He actually did it. He's the guy who can sell a pen.

it‘s also suited for left hand and right hand

With the Safary, Lamy wanted to create a utility item that was practical, inexpensive and functional. It is a “low budget design masterpiece”! It is now a real classic, just like a Pelikan M 200, Montblanc Meisterstück or Kaweco Sport.

They also tend to write on the dry side--which I'm guessing was a deliberate design choice to make the ink go further, dry a bit quicker, and probably a bit less prone to ghosting or bleeding through to the other side of crappy paper. (I normally prefer the smoothness of wetter nibs, but sometimes the drier writers can be quite pragmatic.)

A lot of german kids learned to write with a Lamy. I still have one, for special occasions.

My Lamy fountain pen served me well for over a decade of almost daily use. I got it in first grade and I think the cap was the first thing to break in year 10 or so. Great product

A friend that passed away recently happened to give me this fountain pen as a gift. It reminds me of her when I use it at times. RIP Marci.

I like my Pilot Vanishing Point. Had it for years and I've had no issues other than the matte black finished wearing on the pocket clip and the barrel where it's held and where it lays on its side. It has worked flawlessly with converter or ink cartridges. If you are looking for a daily use fountain pen, I cannot recommend it highly enough

No matter what new pen I get, I always come back to my Lamy Safari.

Best random Wheein sighting omg haha

This guy needs to go on shark tank with that sales pitch.

My Lamy is still my go to writing device. Even when all my schoolmates started using ballpoint pens in the "Oberstufe" I stayed true to my Lamy and use it to this day to fill out documents (I'm German, so that's a lot of it's use case) and making notes. I have mine for 15 years now. I changed its tips and other parts with my classmates... It's a true love story.

Lamy is a German brand, and in germany we have rules starting from first grade where we need to show up with an ink pen like this. Lamy profited highly from that, as they first came out with a more children friendly version thats made from primary colours and soft wood. Later on they released multiple models of plastic pens that felt smooth and nice to the touch, right at the time where most elementary school kids moved up to secondary schools. They're very expensive in comparison to their competitors, but they're famous for their good quality. So while Lamy might be popular for said reasons, if definitively got its fame from my generation of impressionable young teens that wanted to establish trends in the classroom.

Buying this pen now. Thank you Wheein.

I've been using them for 5 years now, I simply love to draw, doodle and write with em they are so amazing

We are a fountain pen nerd and own several. They are the best pens to use, hands down. They can handle any paper quality or type with incredible smoothness and ink flow. Amazing pens.

The way I IMMEDIATELY spotted Wheein lmaoo

Is Daniel Riccardo there in it ❤

I got my first one in 1988. Still a favorite, and I didn’t know I could change the nib!

The most basic pen in german schools explained like it's a new rolls royce 😂

christ this takes me back. had one of these get me through school. wonder if I still have it...

I'm a Mamamoo fan and have never noticed before that Wheein is using this pen in the 'HIP' video!

Just ordered one on Amazon. Excited to see how it writes. I got the Medium tip but ordered a fine in case the medium is too thick.

This is literally one of my favorite pens

In Germany in primary school, everyone has to write with a fountain pen. And I, like most others, started with that exact pen. We even did a fountain pen license in 2nd grade, learning how to hold and write correctly with a fountain pen. Only recently I've started using fountain pens again, got myself a Twsbi Eco.

I've always just bought old dipping pens. 🤷‍♀️ They have removable nibs of different sizes and made of stainless steel. They also force you to properly hold the pen. Also, it's much more fun to pull out a whole ink bottle to dip in and get various reactions from people around you.

Peak nostalgia!

