That is a great idea, changing the nib of a 3776 to a Procyon, the Procyon body is just so much nicer than the cheap plastic of the 3776. Do you think that a President nib would fit on the Procyon body? I wonder if it would work.

Parker is not an American brand. It is quintessentially British and English. It is the official pen of the Crown! I know they made many in France and America due to the colonial influence.

The answer is yes. The Lamy bodies are nice, particularly the AL-star… and the triangular grip is really great…. BUT…. Add the 14k nib…. And it is really nice. Makes the experience of writing with what is already an incredibly functional pen (think Bauhaus) that much better. The Stainless nibs are good, don’t get me wrong…. It’s just that much better with the gold.

Is that a Medium or Fine nib?

I have the Lamy AL Star in fiery (a rose-coral color) with a transparent deep ruby red grip section. I think it's stunning to look at, comfortable to use -- and I love the way it writes. I'm a medium nib writer. I'm sure the Safaris are nice too, but if I splurge and get another, it will be an AL Star.

A suggestion: Please set your camera to "Manual" focus. Focus on the page once, and then it won't keep refocusing on your hand when you write, so we can see the actual pen contacting the paper. Thank you

Being relatively new to fountain pens, and owning a Lamy safari in a medium, I am looking for something that offers me more line variation and shading. The sailor Music nib sample really caught my eye, but I would like a finder nib that has the same qualities (line variation and shading). Would you have a couple of suggestions on which pens, nib and ink combinations would allow me to achieve this? It must be affordable as I use it as a daily writer and carry it with me.

I have the 146 and love it… I have a big hand and it works. I looked at the 149, but that rascal is huge…. Too big for practicality…. Beautiful… but impractical. I have a medium nib,,,, but am thinking I need the oblique medium for my style. I actually prefer my Parker Duofold.
@zenrazor659 Ай бұрын
Perhaps the pen is good but with 60 € plus you can get a Pelikan and with 140€《plus you get a Von Faber Castell with better geometry and better nib and a better section before the nib. This pen is really ugly😮 especially the section nib! Too smooth!
@sylviarienzo6955 Ай бұрын
I enjoyed the natural way you spoke in your video and your information was good, but it was jarring for me to hear Lamy so mispronounced, especially when you used the word so often. I hate to be critical but when you suggested you might review the Lamy Safari I felt compelled to say something. The proper pronunciation of the a in Lamy sounds like both the a’s in Safari, or as though it would be spelled Lahmy. I am sort of a stickler on pronunciation and I have a good ear apparently for how to pronounce words, even many foreign words. I particularly pay attention to foreign words for some reason. So apologies for being picky. but honestly I’ve never heard anyone say it the way you do.

Great pen BUT way overpriced. Yes. However, the pleasure I feel when I just hold on my hands my 149s, 146s Solitaire, Oscar Wilde... is priceless! Plus, the "precious resin" from Montblanc is of the highest quality and densest plastic I've ever seen on any pen, to the point of appearing, both to the eye and to the touch, to be a sort of "amalgam" of plastic and glass, rather than just plastic. Absolutely nothing to do with the plastic used by the rest of the brands (including Pelikan). That is why the Montblanc "precious resin" does not feel plasticky at all, while all the other brands' does.

I am absolutely in the market for a Pilot 845 Vermillion Urushi either M or B nib. You say you bought it at retail from an Asian retailer at 50,000¥ (~320 USD). I can’t find a retailer anywhere near that, and well, it sounds like a great deal! If you or anyone else knows, please point me to the source where you bought that pen. Also, if anyone has a new or used one they’d like to sell, I’d be happy to own it. Thanks for your help!
@yourdarkshadow0 Ай бұрын
it is actually possible. a black completely new 845 with a fine nib went on sale for $330 on r/pen_swap just 4 days ago. it's warranty is voided as the seller bought from a grey market, so you'd have to hope it didn't have any defects. you can fine some new ones for around $400 on buyee which is a good price imo. if you just want one, you can have it now for that price, but if you really want one around $320, you'd have to wait probably a year or more for a good deal. it all comes down to how much you want one in your hands.
@yourdarkshadow0 Ай бұрын
one last thing: although the seller i mentioned has already sold the pen, i suspect they might have found it in a very good deal as they were willing to part with it for just $330. as they stated it was a grey market find, you could try asking them where they got it from. who knows, they might have some leads. anyways good luck.

I recently (August 2024) bought a Pilot Falcon fountain pen with the soft nib. I have collected and used fountain pens for 20 years. This pen worked for about a month of casual use before the ink ceased to flow through the nib. Then it just failed. There was no damage to the nib - the ink just stopped flowing properly. In my sad experience this was just a piece of junk and do not recommend this at all. I really expected so much more from a Japanese product but... in this case it was a shameful, cheap piece of shame. This is my experience and resulting opinion.

I love my Jinhao X159 fountain pen. Don't care about the Montblanc "precious resin" builds. Don't care about the $1400. cad price tag on the Montblanc. Don't care about whether the nib is overlayed gold on the Montblanc nibs. Don't care about the overpriced reputation of the Montblanc Name or its elitist history. I do care about the price (Jinhao x159) being only $20 cad If i loose or damage the nib on Jinhao x159 , I can easily replace a Jinhao x159..a Montblanc damaged nib costs over $100 cad to repair and $200 cad for a replacement. (depending where you go to get it done)

I have a soft spot for Lamy as well. And that all started with the 2000 I bought back in '79 in my first semester of college. It wasn't perhaps a wise move financially. But I've never regretted it. There's a reason it's been so popular for so long :)
