After starting a new job I very recently got into using fountain pens. I wanted something to make my very paperwork heavy job feel a little more fun, and reward myself for the new position with some little office goodies.
I now have a small collection that includes a Muji Aluminium (EF), Pilot Kakรผno (F), Kaweco Skyline Sport (BB), and Lamy Safari (M) with the clear favorite for me being the Safari!
I appreciate its modern and very functional design as I prefer bold colors and shapes to what might be considered more traditional ornamentation in this industry, the matte finish feels better than the plastic or "resin" of other pens to me, the grip section similarly feels great and is a very comfortable width for me. I also find the idea of a pen as a platform that Lamy brings to the table very appealing. With one pen I can use a wide variety of nibs, all without needing donor bodies or anything. I can just order an EF or calligraphy nib directly from Lamy's website if I'm feeling something else for my EDC.
The nib performance has also been very good, it writes very well right out of the box, doesn't skip like my Kaweco does, accommodates a number of angles without being fussy and it's smooth with a slight amount of feedback that is easy to distinguish from my other pens --it almost has the feel of a felt fine line marker when you register the feedback.
I almost want to exchange my other pens for two other Safaris (probably a fine and some kind of broad nib) since I don't like collecting more than I need. But for now it's fun just having the variety, and it would be hard for me to get rid of the Kakรผno which is a close runner up!

Shoutout to @pilotpenau ... again (I know!) but seriously, no other pen company looks after calligraphers the way they do. Iโve been using parallel pens for a very long time - modified, ground to custom size, filled with glitter, converted to eye dropper, you name it. Iโm a more recent convert to their regular fountain pens - especially the Falcon, but even the entry level pens are great (and youโre not devastated if you lose them!). Happy 100 years of ink love, Pilot! . . . #pilot100years #pilot100 #pilotpen #melbournecalligraphy #calligraphy #inklove #inktastic #asagao #yamabudo #parallelpen #pilotmr #pilotmetro #kakuno #ajisai #iroshizuku #iroshizukuink #lovemyjob #pennerd #stationerylove #bujo #joyofwriting #snailmail #handwriting #italic #calligraphynerd #bringbacksnailmail https://www.instagram.com/p/BngK3r8gWOr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=137q4orvn1ha6
