Review: Fantastic Pen, must buy. - I’m a Parker frontier regular, started using this one recently. Ink flow- Lamy has a better ink flow and writes broader compared to Parker Frontier. Weight - extremely light weight. Comfortable for long writing. I enjoyed writing using Lamy Safari , though this is totally a personal choice. Takes some getting used to. My Parker frontier was a heftier pen and I was used to its weight. I’d not recommend using fancy inks with this pen. Use Parker Quink black. It’s a very well behaved ink and works well with all sorts of paper qualities. Do clean your pen regularly. It’s easy and can be done passively. Just unscrew and dismantle everything (that comes off easily without much yanking) and immerse it in a bowl of water overnight. Reassemble in the morning and you’re good to go. I recommend doing this once a month.
Review: Good Pen - I have both Lamy Safari & Pilot Metropolitan, if you want smoothness pilot is miles ahed. LAMY is little bit "scratchy", I had to grind it to make it little bit smoother, but still not as smooth as pilot. Grip section is nice with tripod grip. The quality of plastic is nice. The umbra color is not black- which is good thing. It has brownish hue. Value for money? I don't know. One tip: the cartridge ink provided is very dry, discard it & fill up the z28 converter provided in the box with wet ink for better flow. I use Pelikan 4001 Blue-black (not so wet ink, but I love the colour).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Beginner Friendly Fountain Pen.
*by K***N on 15 March 2025*

The ink flows smoothly onto the paper without straining your hands, great beginner fountain pen, replaceable nibs and just an overall good pen for a cheap price compared to other name brands. Although if you do not like plastic, I would recommend the Al-Star for a few hundred more. Very smooth ink.