Bro took "sell me this pen" too serious haha

That’s basically the pen every child uses starting in the 2nd grade in Germany. And then there are these using Pelikan. Of course if you ran out of ink the only child carrying spare ink capsules were from Pelikan and so didn’t work with Lamy. Imagine this happened during a test

When I was 9 and we were learning how to write cursive instead of individual letters, we were using pen and nib. Basically a stick with a nib on the end which you dipped into the inkwell built into the school desk. And if you think that's primitive, we also had slates that were kept in the cupboard just in case we ran out of ink. We had a new bottle of ink (about 4 pints iirc) at the start of every term and it HAD to last the whole term. Consequently, the black ink we had at the start of the term was a very pale grey by the end of the term. Once in secondary school (age 11 to 18) it was fountain pens all the way - bring your own ink.

Used that pen more then 10 years now missing this pen so much 😢😢😢

I like the OHTO Rays Gel Pen you can get for ~$5. It writes smooth and is quite durable.

Was not expecting to see Wheein here ❤

I saw wheein and suddenly i'm selling a lung to buy like 20 of these

I remember pens from the 80s and 90s needed much more breaking in than fountain pens today. The Lamy pen seems to work perfectly from the word go. I just wish they could improve their lids. They work loose over time, won't click closed and then the pen dries up. But thankfully plastic pencil lids fit fine!

1:33 bro really needed to hit us with that jawline rn

The Martian music in the background goes so hard

Been using my Lamy for 4 years now, and I've only recently had to get new ink! Love how sustainable these pens are, and so smooooth too.

Holy Shit, Tony Stark and MAMAMOO Wheein in one short, you got me with that

I just recognize it as the one they use in death note.

goddammit now I want a fountain pen

Teachers in Germany generally recommend not to put the cap on the back (and the more “learner” variants of lamy fountain pens have stuff that prevents it) The weight on the back makes the pen much less stable and unbalanced

I used to work for an online stationery company so I have a lot of Lamy pens that I got when I worked there. When I left, the owners gifted me a Lamy Scala fountain pen which is a beautiful metallic navy blue with silver accents. I LOVE IT.

This is my favorite pen next to the G2 gel ink pens

If that "gold" can corrode it's not real gold.

“It forces you to hold it correctly because of it’s shape-“ **Me : PUTS ON A PENCIL GRIPPER**

I sold a lot of high-end writing instruments over the years. Montblanc, Montegrappa, Cartier, Dunhill, St DuPont and plenty others. I have to say the Lamy didn’t write the best, but the overall value was great.

I’m not a newbie to writing with a pen and I hold mine with 4 fingers, gives me significantly greater control which means I can write smaller than anyone can imagine

The Lamy 2000 is their magnum opus. A modern masterpiece of design and functionality.

"and it even forces noobiee to hold it the correct way" my cat

Classic pen. Born in 1973 I used it in school. Several 30 years later my son learned writing with one of those. I still use a lamy at the office. ❤

I don't like the triangle grip. For a start I am an artist, and therefore using a utensil in my hands needs to be able to be held in a variety of ways. When I write, I don't use the standard grip. Just because you believe in a "correct" way to hold a pin doesn't mean you should be forcing your way in to others

I didn't expect such a cute and beautiful song from you, great job pierce-san!

That’s one way to reply to “sell me this pen” because now I’ve gotta buy a pen

I like mine so much that even though I switched to soft nib flex fountain pens, I specifically bought a stub nib for it so I could keep using it. So it is specifically used as my italic and needle point pen. Though I do wish the xf was a little more extra.

Had this in my school years. 10 years, no tearing, no damages and especially the tip is still aligned. Wonderful product which i can recommend

This was my first fountain pen. I still find myself reaching for this more than my other pens. The easy to swap nibs are also the best!

Background Music: The Martian OST 😂

I have two of these pens and they are quite nice to write down notes. I also like the thin lines that they create but sometimes it can be scratchy

I have 2 and I use them to make sketches in my notebook and they work very well

not me holding all pens towards the middle when i write lmao

It just feels so pleasant to use an overengineered everyday item

Can't believe someone remembered about Gatchaman Crowds even if it's for a fountain pen vid

I'm an experienced fountain pen user (with a Parker Duofold and several Taccias in my repertoire). This video induced me to purchase a Lamy from your list (it ended up being the Black-Purple Al-Star). PROPS to you!

