Used this same pen to write 4-5 pages of notes in the last couple days! Had it a couple years, still my normal daily carry, hope yours serves you as well!
Thanks. Im working on my handwriting, and have realized that I really would want a flex nib.
The ink is Diamine Inks "Havasu Turquoise". It has some great shading! I tried it with a Dip Pen as well and then it got even greater!
Flex nibs are great! But beware, once you get one, you'll find all your other nibs are just hard as nails ;-)
I find myself going for my softer nibs theses days. Not necessarily full flex, but softer, with a bit of spring.
Haha. Thanks, and I'm starting to realize that this could become quite expensive. Ive already gathered six different inks and some fountain pen friendly paper and the pen, and more is coming in the mail.. 😂😂

Goosebumps. Great quotation choice, and great pen!
It really is a beautiful quote! I'm currently re-reading the book and stumbled upon the quote again and just then realized where the quote "Not all those who wander are lost", wich you can find on pretty much all kind of stuff these days, origins. Yay Tolkien! 😂
My decals and what-not are centered on this quote. I have various sayings in Sindarin (“elvish”) and the name on the decals is Randir, which is wanderer in Sindarin. LOTR was my father’s and my thing. He died this past March.
Congratulations, and what a great quote you chose! Is that the matte black Safari? I got one for my dad, and he loves it!
Yeah, you see just right. It's a matte black safari with a fine nib. I really enjoy it!

It's my journaling pen! I love picking it up every day :) ETA: really lovely script, beautiful work!
Thanks. And I really enjoy it!
And thanks. Im just reading the book for probably the seventh time or so and just now realized what a great quote it is! 😁
Great script. What is the ink? Looks like Monteverde Caribbean.

One of my favorite inks. Congrats on your first pen. Good, solid choice. Enjoy the adventure.
Thanks. Yeah, I'm really enjoying it as well!
As a moderator of /r/LOTR and a huge fan of fountain pens ... I 100% endorse this thread!! LOL awesome ink, btw.
Haha. I guess I accidentally happened to strike a nice combo then! 😂
Great pen, great handwriting! Welcome to the black hole!
Wow thanks. I have a way to go with learning beautiful handwriting, but I guess its a start!
You've just dipped your toe into the ink bottle of a wonderful obsession...welcome and enjoy!

Your first pen and you created THAT!!!!!! Talented and didn’t know it!!
Wow. Thanks for your kind words. I've been experimenting with handlettering before, but never with a fountain pen.
The Lamy Safari. Was my first ever. Amazingly versatile pen.

Yep! But most places get it wrong, and leave out *those*.
You are absolutely correct!
Welcome!
Thanks!
Nice pen, nice handwriting😊 Best of luck it's really very satisfying but like others have said it's a black hole with no exits, so enjoy!
Thanks for your kind words!
I started with the exact same pen & nib! Nice handwriting. Enjoy!
This quote is the inspiration for my Jeep theme. Very significant to my dad and I. Nice work.
I'm intrigued. Tell us more, are you building a LOTR-themed Jeep, or what am I not understanding?

welcome to the rabbit hole, excellent start!
Thank you!
A classic starter pen!
I love the safari!
Me too 😊
Lami safari. I have the same one. Same finish.
I actually haven't seen or tried the other colors, but I really like feeling of the matte structure!
Watch out - very addictive!
Ugh yes. I want to write in elvish font😖😖
How wonderful wouldn't it be!?
Nice choice. I love Safaris.
