Finally got a Lamy Studio in Imperial Blue; it's a beautiful pen, the chrome grip certainly feels different but I think I'm getting along with it. The F nib just glides, none of my other 7 Vista nibs have felt this good, even though they are the same. Perhaps the guy who sold it to me took the trouble of adjusting it. I'm using Callidolio Équinoxe 6, I thought "blue ink and blue pen how boring" but since it works so well...

Not me, but someone at my table used a Lamy Safari, white. The best I know about the ink is that it looked blue.

Lamy LX Rose Gold, fine nib, Waterman's Absolute Brown

New to me Lamy Coffee Al-Star, broad nib, sample of J. Herbin's Amethyste de l'Oural (nice enough, but I prefer the darker and more dusty color of R&K's Scabiosa)

Lamy 2000 extra fine. Very pleasant to write with.

Lx Gold medium nib with Dark Lilac ink. Writes much drier than my Safaris so it makes the ink look different. Lite Lilac ink, or Faded Lilac ink. Definitely not dark. Perhaps I'll floss the nib with a brass sheet to see if it makes a difference

Check that the tines are parallel to each other. If they converge at the tip, bend them out a bit gently, with a wooden ruler or against a wooden desk edge.

      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