Im glad im not the only one who geeks out over a nice pen 😊

I have two of those. Safari with the abs body and Alstar with aluminum body. Both are my favorites.😊

Omg, I literally have that pen and journal with it every night. It’s the only fountain pen I have, and I love the writing experience from it.

I've had bad quality control experiences with Lamy Safaris. If it's your first pen, try a Platinum Preppy or Pilot Kakuni

My favorite pen as a kid was the Pilot Precision V5. Always loved the feel of if it, including how it felt on paper. I personally never heard of this pen, but I'll have to check it out!

Using the song “making water” for this short was genius.

Jokes on you, I have double shot PBT keycaps!

One of these brought me all the way through secondary school (grades 5 through 12) and my graduation... Still have it, still use it, still love to write with it

I may have heard or read about fountain pens but this one is in details that now I want one too. Once I see when it comes to ink.

I remember when I ordered the Muji aluminum fountain I was amazed by its smoothness and consistent lines especially its featherweight. But one day I visited a Virgin Megastore and they had a LAMY booth and I tried the Safari for the first time and holy shit.. I finally understood where all the hype came from, must’ve been one of the smoothest pens I’ve ever used in my life. Unfortunately here in our country the safari is hard to get at MSRP, all shops up sell it so high it sometimes turns me away from buying it, but I’m hoping to get it soon.

ABS is generally not considered a good plastic for some parts of keyboards. In the keycaps, PBT is generally preferred as it is much more resistant to typing, and does not become shiny, smooth and sometimes sticky like what ABS does after using it for a long time. ABS is however a lot cheaper, a good set of PBT keycaps may cost you around £80.

It also just writes really well. It’s a lovely little thing.

As a person that uses only ball point pens and has never had any experience with a fountain pen I see this as an absolute win

Jokes on them, I still hold the pen backwards

Steel nibs have harsh writing experience but what Lamy useful is how sturdy it is. You can keep it unused for weeks and it will still write whereas other pens will refuse as jnk dries

That was surprisingly wholesome

I remember these being a huge trend back when I was 9/10 years old. This was alongside collecting Sharpies as well.

Gold does not get corroded because it is one of the least reactive metals in the reactivity series and it does not react with air or moisture easily. Gold does not get affected by oxygen and most acids. Gold is more stable than any other compounds such as sulfides or oxides.

It's also really inexpensive considering that they make everything in house.

This was the pen that finally got me into the Pen 15 club!

Loved that pen!

Fountain pen, mechanical keyboard and my fedora. My weekend is about to start.

Bought a copy of the Lamy Safari and even the copies are so good that that im still using it to this day.

i LOVE my Lamy, what i love about my pen is that its not only inexpensive but its lovely and just so easy to use. its sleek, simple but iconic, and it delivers. i HIGHLY recommend this lovely pen. i draw with it AND i use it for writing on the fly. i know i sound like im an ad reader, but im being genuine, i love this pen

Love mine! Still use it years later!

Note: Though there are people saying it works for left handed peopple. remember you have to write everything from right to left to avoid smudging the ink.

You know you’re rich when you start looking at expensive pens and notebooks.

i fell in love with the lamy 2000 ... has been my pen for the last years, best one ive ever used

LOVED ALL THIS

I need this pen for my traditional art supplies ❤

“To hold it correctly” ☝️🤓

You got me at the Lego part.

It looks amazing

Oh, I have one of those! Its great for beginners, or anyone who like using fountain pens! Its super nice, easy to hold and use, and comfortably light!

Thank you! I bought one of these at a bookstore going out of sale that had no info or name of it left and the ink is finally running low - I’m so glad to have a link. Can agree - it’s a GREAT pen
