with better stuff now I reckon. After being totally impressed with the Lamy Safari today for all of A$55 I gawked at your lovely pen colours and you have set me off now! God save me! What do you reckon is the most coolest looking Lamy grail pen in your opinion? Have a great day .. I envy your collection, very nice and pretty colours! Have a great day!
I’ve only recently got into fountain pens. I’ve bought two twsbi minis but I’ve also now ordered a Lamy rollerball. I think I’m going to have to buy a Lamy fountain pen too though 😅💰💰💰💰💰

Hello!
Do these pens have drying issues if not used for a while?
Not really!

Have you gotten the m800 yet? Do you like it?

I love the Lamy vista!
I have three safaris, I got the pastel collection, I want to own that pikachu and line friends too, theyre so cute!

It's a rabbit hole haha
16:18 what is nib ef-f-M-b ?
ef = extra fine
f = fine
M = middle
b = broad
Yeah, the procrustean grip makes the safari style pens utterly unusable for me.
It is not for everyone.
