Lamy Joy 1.5Mm Italic Stub Nib Written Review

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, here's a written review of the Lamy Joy with a 1.5mm Italic Stub nib. I haven't seen any reviews for this pen/nib combination, so here goes nothing! Sorry for any seemingly confusing information, this is my first review. Sorry if my handwriting isn't all that good, it never has been.

 

I really cannot figure out why the pictures are uploading sideways, so my advance apologies.

 

Let me know what you think, and enjoy!

Uh, could you rotate the pics so the text can be read comfortably?

 

Thank you

I would, but I don't know how! Sorry!

Seth,

How are you holding the pen relative to the paper?

From the line variation, it looks like your pen and hand is almost due right of the letters, rather than below the letters.

I just received the same pen (Lamy Joy) with a 1.1 nib.

And it has just been adopted as one of my favorite pens to write with, because of the ease of making the line variations when I write.

Plus the fact that I like desk pens, and the Joy looks and feel just like a desk pen.

I chose the narrower 1.1 nib because I wanted to use it for general writing, and did not want a wide line difference. IOW, just enough to make the writing look interesting.

 

BTW, here is Seth's review rotated right side up for easier reading.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
