When I use my Lamy safari pens, it is such a pleasure to work with it. It is so smooth
This is where this pen shines. The ink flow starts instantly, and doesn’t require any pressure on the paper to keep going.
It can keep up even with scribbling and sketching, and although the nib is fairly firm, you can still get a bit of variation to the line width.
Push down firmly, and the nib will give you a thicker line. Turn it upside down for another trick – the top edge of the nib will still write, and writes with a narrower line. The shape of the pen makes it uncomfortable to use that way for long, but if you need a few quick thin lines, it can be a handy trick.
Compared with some other pens the Safari is slightly scratchy in feel, but it’s not at all unpleasant, and the flow is still perfectly smooth.
