@@SpySxlar Lamys are from Germany and in Germany, students only write with pencils in first grade (now, schools use them a little longer, usually until Christmas in second grade). Writing with pencils isn't allowed in exams because they can be erased. That's why we got introduced to fountain pens young. Another reason is that you need more pressure to operate a pencil and German students write A LOT. We generally do not have multiple choice tests but only exams consisting of essays. Math exams don't have multiple choice either, so a tenth grader may easily fill 5 pages with calculations during a 90min exam. So, fountain pens are less painful when held correctly. Pencils are for drawing only after first grade.

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.

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.

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

Have you used a fountain pen? You're pretty much not gonna be able to write at all if you're not holding it the "correct" way..

@@TheJohnLights You're probably mistaking orientations of the nib with a way of holding the pen. I agree that the triangular grip is indeed rather distasteful. I use the proper grip, however, I would still prefer the grip section to be without any shapes, i.e. smooth.

Started using fountain pens about six years ago when I was still working. Most of my fountain pen collection is Lamy and TWSBI based. Love writing with a fountain pen and have ink colors that coordinate with each pen, elevating the experience and beauty for me. Even in retirement, I still prefer pen/paper to digital.

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
@anomalyb73424 ай бұрын
Nah, Lamy's fine and EF may be a little bit feedbacky but try their Medium and Broad nibs.They are really quite smooth. And if you dont like the steel nib, Lamy also offers a 14K gold nib as a replacement.

@xHal13 ай бұрын
Not all steel nibs are harsh, but what you're talking about is feedback, most likely. This could be a result of numerous things (unaligned nib tines, the fineness of the nib, etc) and not just that the nib is steel. I've used some gold nibs that are more scratchy than certain steel nibs. It really just depends.

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.

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.
